So called 'hard Brexiteers' do not share your view that the sky will fall in if we leave this bureaucracy. Other countries can manage to trade with the EU without being a member of it, and so can we - and we will be able to trade with the rest of the world, which is developing faster than the EU, by the way.

Personally, I would be happy with that, but I also see the sense in trying to get our own trade deal with the EU in the same way as we want with other countries. There is no reason why this should not be a good deal for us as well as the EU because our rules and regulations are already fully aligned with theirs.

What we don't want, however, is to get drawn bank in by any trade agreement with the EU. We do not want an unreasonable price to be levied on us out of spite and nor do we want to be members of the EU, the Common Market or the Customs Union.

Those who think this will result in everyone being poorer are focussing on the possibility that we will be trading less with the EU without taking into account the enormous opportunities that exist elsewhere. It is a very blinkered and negative view to take.

What will we be trading with the rest of the world that we don't currently?
