That would be based on the Canada model that some people are advocating. As I mentioned in an earlier post (before George Osbourne) that would be because under this model we would not be able to trade services with EU.
If this is wrong, please tell me why - rather than just saying he is talking rubbish please explain why this is.

You are correct here but if we stay in, what would GDP be in 2030? The leave campaign should ask him that. See fact check BBC they have dismissed it as wrong.

We do not want a Canadian, Swiss or Norwegian type of deal, we want our own deal. If we have to use one of those in the meantime, Canada is not the one to use.

They mentioned nothing about the possibilities of the other 2 scenarios of Swiss and Norwegian style deals.
