So, if British business sells to UK customers they would immediately have a cost advantage over their EU rivals. Good. ?

And what products would they be.
Please name three so we can discuss

'A 7 point Conservative lead would give TM a majority of 34. Labour are imploding and it!!!8217;s brilliant.'

From #britainelects and a subsequent twitter thread

Given that by posting this you believe yougov, then you must also believe this:

Another yougov poll showing that an increasing majority now believe that Brexit is a mistake.

Survation have also puplished a new poll topline figures are CON 41%(nc), LAB 40%(nc), LDEM 9%(+1). The YouGov one is very strange, probably an outlier.

From Election Data

Something absolutely remarkable in the YouGov polling from today. These are figures for those in social grade C2DE (January numbers in brackets):
CON 48% (35% in January)
LAB 37% (46% in January)
Eleven-point swing to the Tories from Labour since January.

Lab - 9%

Actually a 22% swing to CON in C2DE.

Oh Jeremy Corbyn..........

Interesting and calamitous end to the G7 shindig in Canada last night, which could have ramifications for the Brexit trade negotiations.
Trump advocating complete free trade between G7 nations and the rest doggedly hanging onto the idea of a rules based system. Trump vowing to move next onto to the unfair swamping of the US by foreign car makers, as a result the German car lobby is begging Merkel to cease tariffs on US car imports. This could be an good time for a country leaving the EU to be negotiating a free trade deal, especially when that country is the destination for circa 20% of German car output.
On the flipside of that argument, with Trump trashing the longstanding norms of the western alliance and perhaps shifting the geopolitical orbit of the US away from Europe, is it the time for the U.K. to be distancing itself politically and economically from its own continent?
Fascinating times we live in.

Brexit will damage the UK economy for years. The EU is a club and if you are no longer a member, then you are not going to receive the same deal.

EU countries have already told manufacturers in their countries to stop using UK made parts and to start to source them from EU countries. The City of London which does a lot of Euro trading is going to lose billions of pounds of trading to Paris and Frankfurt.

What a depressing poll, shows what a terrible state British politics is in.

Labour now the preserve of the chattering classes has lost grass root support of the working class. People prepared to vote Tory even though they are all screwed up and lacking unity and no effective third party to act as an alternative.

Whether you are a remainer or leaver, that's pretty depressing.
