In addition to not being trusted, and maybe more importantly, the UK has a legal obligation to pay the £ 39 billion under international treaty law and could be taken before the ICJ if they refuse. There is also a case for the CJEU possibly (maybe even likely) having temporal jurisdiction since the breach of the treaty is an issue that arose before UK leaves the EU and the CJEU jurisdiction normally would end.

Corbyn is an idiot. Just do what democrats are doing and point out that the opposing party is at fault for the roadblock, instead of refusing to negotiate.
Ugh leftists

This stupid british "us vs them" attitude, when will you people learn. Everyone loses on brexit, noone in the EU is pretending that they're "winning"

Cus them refugees are swimming towards you in hordes amirite? pointless analogy you're making. Your net loss will exceed 39bn
No worries, when they continue to further struggle finding personnel for several key sectors to a nation economy and well being. Going to be a nice experiment when immigrants no longer prefer the UK due to the further bigot and xenophobic nature of the brexit and how it empowers those people.
Seen the struggles in the medical sector? People from East to central Europe no longer taking the UK as their destination combined with an ever ageing population in the west, fun times ahead for them.
Untrained labour is just the tip of the iceberg really, trained labour won't go there either. I reckon regarding english speaking nations Canada will get a a boost. But let's look even deeper into this, What do you think becoming an isolated nation will do to their universities that thrive on foreign students, that gain their prestige in part due to this. While campus live might be a world on its own, it will have an effect.
A brain drain is a realistic scenario as history has taught us undemocratic governments that take a nation hostage and empower bigotry tends to not just prevent people from moving there but also makes people look for greener pastures and haven't looked into it in detail it wouldn't surprise me if companies and countries are going to increasingly ramp up campaigns to attract these individuals.
Cynic in me is thinking that some of these wealthy conservative politicians want this, a dumb population slowly guided back into an era of servitude. With bad work terms, bad work pay, bad contracts, little to no rights, poor access to education and healthcare. In short even further widening the gap and getting rid of any and all intellectuals and middle class. I mean look at this whole debate now, you still have people in this thread who first come across as intelligent and able of individual thought to simply parrot what others say. I say they are well on their way.
No one cares about the bill or if you're "quaking in your boots".
Fact is though, it would be hard for you to get trade agreements when deemed untrustworthy, let alone the kind of "better than EU deals" that you think others will want to give you. It would be nigh impossible if you in addition show that you're not willing to respect the very laws that those deals are governed by or the international institutions that uphold them.
When it starts getting noticeable that you import, for example, 50% of your food and 99% of your insulin, I'm sure you'd enjoy the fact that the only trade deal you managed to get was for a small shipment of oddly shaped rocks.
With Theresa May refusing to commit to the Human Rights Act (which governs freedom of speech, association and religion, workers' rights, the right to a speedy and fair trial and so on) until the UK leaves the jurisdiction of the ECJ, you may not be too far away with that.
You know what really hurts about fanatical remainers compared to tolerant and moderate brexiteers like me? From the latest yougov survey...
Only 9% of Leavers would mind if a relative married a strong Remainer
But 37% of Remainers would mind if a relative married a strong Leaver

I always knew remainers had issues...
