The WTO does not prevent countries from applying no tariff to a commodity.
That is a fact.

Tariffs are import taxes. We do not tax food in this country. That is why I am confident we would not apply tariffs to say rice and bananas as we have to now.
That has also been a central plank of the Leave case.

Our elected government can now choose which products require tariffs.

David said, " It is the loss of imports from the EU which worries me far more than the loss of exports. "

He was totally wrong to claim there is any danger of EU withholding goods from us.

Who to believe, real economists or Keith? Its a hard one.
You are the one making false claims Dave.
