'Barnier is crumbling' Brexiteer predicts Davis' tactics will cause huge internal EU brawl

But, while Mr Bennett said there will be a payment eventually, he added that David Davis’ refusal to oblige Mr Barnier has already had success. 

He explained: “The narrative is changing. Just this week, the UK has pointed out that the EU itself is stopping the talks moving forward.

“Barnier admitted his hands are tied by EU guidelines. So, if Britain holds out long enough on the Brexit bill, then the EU member states will take a look at our proposals.

“They will grow impatient and start asking Barnier, why aren’t you talking about these proposals?

“Why are you so desperate to get this money when there are issues that people on both sides want to talk about.

Mr Bennett added: “He is crumbling as we speak.

“This is the UK’s strategy by holding out on this, they could force the EU to give in.

“The EU knows it is on weak ground with the bill. We know we have obligations, but there is no need to give in a t this stage.”
