So who do you want a trade deal with?
We hear so much about how UK will be free to trade deals but I am not sure what amazing new markets the UK is going to find.
Also much talk of exit with NO Deal and trading on WTO terms, this appears to be much less straight forward than we have been led to believe - our Schedule has already been contested by a number of countries and it is not all clear to what extent we can roll over the 60 to 100 existing trade deals the EU already has.
Well, the UK is a former GATT signatory and thus is entitled to founder membership, so that rolls over past any EU issues.
And if we default or refuse to pay our divorce settlement to the EU, as these are international treaty obligations we have committed to, dealing with other nations will be even harder as we will be seem as untrustworthy.
The damage will be to Europe, starting with EU projects lacking finance (as well as port congestion) and spreading out in concentric circles. The EU cannot hurt Britain without hurting itself.
