“It doesn’t amount to much under WTO rules – and still do better than deals with the EU,” said Martin, who imports many of his drinks from exporters outside of the EU.
By relinquishing the free trade deal the U.K. currently enjoys with the EU, Britain would also be able to manage its immigration policy – something that Prime Minister Theresa May has advocated in her hard Brexit agenda.
“It’s the great fallacy at the very, very heart of pro-Euro thinking, which is that to have high immigration you need to have an undemocratic EU. You don’t. Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, for example, all have much higher levels of immigration than the U.K., but it’s controlled by their own parliament.
“(We need) a sensible American, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore one (policy), on a points-system.
