BRITAIN could face a £750million-a-week bill if it rejoins the EU, a campaign group warns.
Stay Out made the claim at its launch yesterday — days before heads to a summit aimed at tearing down post-Brexit trade barriers.
It comes after the in his lifetime and promised to set out options for the country’s future relationship with Europe.
Stay Out campaigners claim taxpayers would have to stump up £39.3billion a year in membership contributions — more than double the gross amount paid in 2016.
The group brings together veterans of the original Vote Leave campaign with former deputy chief negotiator Oliver Lewis at the helm and backing from .
Mr Lewis warned: “The EU that Britain would be rejoining is more indebted, divided and expensive than the one we left.
“It would cost us £750million a week, with no rebate.”
The group blames the eye-watering bill on Brussels’ ballooning budget and mounting debts.
Its calculations are based on proposed EU funding arrangements for 2028.
Lord Gove also warned rejoining would mean “handing back control of our laws, borders, and trade” and another decade of Brexit rows.
He said: “Reopening this question would just commit the country to another decade of fractious negotiations and a return to the divisions we have spent years putting behind us.”
Mr Burnham yesterday insisted would boost Britain’s economy and could be “more like the Brexit that people thought they were voting for in 2016”.
He had promised to set out the “next steps” for Britain’s relationship with the bloc after the summit in Brussels on Friday but the announcement is now in doubt as ministers clash over how far to go.
