    Why wouldn't it be TTIP? I mean, the EU managed to kill it off, but we won't have anything like that much sway.

    It was the EU's idea and they were negotiating it.

    What it looks like depends on what our government negotiates. If we want to change it in future then we can; it would be very different for those reasons.

    EU fails again. Virtually impossible to make trade deals with 27 countries all having their red lines. When we've got the EU off our backs we'll have trade deals the EU can only dream of.

    Yes one of the key Leave arguments that fell on purposefully deaf ears

    We're already the USAs largest investment partners with 1 million jobs either side of the pond built around our mutual trade and investment. A trade deal will be a breeze. TTIP won't come into it.

    Why won't the US want us to follow TTIP since it'll make their corporations billions?

    TTIP was entirely the US's proposal.

    It's the ability to enter into TTIP or a proposal like it on terms only we dictate on our side, and also have the ability to remove ourselves from the agreement should we wish to do so. Within the EU once the deal is agreed you can't opt out if the other nations disagree with you.
