Re: Money for NHS

Britain will have to pay the European Union a hefty sum if it is to follow through with Brexit, with claims that an estimated €25 billion is owed to the bloc in unpaid bills.

Re: Money for NHS

Did it tell a lie?


The UK has voted to leave, but remains a member of the EU and will continue to pay into the common pot for several years. It is due to contribute £45.3bn between 2016 and 2020, the net total once the British rebate and payments to British farmers, scientists and regions have been stripped out.

If Theresa May fires the starting gun on EU divorce talks next year, the earliest possible moment under current thinking, the UK could be out by 2019. But the EU’s €960bn seven-year spending plan does not expire until 2020.

Clearly as usual pro Brexit papers won't publish this. Why change a habit of a lifetime?

Re: Money for NHS

RT has frequently been called a propaganda outlet for the Russian government[12][13][14] and its foreign policy[12][14][15][16] by news reporters,[17][18] including former RT reporters.[19][20][21] RT has also been accused of spreading disinformation.[18][22][23][24][25] The United Kingdom media regulator, Ofcom, has repeatedly found RT to have breached rules on impartiality, and of broadcasting "materially misleading" content.[

WIKI

RT news as originally Russia Today. Hardly impartial. Russia is delighted that the UK is leaving the EU.

Cherry picking quotes.

From the same article.The claim
A German magazine has claimed the UK owes the EU €25bn (£21.2bn) in unpaid debts, its share of €200bn owed by all member states to the bloc, and that any Brexit deal will be blocked until London settles up.

Politico is a predominantly American news outlet.
While it BOUGHT a European company that does not mean it is slanted in a pro EU direction.
In fact it has only been in distribution in Europe for 18 months.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politico

Its content is published in Europe and that does not mean it is EU positive. Al Jazeera is published in Qatar but that does no mean it is on favour of all things Arab. It is notoriously balanced in content.
