The EU faces a budget crisis, how will EU official afford all their luxuries, private jets etc now? Should we start a hardship fund for them?

“The U.K., which has been one of the EU’s key contributors, left the bloc on January 31. Over the last few years its net contribution to the EU has been around £7.8 billion per year and, as such, the U.K.’s departure could leave the group with a shortfall of around £55 billion ($71.3 billion) over the next seven years.

The remaining 27 EU countries are now scratching their heads and trying to find ways to make up the difference. In an emergency meeting Thursday, the bloc’s leaders will seek to agree on its next budget, but there are expected to be long and arduous fights between those paying the highest amounts to the EU and those receiving the most money from it.

“The situation won’t get better over time ... We face between 60 and 75 billion (euro, $64.7-81 billion) gap because of Brexit, we are facing new challenges and new priorities ... and member states have a tight budgetary situation, so realism is needed,” an EU official, who did not want to be named due to being close to the negotiations, told reporters in Brussels Wednesday.”

60/75 billion, peanuts in the scope of the multi trilion eu budget, you overestimate your importance in the bigger scope of eu finance

Anyway you are now really out of the EU,best of luck to you guys, hope everything goes well in that global Britain, or return to empire, or our commonwealth, or whatever bullshit dreams you have, best of luck,

But when on the first of January when all the social and political problems that you and the mail and the Express blame Europe for, and these problems are still there on the morning of the 1st of January, please find someone else to blame, or maybe you could grow up and face these problems like adults, i wait with bated breath

Greatest case of self harm since lemmings discovered cliffs.

The tabloids and the extreme right wing of the tory party, not forgetting their black money funders, have a lot to answer for. I fear that many brexit voters will have cause to suffer buyer's remorse within the next few years.

Thank goodness, Scotland is on a different direction of travel. The economic damage coming from the destructive actions of the ERG and the blond buffoon will only strengthen the case for independence, so expect the 58% to move above 60% as the costs are felt.

“The remaining 27 EU countries are now scratching their heads and trying to find ways to make up the difference”

Hardly, they reduce the proposed expenditure to match the anticipated receipts. That’s why it’s called a budget.

“there are expected to be long and arduous fights between those paying the highest amounts to the EU and those receiving the most money from it”

Like every budget discussion? Quite normal and nothing new. But since Thatcher the UK hasn't produced a decent fighter...

Think those numbers are 6. - 7.5 Billion as we only paid that roughly net. 75 Billion would mean we paid half the budget.

They could ask France and Netherlands to pay more as they have had most of the £10billion increase in tax receipts due to U.K. banking funds moving there. Or seeing as the EU is predicted to grow 4% next year the net profit on that should fill the gap nicely. Btw these are our own government figures published in December 2020 that the U.K. will see 2% growth.

I don’t think the EU is crumbling just yet. Oh and don’t we have a rather large divorce bill to pay yet?.

In fairness. Being told to read the daily mail is a below the belt insult to anyone intelligence.

Both garbage; but the express pips the post.
