But one issue that prevents the UK getting an amazing trade deal is that the trade agreements it has with third countries like Canada do not allow this. And WTO rules bring certain constraints too that no amount of wishful thinking can change. Nor is any other member state about to leave any day now.
My God, Andrew, you sound as if you need a good strong dose of anti-depressants. Gloom, gloom and even more gloom.

Has it escaped you that the EU exports rather more to us than we do to the EU?

We will get a tariff free trade deal and the border issues will be settled. We can debate the detail to the nth degree, but it is up to the two sides to come up with the best solution for both. We will just have to wait and see what that will be, but a solution to this will be found. This is not the impossible challenge you make it out to be.
