Boris Johnson has accused the European Union of proposing "extortionate" Brexit bill demands.

The Foreign Secretary hit out over the €100 billion (£87.7 billion) some European Union figures want the UK to pay before leaving.

He also suggested that the Government had not set out detailed plans for a "no deal" Brexit because the UK will get a "great deal".

Questioned in the House of Commons on whether Brussels should be told to "go whistle", Mr Johnson replied: "I think that the sums that I have seen ... seem to me to be extortionate and I think 'go whistle' is an entirely appropriate expression."

It comes after The Telegraph revealed Downing Street has told business leaders that Theresa May could storm out of Brexit talks over the “divorce bill”.
