Scenarios
And it is his job to also model the worst case and prepare for that too if it happens

Tim Martin - not credible, said he would be able to sell Aussie wine cheaper without tariffs, it works out at 7p per bottle,m VAT is £2.50 on average. Goes with the whole cheaper for British consumers angle, but used Australia ( dealt with above) and Chille as examples ( the EU already has no tariff on Chilean imports).

Hargreaves - a disaster capitalist, thinks the insecurity will be good.

James Dyson - has beef with the EU because he wanted to make higher power vacuum cleaners, the EU have changed ratings in order to make appliaces consume less energy. Still chose to make his new factories in places with EU FTAs./

JC Bamford - found guilty by the EU for breaking competition laws.

Jim Ratcliffe- Backs TMs deal.

Simon Wolfson - Wants "red tape" cut. Yeahh we know that means employment law.

So no not credible at all using credibility criteria they all either have vested interests, have shown that their expertise is lacking, or have poor track records in this area.

Shall we publish a list of all those backing remain.

the SSMT - car manufacturers, a hard brexit would result in major delays for firms with JIT, increasing costs. Tariffs on products would result in UK manufactured cars costing more, all of which needs to be passed on to the consumer, making it uncompetitive to produce cars here.

And solid proof that they have no personal vested interests.

Leaving the EU places the UK's ability to export financial services to the large EU market at threat.

"Because until you can give us that your arguments mean fuck all."

Says the person who has never, ever justified her vote to leave.

Your arguments have meant fuck all for ever, idiotic remarks and lots of supposition.

You can’t produce one name with proof that remaining in the EU will not benefit them personally.

What a surprise.

Of course remaining in the EU benefits people personally, it benefits the majority of people personally.

Leaving benefits an elite few with very, very specific interests.

BTW I named you the representitives of entire industries, your side names these very specific interest people.

Loser.

Dear God this is pitiful.

Everyone who supports leave does so in part because it will benefit them personally because it’s clear Leaving is going to be detrimental to us all.

Cages are rattled though aren’t they?
