I may be wrong, Jon, but the EU is out to get us. They are pursuing the UK for various alleged past infringements and, at least in the short term, there is very little there for us.
If they go so far as to ban vaccine exports, then the UK is in a life threatening position. All trust and conciliation would be lost and we might as well abandon the treaty because of the EU’s act of aggression.
We can build trade elsewhere. The EC is a nasty, vindictive executive and if the 27 nations back what the EC proposes then there is little point in pretending that they are worthwhile partners.
