That's only Boris's 350 million a week, including the rebates and discount, that we can add together to make it worthwhile!
Why do you keep wrongly stating we send £350 million a week to the EU. We don't!

And with the big hit we will take on GDP on leaving, the economy will contract so who knows what the final position could be. We won't suddenly be £18 billion better off. Especially if we have to cough up for EU trading rights as other 'non EU' nations do. But without any influence of course.
