Claim: An extension to Brexit would cost the UK £1 billion a month
Fact-check: Would an extension to Brexit cost £1 billion a month? - Full Fact
Verdict: this is only compared to a no deal exit in which the uk refuses to pay the "divorce bill", and it doesn't include payments back from the eu to the uk. if we leave with a deal, any extension up to the end of 2020 will not cost us extra, as the agreed financial settlement already includes these payments.
