It may not be sufficient. You are simply assuming as such because it suits your ludicrous contention that Government can continue unaffected by Coronavirus.



Without knowing what the tariffs are and quantity of goods moving in each direction post Coronavirus it’s simply impossible for you to offer anything other than speculation as to who would lose out more by imposing tariffs. Again, your simplistic analysis ignores the associated supply chains - further goods and services, further people in employment and further tax revenues for Government. It’s not as straightforward as where the trade deficit lies.
Ahem! Who's speculating, exactly? The government still says it wants a deal by the end of the year. You are speculating when you say it's not long enough. My 'crossing the road' quip was drawing attention to the big deal you make of everything and then claim it can't be done. You have form on this where the EU is concerned. Look over all your negative Brexit poxts! Were you ever right?
