    Brexit Economics - lesson 3 Tariffs and trade barriers

    27 EU countries have now unanimously agreed that negotiations with UK on post Brexit trade agreements start after it has exited

    Brexit: Tensions emerge over UK-EU trade negotiations - BBC News

    Which means of course it will be negotiating from a position in which the UK has no trade agreements whatsoever, and it has to sell everything into the EU on WTO terms.

    Ouch, that's harsh, if true.
    Not a surprise though.
    Proper doom.

      So Tusk and Juncker say we give notice and start negotiations. This woman says we give notice, do nothing for 2 years and then negotiate. A French minister suggests a deal on freedom of movement. Honestly, they don't know their arse from their elbows. Probably a result of needing agreement from 27 countries.

      I suggest we just sit and wait......and wait.....and wait........

                    So what is the big deal with simply trading on WTO terms? The rest of the World does, so why not the UK?
