Tried saying this in here months back. No one wins except government when tariffs are applied. Boris is now saying we can have an Australian style deal, which is basically WTO terms and code for no deal with anyone. At the same time Australia are now trying to get out of theirs after China decided to turn the screw.
If we come out of the single market it will hit the poorest first and food banks will be on the rise. The brexiteer will say we'll produce our own but the reality is most of the farms and small holdings are out of reach of most willing, bought up by wealthy people looking to live out their grand design dream or as a tax haven for their families wealth.
No one can either afford or is prepared for jobs such as fruit picking, we rely so much on imported produce. It's really hard to listen to people arguing that the EU applies standards and it's a bad thing. In reality what it does is it makes markets competitive and allow for easy trade, how can that ever be a bad thing.
The only way to make it work is lower the standard required. But this then has the knock on for UK consumers as anything produced here of a high standard will be shipped to the market that demands it, whilst we have what's left over. The only way to win long term is to raise the standard but anyone who is old enough to remember times where selling fruit and veg was profitable, will also remember why these places dont exist anymore. They simply struggle to produce the quality people expect and it is cheaper to bring that in.
No doubt the car market will get thrown in and German cars etc, but who is going to be worried about buying a car if their food bill is going up. There is no infrastructure to support where they are pushing us, you cant force people living on farms to start farming. They live in a deluded world called London.
