What I have suggested is that the new trade deals and other measures such as free ports will transform our economy. I have always said that you cannot forecast with any degree of accuracy how much extra income we will get from all this. However, to twist that into postulating that we don't know whether we will benefit at all is a bit of a stretch, even by your standards.
The mere fact that we are presenting new opportunities of this kind to business is known to lead to a positive response. Just like reducing high taxation leads to more yield for the Inland Revenue. It is a known known.
Although some cannot seem to grasp the concept.

This all comes back to the age old problem of there being no explicit narrative as to what 'leave' means.
A clear definition allows a clear vote.
This is MP's not knowing and being unable to agree as to what 'leave' means. However I will grant you that there are a proportion of MP's who will do anything to remain in the EU. Just as there are a proportion of MP"s who will do anything to ensure we have a 'Hard' Brexit.
Lets not forget if it were not for the ERG we would have been out by now.....

What? Just in case of doubt, this comes from the Collins English dictionary:
‘
If you leave an institution, group, or job, you permanently stop attending that institution, being a member of that group, or doing that job.’
Can’t get much clearer than that, old chap.
