Countries negotiating trade deals with us want to know what trade deal we have with the EU before they negotiate trade deals with us. That's the biggest stumbling block, not anything the EU can tell us to do or not tell us to do. The Government is aware of this.

"Nobody with any sense from China, the U.S., Brazil or wherever is going to engage with the UK other than a friendly drink in the bar until the UK has a regime with the EU," retired British trade negotiator Roderick Abbott told Reuters.

"That gives them the yardstick against which you negotiate," said Abbott, who during his more than 40-year career worked on trade for the British government, the European Commission and the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

3. May and her team strike an optimistic tone, highlighting nations which have said they are keen to do deals. But behind the scenes, countries are pragmatic.

A senior diplomat from a developed country with which Britain has suggested negotiating a deal said the EU was a more important partner, so any deal with Britain would depend on how it affected his country's trade with the EU.

"They want to talk to us. We're always happy to talk trade. But frankly there isn't much we can seriously talk about in detail, which is really what trade deals are all about, until we know what their relationship will be with the EU," he said, on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the subject.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

So far:
  • There will be a vote on the agreemeent
  • We will leave single market
  • A new deal might retain some elements of the single market, maybe including contributions
  • Leaving Customs Union - kind of. Not clear.
  • Staying in the common travel area 'a priority'
  • Government implementing price controls on Freddo bars to keep them at 10p

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

Margaret Thatcher's speech on the single market, 1988

"It's your job, the job of business, to gear yourselves up to take the opportunities which a single market of nearly 320 million people will offer.

Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers—visible or invisible—giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the world's wealthiest and most prosperous people.

Bigger than Japan. Bigger than the United States. On your doorstep. And with the Channel Tunnel to give you direct access to it.

It's not a dream. It's not a vision. It's not some bureaucrat's plan. It's for real."

Your "FACT" ends up being based on nothing more than opinion.

Try again to find it factually. It should keep you occupied for a long time.
