Great posts, Ovacikpeedoff. You should read them, Highlander, they’re intelligent and accurate, as are Villains.
All I would add is how long do we think Nissan and Toyota are going to carry on in the U.K. when their supply chains are unreliable and intermittent, and huge amounts of new paperwork is going to be needed.
Ditto Vauxhall.
We have just completed a trade deal with Singapore; it took eight years to complete.
Mrs May has refused to rule out the NHS being included in any American trade deal. It would be beyond foolish to believe that America would do special deals with us because of our traditional alliances; as far as I can see, the relationship has consisted of America asking us to jump, and us asking ‘how high? Trump wants to MAGA and is being very protectionist; any deal would, I am sure, be very much in America’s favour.
It has to be said also that in the unlikely event Mrs May does cobble an agreement together, it will have to be signed off by all the other member states, who have a right of veto, and by our Parliament, who are irrevocably divided on both sides.
