"UK exports to the EU in 2016 43% of all UK exports.
UK imports from the EU 54%.
I'd be more worried if the figures were much higher."
How much higher would they need to be for you to be 'more worried'? I mean, those numbers represent a pretty significant chunk of our trading volume. Larger than any other trading partner.
Besides that, what is the point of this thread?

To me it represents approx half of our imports and exports are elsewhere.
The point of the thread is whatever you want it to be

"Is this a “they need us more than we need them” post?"
That would take more than just pulling figures from a news item  .
The news item did close saying that a no trades deal is a lose-lose for both sides. |

It is lose-lose, but they lose something like 8%, and we lose closer to 40-50% |

The single biggest loser will be the UK who put almost half of their exports at risk. Other damaged parties will Include Ireland in particular. The U.K. has long term form for fucking the Irish over but fortunately now they will not be alone if the U.K. decides to go full kamikaze. |

Ah the flawed theory - "we buy more off them" all very true. But if you take Germany the "biggest" potential loser only exports just over 9% to the UK. It exports much more to the other 26 countries of the EU. However whilst Germany will lose some of the 9% but not ALL as it will trade with the UK under WTO RULES! The only thing is German cars will cost 10% more. The UK mainly exports services - like how to avoid tax knowledge, insurance etc which will be restricted after brexit. |

They have made it perfectly clear, that whilst trade with the UK is important, trade with the rest of the EU is more important. |

We don't 'lose' 40-50% and they don't 'lose' 8%.
Those amounts are affected by the negotiation. Either remaining free trade or wto, or other deal.
The 8% is a misleading figure. We are ,for example' Germany's 3rd largest export market after the usa and France. |

We are not negotiating with Germany, we are negotiating with the EU. Exports from the EU to the UK, make up around 8% of their exports, we export 40-50% of our exports to the EU. Therefore the UK has a lot, lot more to lose. |

My primary point is we don't 'lose' 40-50% of our export trade, as you said. That amount is 'affected' by any new deal. |

Yes many businesses would be completely unfazed if they suddenly lost 43% of their sales. And Im sure you'd be ok with losing 43% of your income as well.

I'd recommend you listen to billionaire businessesman James Dyson's interview yesterday on the BBC Andrew Marr show. He says we have nothing to fear from Brexit and should embrace it with open arms. He says in the interview his company had already "fallen off the cliff" and thrived despite trading with Europe on tariffs set for companies outside of the EU for years. Sir James said "Look there are fantastic opportunities outside of Europe. Europe is the slowest growing area in the world. All the other areas are much faster growing, I think 90% of future growth will come from outside of the EU. "
He also said in the interview that the EU's demands for billions and billions in a divorce bill are "outrageous" and Theresa May should walk away now without paying a single penny, as it's the only way to deal with these people. |

They are 43% of our *export* sales, not 43% of our total sales.
Still very important (12-15%) though. |

the irony of someone quoting James Dyson who scrapped over 860 British jobs in order to boost his profits by going to Malaysia at a time when he had taken £17 million in dividends from the company and is now saying it will be ok is fucking lost on some on here..
his faith in Britain like his views when he was a supporter of the EU seems to have changed..

Dyson was only too happy to use the ECHR when he was suing the patent office, then went off the EU when stricter energy efficiency standards were brought in. It's almost as if his mood changes with what benefits him and his company at any particular moment. |

A bit like Davis suing May through the ECHR. He thinks he should get to use it, but no one else should. |

43% of nothing is nothing  but i get your point. But the idea of having about 50% trade elsewhere surely means movement?

Which is why any pronouncement from Dyson (or similar) requires a pinch of salt so large it would require all of next year's daily intake |

Its also important to note that if the UK doesnt make a deal with the EU they not only lose the single market access they also lose e ery other trade deal with every other country the EU has, so its not just the EU exports that are at risk... |

Because the EU have the trade deals not the UK. When we leave we lose it all and go onto WTO RULES. Don t worry though Liam Fox will have hundreds of deals ready to sign up the day after. Watch for the flying pigs...... |

At the moment the UK benefits from all the trade deals the EU has with other countries. When we leave the EU, we leave all of these other deals too. So we won’t just be losing some trade with the EU, but with a whole host of other countries too like South Korea and Turkey for example. |

I imagine the problem started with the parties not believing that Brexit would happen, hence no exit strategy, hence fluffing around now. |
