      How much is it going to add to the UK economy by resolving the issues around trade barriers between us and the EU marketplace?

      Some people really need to climb out of the foxhole occasionally.
      Blog? What blog...?

        Because that will make it all worthwhile!

          How much will it add?

          Well that will be up to the UK population, through their individual actions and the actions of their elected representatives, as to how future opportunities are exploited. Nothing is guaranteed. Either positive or negative.

          As I said in an earlier post, I voted Remain, but I am optimistic about the future.

          One of the greatest benefits will be that the HMG will no longer be able to hide behind the excuse of "The EU won't let us do it" after March 2019.

            The report referenced was principally looking backwards at losses to the economy to date.

            Obviously the future is the economic sunny uplands, where British tea, jam and biscuits will be at the heart of Britain's Brexit trade plans.

              How long would it take to resolve those issues? Took 10 years for Canada and it isn't as near as good as the single market.

                  No but they do have:

                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    No of course it won't be the UK's fault.

                    It will be Jonny-Foreigners.
