Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
The EU are not in a good bargaining place. We have a trading deficit with them, and a trading surplus with the rest of the world. We export more outside EU than in and the gap is widening. Loss of our contribution will leave a huge hole in their economy. Tarifs will hurt them more than us.
Both sides would benefit from free trade, but it is not worth ?90b to us. That would be a bad deal and much worse than no deal.
