PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT A FULL TRANSCRIPT!!
Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron have differing views on the £39 billion the EU had decided that the UK owes it for leaving.
Boris Johnson wants to use it as leverage to get a better deal and retain it in a no deal Brexit scenario, while the French President wants the EU to get its hands on the dosh as soon as possible.
Former Foreign Secretary and the front-runner to replace Theresa May in Number Ten, Boris Johnson, told the Sunday Times that, if he became PM, then the £39 billion so-called Brexit divorce bill money would be withheld, saying:
"I think our friends and partners need to understand that the money is going to be retained until such time as we have greater clarity about the way forward.
"I always thought it was extraordinary that we should agree to write that entire cheque before having a final deal. In getting a good deal, money is a great solvent and a great lubricant."
But Macron has warned that there will be 'consequences' for the UK if it does not just hand the cash over.
According to the Express, a source close to the French Presidents said:
"Not honouring your payment obligations is a failure of international commitments equivalent to a sovereign debt default, whose consequences are well known."
So, it seems that Macron is viewing this potential non-repayment of a debt owed, or not sticking to a debt repayment sched..
