The U.K. has repeatedly stated that it only wants a standard FTA. I presume that if you change rules you’ll look at all deals you have and their access?

Also, I’ve said this before, you don’t have standards as high as we do now! So will you “level up”?

Also the arrogance “sovereign if you will” yes, we will be an independent sovereign nation, that’s nothing to be ashamed of, and if the U.K. sets up trade in the commonwealth, no, you won’t be the largest market.

Why are the EU so scared when they are meant to have all the...

...advantages of the magical “Single Market”? They shouldn’t be this worried! After all, we want a simple FTA, and that should be (as Tusk said) punishment enough. Why are they panicking now. Could it be as EU companies leave for the U.K.?
