We still need to buy food and goods.
These Tariffs apply to all Imports, not just those from the EU.
We need Free Trade Deals.

No quite .
Bananas come on refrigerated ships they are then ripened by the use of ethylene gas.

We certainly don’t need labour intensive crops like Broccoli
We have people , unemployed people they will have to go to work on the fields .
We managed before we will manage again.

Perhaps we can rely on them as a trade partner.
In fact, quite a lot of Commonwealth nations are in the southern hemisphere and we are on good terms with most of them.
Sod the EU! Who needs them?
And they could do with a bit of help by the sound of it??

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
They have to be proper Free Trade Deals however otherwise we fall foul of WTO Rules.
We could Import just about everything we need cheaper, but then we would have mass unemployment and would be entirely dependant upon other Countries.
No other Country in the World does that, with good reason.

You are trying to negotiate new individual trade deals withusa, australia, new zealand and japan. Of which japan gave you six weeks to accept what they offered. Of the 6 weeks four remain.
If you have nothing to export, why close a trade deal? You lower your tarif and the other party need not do the same?
