      I heard Rees-Mogg going on about the EU's tariffs on clothing so I compared with the US, and guess what, the US had higher tariffs generally on textiles.

      As an example the Japanese have invested heavily in the EU and now make up a significant part of the Auto market.

      When a British long distance lorry driver spends 30 hours a week in customs trying to get in the EU he won't have much option but to sit out and earn significantly less, because he won't be able to hop on ferry to drive it to China, and that is just one example. Huge numbers of businesses will simply suffer when the UK raises its protectionist barriers.
      I think we have to play to your strengths. Our strengths are in our brand, world wide reputation for excellence and quality despite what we tell ourselves sometimes. So we would sell premium products and services. You can't compete with low cost countries selling stuff that can be produced anywhere.

      If a lottery driver spends 30 hours in customs then the EU is going to have a heck of a problem. Because Europe makes a boat load of cash from us. It's in their interest to keep that going.

          A rare display of self-awareness from a Brexiter.
