Steve,
We will have to carry on trading in EU food for decades. With tariffs. Some of which are bloody stiff.

Do you not understand that WE choose what items we apply tariffs to, We choose how "stiff" they are, and the money goes into OUR treasury anyway.

There are special cases like sheepmeat where we need to protect our hill farmers, but we do do need to impose any tariffs on food and no-one has suggested that we will.
