E:-rgo, we spend more with the bloc than we recieve by a considerable amount as you know, and have never denied to
my knowledge? In my simple mind that means we lose about
100 billion each year to the bloc? Not to mention that eu
Steals approx 80% of OUR fishing resources!
I know we will have to replace some of those imports with
others, But we can do this by buying from countries in the
wider world which generally are much cheaper than eu products!
Where does the 100 billion deficit money come from l ask
you??

If you are talking about the trade deficit then not sure of your sources. But according to stats in 2018 it was as follows. Overall this would be a trade deficit with the global trading partners of -20bn."The UK had an overall trade deficit of -£64 billion with the EU in 2018. A surplus of £29 billion on trade in services was outweighed by a deficit of -£93 billion on trade in goods.
The UK had a trade surplus of £44 billion with non-EU countries. A surplus of £83 billion on trade in services outweighed a deficit of -£39 billion on trade in goods."

I've no idea why anyone thinks we will stop importing from and exporting to the EU economic region. Anyone who thinks that needs to think about it a little more!
