My take on the no-deal tariff schedule: on the face of it the UK’s approach seems broadly pragmatic and sensible.
I’m sure there’s devil in the detail, but general approach of *attempting* to offset consumer price rises by ensuring as much continues to enter tariff free as possible while continuing to protect some vulnerable domestic industry & guard against preference erosion makes sense.
Note: I still think consumer prices are more likely to rise than fall in event of no deal.
The NI stuff on the other hand isn’t at all sustainable, but the government kinda acknowledge that I suppose.
