trade deals

Johnson’s complaint about how US doesn’t allow imports of pork pies shows he hasn’t understood ABC of non-tariff barriers to trade.

We’re currently one of the most powerful members of a gang which protects its members. If we quit EU, bigger powers will tell us what to do.

From aborted China talks to Fox’s failure to rollover deals, consequences of striking out alone in a post-Brexit world are becoming clear.

EU deals with other countries not ready to rollover, tariff headaches if UK crashes out… Brexiter trade fantasy is falling apart.

UK must follow EU’s trade defence rules under backstop, and perhaps new trade deal too. That may thwart deals with other countries.

Government report argues trade with rest of world will partly mitigate damage from quitting EU. In fact, Brexit will harm non-EU trade too.

Environment secretary ignores uncomfortable realities for future funding, access to markets and labour, and green initiatives.

Forget all that guff about Global Britain. PM is now desperate to pretend we’re EU country after Brexit so we don’t lose bloc’s 700 deals.
