    Tory Brexit No Deal DOOM™: red tape

    Europe will reject UK trade deal if Britain cuts EU red tape after Brexit, warns Michel Barnier

    The European Union will reject any future free trade agreement with Britain if it slashes EU regulation and red tape after Brexit, Michel Barnier said today as Peter Mandelson warned against turning the UK into a "satellite of the USA".

    The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator said any British efforts to lure investment away from the bloc by undercutting European regulation on tax, environment, food safety and other issues would force it to scupper any trade deal.

    Despite British assurances that the UK will continue to observe high standards after the split, Brussels fears Brexit will be used to turn Britain into a low-regulation tax haven in a “race to the bottom”.

    Excellent piece of doom. It is now increasingly clear that the UK government is very deep in the poo. As an FT journalist said, the choice is between total humiliation, complete humiliation or abject humiliation.

    I'm alright Jack
