So in a no-deal scenario, EU countries won't want to buy our goods with extra tariffs attatched, and people in the UK will end up paying 35% more for a stick of Lurpak... A win-win, surely? 🤦♂️
Dairy farmers won’t be affected by a possible 35% tariff if there is no trade deal with the EU because "we would be applying our own tariffs on imported EU goods," says Environment Secretary George Eustice
