Well, of course, it will be one or the other. The EU must choose. What other options are there that do not betray the wishes of the British electorate?

The reason we are in this position is because they sent Cameron, with his modest proposals, back to Britain with a thick ear. I think that was the point at which the tide turned as far as public opinion was concerned.

Now they can choose whether to have a friendly, co-operative arrangement with us, which most of us would prefer, or whether they want an aggressive competitor. They can only blame themselves if they make another wrong call.

Incidentally, with the WTO deal there will be some disruption for a while, but we will end up better off.
