Yes we'll trade with the EU but the access and amount will be the key question. None of us on here are able to give precise numbers on what'll happen but the key to being in the Customs Union or not is essentially if that's more profitable to us than being outside of it but doing our own trade deals.
In the end we won't know for a good while, years, what would have been best from that point of view. The UK has been one of the biggest economies on the world and we'll have to see if we can continue to keep track with the major European economies or if we drift downwards over time.
