I want a good deal, as that’s what’s best for our country,
We have the leverage. The EU export more to us than we do to them - it is in their interests, as well as ours, to get a good deal. The time limit will concentrate minds.

We already meet all the standards and specifications required for trading with the EU, so 12 months is certainly do-able and I see no reason why we should not get an acceptable outcome.

We need to get a lot more positive about this and stop keep assuming the worst.
