Re: Brexit

Some talk in Brussels, obviously conjecture, that extending Article 50 by two years and sorting out the final deal in that time would solve the problems since it would mean no backstop.

I think that might be what he is saying? That the only reason to do a trade deal is so you can have the lower tariffs to yourself whereas you're right WTO would mean it's all level. Not sure how much of an incentive that would be though.
