The Evening Standard today has a robust article from Grant Lewis on Brexit trade lies.

Brexiteers like to tell us all that they are free traders. But, as with just about everything else in the echo chamber they’ve built for themselves, the claim fails to stand up to even the most cursory scrutiny.
As the UK attempts to find a second-rate substitute for a trade relationship with 500 million people right on our doorstep, in the second stage of the Brexit negotiations, you’re likely to hear a lot of nonsense from the Outers on the subject. These are the biggest whoppers to watch out for:
1. The European Union is a “protectionist cartel”..
2. FTAs deliver free trade..
3. We need new FTAs to trade with the world..
4. Free movement of labour is not required for free trade..
5. You don’t need a common legal framework to have free trade..
6. Distance no longer matters..
7. FTAs can make up for what we lose on leaving the EU..
