They say we have no negotiators for trade deals? Brexit?

It is not about selling stuff at all. It is about tariffs, dispute resolution (which country's courts) and standards (eg do we have to accept American hormone-filled beef and do the Americans have to lift their ban on red Smarties?).

And the reason we have no negotiators is that for the past umpteen years, the EU has done all this negotiation for us.

Cant we just copy tariffs and standards across from EU?  As a starting point.

Can't we just propose to trade as we have done unless the other country tells us anything different?

It's about deals like C.E.T.A and can take between 5-7 years to do a deal.We can't star a deal till we invoke
A50 then we will need a transitional arrangement that could take till 2019 then we can start trade deal talks
David Davies lives in cloud cuckoo land along with many other Brexiters it's not as simple as let's leave the
E.U.and trade with R.O.W.

Governments usually publish impact assessments before signing any trade deal so people can see what
impacts they may have on their lives.Surprise surprise our Government says it won't that's
the sort of transparency you can look forwards to from the shower in charge of Brexit
