he explains it very well- and I do hope all who say 'No Deal and WTO and a bright future' will watch and listen.

It would put us at the same level as Afghanistan

Varian and annodomini you are both right. We are too polite with these lazy comments.

I do not feel the need to do further research because, from what I have learned, he is right. If you feel he has got something wrong Joelsnan you need to be both explicit and put the counter argument. I'm afraid I have long since stopped seeing answers such as yours as either clever or informative.

I will take no proper answer to what he says as proof that you just don't know but would risk out futures regardless.

Pascal Lamy, former head of the WTO, explains what the UK's position would be post Brexit. This clip, being as it is from before the 2016 referendum, doesn't assume a UK working on WTO terms only, because before the ref. no-one was suggesting that we did anything so stupid as leave with no deal at all and trade solely on WTO.

GG3 unfortunately I agree with you. I cannot get answers from leavers here or on Twitter, just soundbites. The nearest I have is this: twitter.com/itsVinodPrakash/status/1135751179823177728/photo/1

Wow, a masterclass in ignoring evidence laid bare in the last few posts. None of you know if I am a leaver or remainer, you assume this from questions and answers I post. Whether these reflect my true opinion is my gift and I have not given it.
Secondly you have evidently not read or understood the content of my previous posts. Afghanistan and waste buckets are no way representative. Read the reality.

Brexit: Rory Stewart says new deal claims 'misleading'

I wish more politicians, on all sides, would drop the buzzwords and argue as honestly as he does Varian.

Surely no deal means that the EU would not be able to sell to us?

billie they can still trade but on WTO rules. They will in turn treat us as a third country and all our goods will have to go through their customs.
