Smaller than the EU, but not smaller than Canada. The UK economy is in fact substantially larger than Canada’s. As several of us have repeatedly stated, Brexit always was about regaining sovereign control so as to create opportunities, as well as political accountability for the way those opportunities are pursued.
Failure of trade negotiations with Canada is a political failure of the UK government, not a failure of Brexit. But thanks to Brexit, the present government can be held entirely responsible for that failure at the ballot box. No shuffling of EU commissioners, no rearranging of unwieldy rainbow coalitions in Strasbourg.
