Exactly, and the UK is not going to be bounced into accepting a bad deal either.

Without a 'no tariffs' deal, there will be major economic disadvantages for certain EU industries such as car manufacturing because tariffs will put up the price of exported goods to this country, rendering them less competitive. The EU does not hold all the cards, not by a long chalk.
