Britain sets aside £10bn for future payments to EU more than eight years after Brexit vote

Britain has set aside more than £10bn for post-Brexit payments to the EU as the UK continues sending billions to Brussels despite having left the bloc years ago.

To cover the cost of the UK’s divorce from Europe, the government has accounted for £10.6bn in future payments for Brussels staff and diplomats’ pensions, as well as Britain’s pre-existing financial obligations.
