There’s no opportunities to be had if, in our desperation, we unilaterally have to remove virtually all trade tariffs. It gives us no leverage in future trade deals and harms manufacturers of our goods and services, you know, where the employees pay tax here.
At best guess unilaterally removing tariffs might reduce the cost of many imports by 20%. There’s a much easier way to achieve that by remaining in the EU and the pound returning to pre-referendum levels.
