The Maybot managed to secure an uneasy consensus in December when she announced the Treasury and the EU had agreed a figure around £39bn for the 'divorce bill'.
In a new report, the PAC said Treasury estimates missed “potentially significant” costs such as setting up new post-Brexit customs and trade arrangements and participating in EU schemes after leaving the EU, which taxpayers could pay into for years to come.
It now seems the Treasury’s previous estimates of £35bn to £39bn failed to take into account an additional £10bn of costs to the government, including £3bn towards the European Development Fund, which provides overseas aid.
Some payments could continue up to 2064, the committee claimed, which will infuriate Brexiteers who are keen to make a clean break with the EU.
To add to Tory embarrassment at being caught lying, cross-party MPs also tore into the prospect of a “Brexit dividend”, saying any benefit from cash clawed back from Brussels was difficult to calculate and could take years to materialise.
Critics have attacked Treeza for claiming that a promised £20bn NHS boost could be funded partly by money the UK sends to Brussels.
Seems critics (and the rest of us who don't believe in free unicorns for all) were right - she was lying.
Tories LIE. Never, ever trust a Tory.
