I don't think you understand how massively positive our balance of payments on services is with the EU.
You know, that same argument that keeps being used to claim the EU will be falling over themselves to have a free trade agreement over goods.
A large part of our services exported to the EU are financial ones. Even without tariffs there are barriers.
Passporting is a very, very big deal. We have extremely privileged access to the Eurozone's financial services markets.

Yes. Why would you maintain manufacturing in a country that's pretty expensive to manufacture in anyway, along with having the products it produces be more expensive due to import tariffs when you can simply move the production to Eastern Europe, pay less to manufacture and pay no import tariffs?
