There were opportunities for key sectors like aerospace and automotive to be within specific EU regulatory regimes. Some careful negotiations would be required, but the benefits for all would be significant.
This is interesting on the idea of a UK-EU common defence market on.ft.com/4c2r5wa
FWIW I think the UK could become more 'Swiss', with some selective access to the EU market, *if* it can think strategically about where to do it, swallow EU rules, and not upset things by getting into bed with Trump

Five years ago it would have been hard to quibble about US companies taking over firms such as Cobham. But can we rely on them now?
