The one good thing to come out of Chequers was that the Govt will speed & complete its preparations for leaving the EU w/o a deal. It's important to put some weight behind the UK’s bargaining position. Only if the Govt is prepared to exercise the No Deal option do we have clout.
The biggest win from No Deal is the opportunity to spend £39 billion at home on our own priorities that we would otherwise give away to the EU.
The next win from just leaving will be the right to control our own borders and settle our own migration policy. We need to alleviate some of the stresses on housing and infrastructure which high migration rates in recent years have exacerbated.
The third win will be in global trade. Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Canada and the USA are keen to sign trade deals with us. To do such deals we need to be free to make our own calls on regulation, tariffs and non tariff barriers.
The fourth and biggest win of all is we will re establish our home democracy. Our laws will be made in the UK, and can be repealed or improved by Parliaments we elect and influence. The UK will regain her vote and voice in a number of world bodies, including the WTO.
