Independent Factchecking sources disagree with you and their analysis is fortunately not based on how many times we post on forums.

More importantly, whilst every UK household pays £317 to the EU, Brexit is set to cost each household a reported £4,200. (I think that figure explains why the Government is aiming for a two-year standstill period and why the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy wants a five-year period.)

However, if the Brexit press is to be believed, the Coalition of Chaos continues to lurch from division to division.
The Sunday Telegraph is reporting that Boris is demanding no new EU rules after 2019 which will cause a cabinet split. His demand puts him on a collision course with the Treasury, which wants a “status quo” transition.
The Mail on Sunday says that the truce between Philip Hammond and Boris Johnson has ended with Philip Hammond annoyed that Boris's team people claim that Boris blocked a five-year Brexit transition. According to the paper, the feud between the two is beginning to look like a fight to the political death.
The Sunday Times is reporting that four of Theresa May's senior ministers had made plans to replace her after the general election. Boris Johnson, Philip Hammond, David Davis and Amber Rudd were embroiled in leadership plots after she surrendered the Tory majority.
