The very fact that trade-weighted sterling fell sharply after the EU referendum in 2016 and, despite recovering from its trough later that year, remains 8% below the levels before the vote in June 2016 speaks to the trade law of gravity.


Except for the fact that Farage successfully become an MEP and not an MP as our electoral system favours a duopoly - once upon a time, Liberals and Conservatives, now Labour and Conservatives.


Our international credibility is patchy - weaker in terms of our relationship with our near neighbours and largest trading bloc but stronger with regard to our efforts in Ukraine and parts of the Commonwealth.
And the EU hated him for that.
