This is 'exports good/imports bad' mercantilist nonsense. And who would pay the tariffs? UK consumers. As for providing grants to compensate our exporters, that is contrary to WTO rules. So much for Brexit being about free trade. /3 — PolitiTweet.org

The arguments for no deal are deeply flawed. In this case, the first argument is that EU exporters to the UK would pay more in tariffs than the other way round. This would 'rebalance' our trading relationship & give us £8bn to provide grants to our exporters, it is suggested. /2 — PolitiTweet.org

The case is then made that free of EU state aid rules, we can follow a buy-British, interventionist economic policy, using 'differentials in tax rates to drive industry towards certain outcomes' - more Tony Benn than Margaret Thatcher. A touching faith in Govt intervention. /4 — PolitiTweet.org
