Brexiters have certainly changed their tune. A lot less keen on reverting to WTO rules than they were during the referendum.
Did you not hear what Davis said? The 'no deal is better than a bad deal' was because of threats of a punishment deal.The EU want a good deal. The UK want a good deal. If anyone thinks they can punish us then WTO will have to do.

"Shut up remoaners. We can do just fine as a country reverting to WTO rules."
Now
"Erm, well erm, let's hope it doesn't come to that."
What constitutes a bad deal anyway? You are aware that to make any deal we are going to have to make some concessions?
No way on Earth would I watch that bunch, the pain would be akin to the time my "mates" tied me to a tree one balmy summer night in Wester Ross and left me to be bitten senseless by clouds of blood thirsty Midges.
Salmond alone would be more than I could take, what a stonkingly annoying voice he has.

You do realise the WTO rules work in both directions. "Shut up remoaners. We can do just fine as a country reverting to WTO rules."

So if you believe that this would be bad for the UK, then surely the same principle of standardised tariffs mean a bad deal for the EU?
As so many are clearly stating this is a default should a deal/s not be agreed.
Ultimately people would have to naive to think ships would sit in ports until deals were agreed. Trade will carry on even in a worse case scenario, even if it may be reduced.
What i do find frustrating is that MPs who are supposed to be better informed would rather continue focusing their efforts on trying to prevent Brexit. As well as going on programmes clearly trying to bias public opinion.
Rather than trying to make clear the good and bad possibilities , such that mr & Mrs average are better informed.

Yes, and it's the constant drip drip of how we are gong to lose our markets , never how much the EU members will suffer from not trading with us So if you believe that this would be bad for the UK, then surely the same principle of standardised tariffs mean a bad deal for the EU?

docksides full of unsold RHD euro cars and trucks , furniture and other goods , while we buy better quality japanesse and american products for less !!!
maybe thats the price the pen pushers think it will be worth paying , I doubt EU businesses will see it that way ???

Correct.The EU want a good deal. The UK want a good deal. If anyone thinks they can punish us then WTO will have to do.
I don't believe for a moment that the EU will want to punish it's own member states by imposing punitive tariffs on their exports.
I do think that we should be guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens in the UK before the process begins - even if our citizens are threatened with deportation.

How would you feel if you were a UK citizen living in the EU and you saw the rights of EU citizens in the UK being protected whilst your own rights to live in the country you reside in are still up in the air?
