  15. Reality Check: the £39bn divorce billpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time 9 July 2019

    Reality Check

    Mr Johnson tells the TV audience that if the UK leaves with no deal, it will have £39bn to spend, "which would be very helpful in lubricating the consequences of a no-deal Brexit".

    The UK has agreed to pay the EU a settlement - widely estimated as £39bn - as it leaves. The so-called "divorce bill".

    Not paying the bill would not necessarily be illegal - although it would be open to legal challenge. But it would risk souring relations when it comes to future trade.

    The EU has said it will not open talks on the future relationship until the agreement over the money has been settled.

  16. Spat about GATTpublished at 20:29 British Summer Time 9 July 2019

    Reality Check

    Boris Johnson has said a number of times that a previously obscure piece of trade law could allow the UK to continue to trade with the EU without tariffs in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

    Article 24 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) can be used to keep things the same for up to 10 years, while two sides negotiate a permanent future trade agreement.

    But a trade agreement has to be agreed in principle before it can be used - that means both sides need to agree. In effect, for it to work, there would have to be some kind of deal.

    Reality Check

    Boris Johnson says he will "solve the problems of the Irish border where they properly belong, in the context of the free trade agreement, that we will do after we come out on 31 October".

    The EU has so far insisted it won't agree a withdrawal deal without an arrangement for the Irish border.

    And it's said in the context of a no-deal Brexit, it will not begin discussing a future trade deal until the issue of the Irish border is settled.
