That just shows how great the opportunity Is to increase exports to other countries, once freed from the shackles of EUSSR red tape.

If you add all those non-EU country exports together there is more of them than to the EU and the non-EU share has been growing.

So what you're saying is, the non-EU exports have been growing whilst we are still in the EU? Pray explain then fella, why we need to leave the EU? Surely staying in the EU we get to keep the exports to the EU, and we can grow non-EU exports .... win-win How exactly are the EU holding us back?

If pointing out a fact or two equates to 'stamping angry feet' to you, have more problems than Brexit.

Your abject ****wittery being one.

"44% of UK exports in goods and services went to other countries in the EU in 2017" that leaves 100-44% of
exports to non-EU countries.

In case you are having problems with that it's 56% non-EU exports.

Well the EU has a "common external tariff" which prevents us cutting our export costs by forcing us to pay more for imports.

Which UK produced goods is the rest of the world so desperately waiting for that they can import them at much lower tariffs and will make leaving the EU so much better for the UK economy?
