EU wants ‘Farage clause’ in Brexit ‘reset’ talks with UK

Move would mean Brussels would receive compensation if future government reneged on deal Starmer is negotiating

The EU is reportedly demanding guarantees the UK will compensate the bloc if a future government reneges on the Brexit reset" agreement Keir Starmer is currently negotiating.

The termination clause is a stark reminder of the painful and costly divorce in which the EU set up a colossal 5.4bn (4.7bn) fund to help its member states cope with the disruption caused by the UK's exit in 2020.
