I am not sure there was ever an actual stated amount was there? Plenty of rumours of the EU wanting €60-100billion, but I am not sure anything was ever properly announced. It certainly will not be €40m though.
€40b could be a nice little compromise. It gives the EU cash while allowing TM to say "look at how great at negotiating I am, I saved us €60billion!".
Norway is different in that it has free movement of EU nationals right?
They do. Which is why Britain will not go for that model, the hard right Tories and the newspapers will never allow it.
