Previously on "Germany warns the City over Brexit risk"
In all these months since the referendum, I've yet to find a Brexiter who can explain how they expect Britian to thrive in the world following a likely big hit in (mainly services) trade with her biggest trading partner
By avoiding the "likely big hit" when negotiating. A "likely big hit" which would be bad news for both parties.
Another unicorn moment. They're feckin swarming today.
In all these months since the referendum, I've yet to find a Brexiter who can explain how they expect Britian to thrive in the world following a likely big hit in (mainly services) trade with her biggest trading partner (trade worth 600 billion) given low productivity, poor educational skills for all but the top 10%, large twin deficits, large debt to GDP ratio (91% and rising), too-small manufacturing sector (not a single volume British consumer goods manufacturer).
