How unbiased is this summary do you reckon?
Judging by the snippet you quoted ... Not very.

Quoting the size of the EU membership and using words like "hit" seems to be intended to emphasise difficulty.

I wonder whether the Beeb will also point out that the 27 remaining members of the EU would each also have very good reasons not to want to be "hit" with tariffs as they try to sell into the highly lucrative UK market ...
