He chose not to respond so allow me:
Due to the fact that EU countries make laws together and have a system of mutual recognition in areas where the EU hasn't made laws...
Anything made in the UK is automatically legal to sell across Europe* without costly adaptations or checks.
Can Chinese companies sell anything made legally in China in the EU? No Can the companies of every other country in the world do that? No

So what does that say about anyone who said all countries have access to the Single Market?
THEY LIED TO THIS COUNTRY
#EuropeanElections2019
The Single Market isn't just some fancy term the EU invented to describe its economy. It means that if you're in it, you can trade with EU countries as if you were trading within your own SINGLE country. The same laws apply so no adaptation costs.
NOT THE SAME AS THE "EU MARKET".

If you voted Brexit because the political class has failed to give a crap about the struggle of life in your area for decades...
A man who says he doesn't mind if Brexit makes you poorer is not your friend.
#EuropeanElections2019
If you voted Brexit because you care deeply about the NHS, because you know it's one of the best things about the UK, as it shows we all care about each other enough to give a little so everyone is OK...
A man who wants to scrap the NHS is not your friend.
#EuropeanElections2019
If you voted Brexit because you could see the UK needed fixing...
A man who responds to a nurse who's panicking about the impact of Brexit on the NHS staffing crisis by saying "Brexit was never gonna solve any of our domestic problems" is not your friend.

If you support having No Deal at all (besides WTO) with our European neighbours, you need to actually say the words "I think the UK will not suffer at all by economically isolating itself in a way that every successful economy on the planet chooses specifically not to do."
"Fine, but we can take the hit".

Can someone who relies on food banks afford to "take the hit"?

Can someone waiting for universal credit so they can feed their kids afford to "take the hit"?

Can someone who needs expensive medication to live afford to "take the hit"?
But don't worry... "We'll rebuild"!

I told a friend yesterday why, if Brexit happens, I'll be going after everyone in the Labour Party who didn't back a public vote once they saw the deal:
If you lose a match because your keeper keeps booting it in his own goal, shouting at the other side isn't your top priority.
When people start losing jobs from No Deal Brexit...
When we start seeing more "problems" in Northern Ireland due to No Deal Brexit...
When people start dying due to the "NHS Catastrophe" @theBMA, the highest UK medical authority warned us about...
The blame game will be historic
No excuses will be tolerated from ANY MPs who aren't backing a public vote. Because they could have said this on Day 1. And asked anyone who challenged their position: "Which version of Brexit did all 17million people vote for"
They played politics instead

Air boxing by top #UK officials is amazing. Who punching at? Unlike in London, #Brexit never been much fight in Brussels, more lament. When some urged penalty in financial settlement, EU ignored & just tabbed up #'s. Citizen rights a 2-way street. Other stuff mainly logistical..
Point again is not to take any side, but merely point out Brussels has had consistent principles, goals & negotiating positions from the start. London still has no consensus on final objective. No one I know in #EU has advocated for "no deal" but some in #UK actually do that...
Have had many many long conversations w/ top London colleagues. Am very conscious of all arguments & concerns on #UK side, incl over Northern Ireland. But even in no deal scenario, #UK will end up facing exact same choice on future relationship w/ EU as now, but w/o transition...

“May has left our fingers in the EU mangle but there is a way to get free”; highly dillusional article by ⁦@DavidDavisMP⁩. 1/

thetimes.co.uk/article/335917…
Take this for example, ditch #EU regulation and replace it in order to reach a trade deal with the US. They will have us for breakfast, forcing further deregulation and acceptance of harmful agri-products. Industry don’t necessarily want it and in services they will squeeze us./2
This; how, what and when? @DavidDavisMP has been Secretary of State for 2 years and hasn’t come up with any substantial and viable proposals, as the technology doesn’t exist. Neither has he strongly engaged with the #EU27 to work this out due to lack of internal HMG agreement. /3

Here's a critique of the UK database entries of our Financial Secrecy Index, from a lawyer at Clifford Chance - one of the world's ten biggest law firms (per Wikipedia). And what follows is a response on the points raised.
To begin, we really value expert feedback. We had a nearly two-year review process before the Jan.2018 release, which we were delighted to find brought in a great many stakeholders, including experts, users and subject jurisdiction policymakers..
You can find more information about the methodology and review, including a statistical analysis by the European Commission's index experts, here: financialsecrecyindex.com/introduction/m…
