IT IS as plain as the nose on your face that the best trading opportunities for Britain are inside the European Union.
The world’s biggest market is on our doorstep.
The EU has a growing number of trade deals around the globe.
Which will have the bigger negotiating muscle, 510 million Europeans, or an offshore island of 65 million?
The United States, China and the EU itself will run rings around little England.
Thankfully the days of Empire, when India and Africa were forced to trade with British buccaneers, is long over.
Dreaming of Britain standing alone against the rest of the world is just that; a fantasy.
Theresa May’s divided Government is pushing the United Kingdom into weakness, isolation and stagnation.
Only Labour will put jobs and prosperity first by staying as close as possible to the rest of Europe.
