"The free trade agreement that we will have to do with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history.../ /....The only reason that we wouldn’t come to a free and open agreement is because politics gets in the way of economics."
"There is a 60‑40 chance of no-deal Brexit."
"This country is not the free-trading nation it once was. We have become too lazy, and too fat on our successes in previous generations, companies who could be contributing to our national prosperity - but choose not to because it might be too difficult or too time-consuming or because they cant play golf on a Friday afternoon - weve got to be saying to them if you want to share in the prosperity of our country you have a duty to contribute to the prosperity of our country."
