"There is... no free-trade area.

The single market is designed for French agriculture and German manufactured goods, not our service led economy...

Most small exporters will recognise the ways in which our EU partners invent technical barriers to protect their producers while our government seems powerless."

- John Longworth - former director-general of the British Chambers of Commerce in The Times

Apparently Labour have made a leave film I haven't looked for it yet
Labour Leave has defied Jeremy Corbyn and other members of the leadership who have tried to close down debate in Labour by giving party supporters the true picture of how the “undemocratic” EU is suppressing wages and handing power to big corporations.
The movie was a humiliating blow to former Prime Minister Gordon Brown who led the latest attempts to scare party supporters into backing Remain.
Mr Brown signed the Lisbon Treaty in 2007 which gave away many of Britain’s freedoms and committed the country to an EU Army.

Yes, I know it's another referendum thread, but I can't help that.

I came across it by chance. I don't usually think to read the Guardian.
