I am saying that one of the arguments to the added friction we'll have when trading with the EU post-Brexit is that we'll make up for it with trade deals elsewhere. The Bombardier case is an example that this will be hard and it's not an ideal environment to do so.
Anyway looks like the figures we had for how much we trade outside of the EU might have been overestimated:
