Nonsense. We already do the majority of our global trade without a trade agreement, and it's fine. Adding the EU to the "no deal" group would be an inconvenience at most.

And yet no deal is still better than a deal that, for example, gave us no trade deal and no rights to UK citizens in the Eu, but cost us £100bn and where we gave unreciprocated rights to Eu citizens.

Once again: the negotiations aren't about getting a trade deal. That will follow the Brexit deal.

EU citizens in the UK benefit the UK more than citizens in the EU do, so paradoxically it's much more important to the UK's wellbeing to protect EU citizens in the UK than it is to protect UK citizens in the EU. But, in any case, the issues you mention are not the ones that a "no deal" outcome matters most on. It's the boring minutiae of things like customs arrangements, flight routes, membership of international organisations, regulation of medicines, and so forth that are the real threat of a "no deal" Brexit.

Is that true including trade within the EU single market? Genuine question.

Yes. About 45% of our trade is with the EU, 55% outside the EU, and the overall trend has been towards increasing the percentage of trade outside the EU.

What's the difference? What do you think the Brexit deal is, if it's not about trade relations?
 
He's pointing out that the negotiations will initially deal with the exit of the UK from the EU not future trade relations. (though future trade relations will start before the exit negotiations have concluded so long as sufficient progress is made)
 
Kristy Adams looks like a cracking Conservative candidate.

But we also have access to non-EU markets via EU trade deals, so the amount of trade done with trade deals we're losing is larger than 45%.

The difference is really quite large. And it's not what I think, it's what the EU thinks. The next two years are about disentangling our affairs, not agreeing a new trade deal. The most likely, and most sensible, arrangement would be a transitional period post Brexit in which we continue on EEA rules and negotiate a trade deal.

Fixed

Don't confuse how the Tories operate and how labour functions. Democratic processes are far more entrenched and effective within labour.

Wow. Oh dear. Wow some more.

She claims she' healed a man's deafness, and the church she attends perform "exorcisms" to turn gay men straight.

But you know what's worse? The Spectator comments, where many are defending her against "religious persecution". So, it would seem some are happy to elect her and have no problems with her beliefs. And this isn't happening in Iran, or Saudi... or even the US, but here :/

Well we already know what happens to MP's who were just campaigning to remain (A very particular MP), If May thinks she can back peddle after all the "no deal is best", "hard brexit" and "strong and stable" crap, I wonder how some mentally disturbed people with far right views will think of her if she lied about all of that?
