Boris Johnson says the UK would have an extra £39bn in the event of no deal
Reality Check
Boris Johnson, speaking on the steps of Downing Street, declared that in the event of a no-deal Brexit the UK “will have that extra lubrication of the £39bn”.
The prime minister is referring to the estimated sum the UK has agreed to pay the EU to settle all of its obligations.
The settlement formed part of Theresa May’s Brexit deal – known as the Withdrawal Agreement.
After a no-deal Brexit, the UK will no longer be bound by the European Court of Justice – so in theory it could hold on to the money.
However, there could still be some legal ramifications – although no one is quite sure what would happen. The Institute for Government thinktank, for example, says refusing to pay could land the UK in the International Court of Justice in the Hague.
But even if there were no legal consequences, the EU has said it won't start negotiating a free trade deal until a number of issues, including the money, are sorted first.
