"And Namali Mackay, trade adviser at manufacturers’ group EEF, said that – while there might be opportunities for British firms from a bilateral deal – average tariffs between the US and the EU were already just 2 per cent, on average."

I am amazed. I had gained the impression, from posts on this thread, there were many opportunities for huge extra sales of British goods to the USA.
Surely tarriffs at 2% on average is not correct.

FYI the UK is ranked #10 together with Germany and Luxembourg.

A stonking speech in the US by the PM tonight.
Her homily to the nation state but still internationalist in outlook had me a tad glassy eyed.
She`s growing into a formidable leader.

Saw a great stat tonight on the news:

Apparantly growth in the first six months of the year was 0.9%.
In the second halve, 1.2%.

I do apologise for the Brexit damage done....lol

Ah the standard response.

Good news = Brexit hasn't happened
Bad news = because of Brexit

Can you imagine the chaos if at midnight of referendum day it is announced we are leaving the EU but "we have yet to work out how we do it!"

So May is expecting to talk to Trump about letting US companies get involved in the NHS as part of a trade deal, but apparently she is still committed to making the NHS free at source. Is this the sort of deals we get to look forward to with the US?
