Ah, the usual Friday off-piste rant.I'm afraid Jason in his to rise in the ranks of his lord and masters the Tory Party has lost all grip on reality and regurgitates a constant flow of BS to try and justify the Tory line.
Everyone knows that the EU is by far our biggest trade partner and we will suffer if we lose that trade.
I notice that Jason never reacts to the fact that Foxy Fox promised to set up over 40 trade deals by March 31st but has so far only arranged around 7 !!
If Jason was objective he would surely be shocked by that fact, but oh no - he does "the ostrich" instead. Don't worry Jason : I don't think the Tory hierarchy read Exeweb!
And see - someone IS saying we'd "lose the trade" with the EU.
The trade deals thing is related to the UK leaving on March 29th without a deal, but aside from mutual recognition deals with several major nations, Fox *did* fall short, I accept this. The reasons are, I presume, multiple but I don't know what they are without digging more deeply into it. Presumably there's long been an assumption we will do a deal, which buys us more time.
