“it simply isn’t worth jeopardising access to the single market for the sake of global trade.” What UK negotiator @DavidGHFrost said in 2016 #Voices4ABetterDeal https://issuu.com/portland_comms/docs/brexitbooklet_online_3_?e=7459321/36134988

@DavidGHFrost also said: « Britain will be demandeur and so it will be Britain that has to make the concessions to get the deal. »
So who holds all the cards?

@DavidGHFrost : « So [Brexit] would leave the UK with less access to the single market than before. Would this be outweighed by freedom to negotiate our own trading arrangements with other countries? A simple bit of maths shows the answer is no.”

What @DavidGHFrost concludes: « In short, even the best-case outcome can’t be as good as what we have now; and we won’t be able to negotiate the best-case outcome anyway, because in real life you never can. »
