Brexiters say quitting EU will help us be a global player. We have more influence by virtue of our EU membership. Quitting means less power.

Trade secretary is wasting time chasing phantoms. He should focus on humdrum task of making sure we don’t lose deals we already have.

It fuels jingoism, racism and war, whereas what we need is to work with others. That’s why EU was set up. More’s the pity we’re quitting.

Brexiters said new deals with rest of world would outweigh loss of trade to EU. We’ll actually lose ground in other countries too.

Self-inflicted damage is already widespread in the UK even before Brexit negotiations start.

Theresa May says she’s a firm advocate of free trade. Her actions speak louder than her words.

Brexiteers' promises of more Commonwealth migration if we leave the EU are little more than fantasy tinged by nostalgia for Empire.

The prospects of cutting deals with everywhere from China to US and India to Brazil are worse if we quit.
