Cling to your percentages if it makes you feel better.
The basic facts of the trade balance are that the UK buys more from the 27 than the other way round.

Do you have a link to this unbiased news please?

Yeah, it's called the internet.

48% of UK exports

I'll humour you for a while.

What are these exports? Goods, services?
What do the EU importers then do with these goods services? Are they sold on, included within other products/services, used under licence, used because there are no other suppliers?

What would the importers do if their supply was cut. Could they cope, what would the business cost be?

Now these are largely rhetorical questions because if there are importers of 48% of our exports, then presumably there are reasons why they are importing from us and nowhere else. Therefore the impact if that were to change (if it even could, think patented goods) then no commercial enterprise wants that. That's basic economic sense. That means it becomes a negotiating issue. A jobs and business issue, a criteria for a negotiated agreement.

That's how negotiations work.

Your inference that just because the UK exports "x"% it has more to lose, is flawed logic. It lacks a basic grasp of economics.

Perhaps they are buying from us because we are in the single market and it is cheap and simple, since we conform to the same standards, with no tariff or non-tariff barriers to cause costs and delays, so we are just as good as any other supplier in the single market.

Just as good as.

Does not mean "only" or "best"

Buffoon has instructed his underling to inform the EU that UK does not intend to commit to following the same standards.

Some EU leaders feel that if UK will not agree to maintain a level playing field, and might, for example, provide state subsidies to steelworks, or slacken regulatory control over investment banks, or allow chlorine chicken into the meat pie market, then the EU should not allow such steel or banks or pies to trade within the Single Market. Who can blame them?

Nosey's not altering quotes again is he?

MOD: No, not that I'm aware of.

What do you mean 'again'?
I'm not sure why the mod attached that note to my post? I quoted mottie verbatim.

Anyhoo mottie, you still have not honoured that request....

you are still on here carping on, looking for bad news and praying for failure

show me these posts of mine please mottie.

 

[noseall]

Yeah, it's called the internet.

Thats a no then Woods.

 

[noseall]

Bingo!

All about to change come 2021.

 

[noseall]

Just wondered why you had to fix the quote then?

I am too? I've sent the mod a query.

Trade negotiations work purely on reciprocity, which means mostly power

Weve now handed control back to EU
UK gdp $2.85trillion EU$16trillion

EU is 5X bigger
