Also the US are now to manufacture their own clothes with cheap labour?
Or has he forgotten that aspect ?
He really lacks intelligence and took a very simplistic approach.
Also how about trade in services ?

A Government official said today, "We are not going back on Brexit."
Do you want to go back on Brexit, I do, and most of the UK does too.
It doesn't matter what they want, it matters what you do.
That's democracy.

The union is a sham. It is purely a robbing mechanism, to steal Scottish resources, for England.

Great to see the SNP pushing the envelope for independence.
It’s up to the English what they do in their own parliament. You know those ones blocking democratic mandates.
How about making a statement and just leaving Westminster instead. Give us hope. Anything.
Enough to make you weep.

The U.K. is not longer fit for purpose. It exists as if the empire is still a thing. All the countries would be better off if they go their own way. It’s time we ditched the royal family and become an independent republic. If England wants to keep them, fair enough, it’s their decision.

An independent Scotland could embrace a more progressive economic model, one rooted in democratic control of essential resources, robust public investment, and a commitment to long-term sustainability rather than short-term profits.

The “growth plan” for Brexit was that it would “unleash” UK from the “shackles” of EU.
And therein is the clue why there has been no growth.
The plan was no more substantial than vivid words deployed in some newspaper column or political speech.
Flimsy boosterish rhetoric, and nothing more.

It's very obvious now that the only capital investments Westminster will make in Scotland are those which boost the extraction of Scottish resources. It's almost as though they expect us to become independent & are trying to squeeze as much out of us as they can before we leave.
