Britain will pay "not a penny more, not a penny less" than what the government thinks its legal obligations are to the European Union as the country leaves the bloc, foreign minister Boris Johnson said on Friday. Talking to BBC Radio Four, Johnson said his comment that the EU could "go whistle" on its demands for payment was in response to being asked whether Britain would pay "100 billion euros or pounds", and not a suggestion that the government would not pay.
Poland's prime minister on Friday blasted as "arrogant" French President Emmanuel Macron's criticism of her right-wing government, suggesting he lacked political experience. "Perhaps his (Macron's) arrogant comments result from lack of political experience, which I can understand, but I expect that he will make up for this shortcoming and will be more restrained in the future," Beata Szydlo told the right-wing wPolityce.pl news website. Macron, who took office in May, earlier Friday criticised Szydlo's government for going "against Europe's interests" and warned Warsaw risked finding itself "on the margins" of the bloc in the future.
