It’s almost as if no countries actually exist (and thrive) outside of the European Union. Apart from, oh, almost every sodding country in the entire world - including most of the G20. Get a grip.pic.twitter.com/hAT3Qadnoa

Julia, you said, "we're not even allowed to officially discuss potential trade deals outside the EU &etc." Could you possibly show us, that part of the EU constitution, because I can't find it! I only ask, because there seems to have been lot of talks already started!
What do we pay Fox to do? Apart from shite in the woods.
No, that's bears. Bears shite in the wood. Then they wipe their collective arses on the disgraced former Defence Secretary (to use his full title.)
Except this whole article is about the period immediately following a hard brexit. Which means no deals in place then... If KFC end up with shortages just by changing distributors then crashing out of the EU doesn't bare thinking about
Totally agree. Remember the 'Beast from the East' a few months ago? Deliveries to supermarkets in Plymouth were disrupted for a couple of days - some fresh food shelves were empty. It could by end April of next year but not easily resolvable.
Apparently the UK just has to get through seven years of famine, after which things will be hunky-dory because reasons. I'm sure the people who voted for Leave will wait quietly and patiently, having noted that Nigel Farage never said Brexit would make anything better.
Will we able to trade freely with ROW if we leave without a deal? Asking for a patronising remoaners friend.

If you mean, will he have to offer the same terms to 162 nations and have them agree by consensus, then the answer is yes. What’s our leverage from day 1?
If the UK defaults to WTO rules (using copied-and-pasted versions of the EU’s tariffs in the short term), the EU would still have to maintain its side of the border. That would require check goods coming into Ireland from the UK.

Yep that’s a simple fact that so many insipid journalists fail to acknowledge.
Or.....blatantly mislead/misinform their ill informed followers.
That would imply that they’re somehow biased, deliberately divisive, or in the pocket of their paymasters.
Jeez. Her followers tho. In RL she would have nothing to do with the useful idiots.
Allowed? By Mum and Dad? The reason there are no trade deals pending is that no one is prioritising trading with standalone Britain. They would rather trade with blocks like the EU for example!
And what do we trade in after the 30th March 2019, while we are waiting for those hundreds (thousands?) of deals to be signed?
Oh bless? Well that’s not patronising is it?
Please can we put this ‘make individual trade deals with the rest of the world’ lie to bed please?https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_e/fact2_e.htm …
