Much obfuscation followed as V was clearly unhappy to answer that question.
Just when V thought he was safe, RM asked another one which went roughly along the lines of "If the EU demands that existing agreements will not be compromised, why did the EU compromise them in negotiations with other Countries recently? - (examples in a hand sheet waved about by RM")
Verhofstadt was then in full retreat mode and heading for the exit!
Well done Rees Mogg!
If only they'd put JRM in charge of 'negotiations', we'd be running the EU now!
He's head and shoulders above the intellectual pygmies we have in charge at the moment.

Yes, a good metaphor perhaps?

Re: Don't Blame the EU
HiWe are leaving the biggest Trading Bloc in the World.
In addition to that we are leaving all the existing Free Trade Agreements we have with other Countries as part of the EU.
This includes the new ones just negotiated with Japan, Canada and South Korea.
We need to Export, one of the aims of leaving the EU is to give us freedom to negotiate and sign new Trade Deals.
The first thing we have to do, apart from negotiate a deal with the EU, is to renegotiate the Trade Deals we are losing.
All Major Economies have trade deals, they do not solely rely on WTO Rules.

Re: Don't Blame the EU
You won't be signing any new trade deals.You will stay in the Customs union and Foxy will be out of a job.
BTW I have asked this question elsewhere and had no answer.
What is so bad about the EU trade deals that you have to leave them and how will you make better ones?

That is not a given outcome.
Our Government has ruled out a Swiss Style Deal.
I remain convinced that is the way to go.
It will be resisted by our Politicians simply because it gives power to the Voters.

Re: Don't Blame the EU
I repeat because you didn't answer:What is so bad about the EU trade deals that you have to leave them and how will you make better ones?
Notwithstanding that you want to roll 40+ of them over .
I note with interest that you want your borders to remain open as Switzerland does. That would mean borders more open than they are now!!
