This, my friends, is one of your legislators. We didn't elect him, but he sits in the House of Lords as a reward for bringing us Brexit, injecting his bigotry, perversity and ignorance into our lives. Daniel Hannan in the Daily Mail today, once again grossly misrepresenting history.

Donald Trump’s imperialism is the latest tool to advance the hegemony of US capital

It was estimated that 20% tariffs would cost UK 0.8% GDP.
So let's say today's tariffs will cost 0.4%.
So Brexit saved us 0.4% in US trade, but cost us 4% in EU trade.
