If you are into hypothetical comparisons, we could pay off Britain’s national debt four times over if everyone sold up. From ‘go whistle’ to ‘where do we sign’ – A Brexit divorce bill of £50bn is close to being settled. Kim missile – North Korea has test-fired a ballistic missile that it claims can strike anywhere on the US mainland.

The Telegraph tells a similar story: “Britain and EU agree on Brexit bill”, as does the FT: “Britain bows to EU on divorce bill in search of Brexit breakthrough”.
