In a report leaked to the Financial Times, plans for the bargaining chips identified by Johnson and his Cabinet Brexiteers include services, the auto and aerospace industries, as these are in "secular decline".
Let us be honest here, this is the Government willing to throw entire sectors to the wolves on the altar of Brexit.
Imagine the job losses, the loss of GDP this is going to cost?
But it seems that business leaders have held back from criticising Brexit until they knew what form it was going to take. Well, now they know, and it is too late. Brexit will happen in a little over three weeks and there is no going back.
Ministers were said to be expecting the auto industry to decline with or without Brexit.
This will be a huge comfort to the workers in Swindon, Ellesmere Port and Sunderland when they lose their jobs, now that their empoyers have canged their minds about future investment there.
The question still remains, what is in it for Ministers and Brexiteers to push a policy that is going to decimate communities and entire regions?
