Re: Brexit

Trade deals are an interesting question. If, for example, we zero tariffed a whole load of stuff under WTO rules, countries that can offer stuff at a better price and quality that the generic definition of particular stuff might only want to sign a trade deal if other countries are put at a disadvantage. Wine comes to mind whereby in the absence of a trade deal with the EU would disadvantage them against those wine countries who have a deal with us.


Is Fox the right man to horse trade this sort of stuff? I can think of very few MPs who have the skills.
