The fact is that our trade with the EU is vastly more important right now to our economy than our trade with the US. It will remain so indefinitely. Imports five times greater, exports two and a half times greater. So those people who laud the idea of a no-deal brexit, then in the next breath tell us what a great deal we can do with the US, are, frankly, verging on the insane. The best thing by a country mile for this country is to have the best deal possible with the EU. That means being in the single market and customs union. We will still trade with the US in goods they want from us and that we want from them, just as we do now. What this country can't afford is a far more difficult trading environment with easily our biggest trading partner for the foreseeable future, which brexit will ensure. Ditching a good arrangement with our best and closest trading partner in return for a doubtful deal, if any at all, with a much smaller player in trading terms, forcing a drop in our standards while we're at it, is just madness. Drop the crowing, brexiteering hubris, have a good think about that and get real.
