We are therefore left at the mercy of Boris Johnson managing to do a deal with Donald Trump to have any chance of a favourable trade deal with a major trading bloc.

Either that, or the whole European Union falls apart and we go back to where we were before the EU.

Looking on the bright side, most major international banks will end up leaving the U.K. so may be the last we'll see of jursett
