The presenter talked with Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, and Henry Newman from Open Europe, over the cost of Britain leavingtheEuropean Union.

Speaking on Sunday Politics, the host claimed Theresa May would find it very difficult in the future if she is forced to pay a 30billion bill to the EU.

Mr Grant suggested Brussels is expecting a figure up to the amount of 60bn before admitting it could be considerably lower.

However, host Neil exploded over the huge amounts of money that Britain could be forced to pay as a result of Brexit.

He said: Am I missing something here? If she ends up settling for a bill of about 30billion, which I think would be politically, no matter how popular she is, politically very difficult for her.

It does kill any idea that there is a Brexit dividend for Britain.

Mr Grant explained how this issue could potentially crash Brexit talks and leave the UK in a very dangerous position.

He said: Well some of what some of the senior officials in London and also Brussels are very worried that this particular issue could crash the whole talks.

If Article 50 ended in two years, no deal, what contract law applies, can aeroplanes take off from Heathrow? Nobody knows what legal rights you have if youre an EU citizen living in Britain or visa-versa.

The director added that Brussels believes this puts the EU in a very strong position as the UK prepares to leave.

He added: If there is no deal at the end of two years then we crash out, disastrous for the British economy, bad for the European economy.

Therefore they think they have all the cards to play. And they are very worried that if it is mishandled domestically in Britain then we will have a crash.

The host was left furious over the potential issues that could come if the Prime Minister does not secure a good deal with the European Union.

He finished: We will wait a long time for that 350million a week or whatever it was that was meant to come from Brussels to spend on the NHS, thats not going to happen for the next five, six, seven years.
