No social chapter stuff from the EU, only regulations would relate to products, control of immigration, no EU budget contributions or closer integration. Can we really get enough trade deals to match what we can get with the EU?

em who got biggest trade deal in world usa no china no it the EU

Re: Brexit (New).
 

The EU is massive and is right on our door step making it easier to trade goods with them, you see EU lorries on our roads all the time, even if we got a deal with America it would be hard to reach that level of trade with anyone else.

Re: Brexit (New).
 

The point is to maintain our level of trade with the EU whilst looking to new markets.

Re: Brexit (New).
 

Well maintaining our level with trade with the EU is going to be a hell of an ask if we're having a more distant relationship, right now it's the same economic bloc we're in. We are very unlikely to replicate the same level outside of it.

Re: Brexit (New).
 

I know but people carry on like were not going to trade with the EU, of course we are. Will it be the same level, maybe, maybe not, maybe more. But we will still trade in massive volumes, they’ll still be our closest trading partner. But we wont be tied to it. Staying in a CU would be pointless and not very forward thinking. If we tie ourselves into a CU we might as well stay in the EU

Re: Brexit (New).
 

Yes we'll trade with the EU but the access and amount will be the key question. None of us on here are able to give precise numbers on what'll happen but the key to being in the Customs Union or not is essentially if that's more profitable to us than being outside of it but doing our own trade deals.

In the end we won't know for a good while, years, what would have been best from that point of view. The UK has been one of the biggest economies on the world and we'll have to see if we can continue to keep track with the major European economies or if we drift downwards over time.

I’d welcome if the forum moderators dealt with improving the quality of information available to the same degree they endorsed the dunce hat. :dunce:

Just when you thought Brexit couldn’t get any stranger, Uri Geller (anyone remember Mr SpoonBender) enters the fray...

Re: Brexit (New).
 

Crikey, looks like Uri is set to save us from both Jeremy Corbyn and Brexit!

Arrests on the roads in Cornwall for trying to disrupt motorways. Here comes the crackdown.

Re: Brexit (New).
 

America is already our biggest single trading partner, what exactly will we be selling them post leaving?

He sure is a powerful tool, sorry wouldn't want that misinterpreted, I mean his mind is a powerful tool
