Trade deals can't be excised until we leave the EU, and that has to be ratified by a majority of the countries in the EU.  ?{)(**

Which part of pre negotiation don't you comprehend?  As for the Pound, isn't it brilliant for our manufacturers and that was even before the vote!

I understand pre-negotiation also means everything is up in the air until we leave.

Which UK owned manufacturers are you referring to Angelo ?

I am all ears on that one. 8((()*/

The following export product groups represent the highest dollar value in UK global shipments during 2015. Also shown is the percentage share each export category represents in terms of overall exports from United Kingdom.
Machines, engines, pumps: US$63.9 billion (13.9% of total exports)
Gems, precious metals: $53 billion (11.5%)
Vehicles: $50.7 billion (11%)
Pharmaceuticals: $36 billion (7.8%)
Oil: $33.2 billion (7.2%)
Electronic equipment: $29 billion (6.3%)
Aircraft, spacecraft: $18.9 billion (4.1%)
Medical, technical equipment: $18.4 billion (4%)
Organic chemicals: $14 billion (3%)
Plastics: $11.8 billion (2.6%)
Aircraft and spacecraft were the fastest-growing among the top 10 export categories, up 18.2% for the 5-year period starting in 2011.
In second place for improving export sales vehicles which were up 10.2% led by cars and work trucks.
UK pharmaceuticals posted the third-fastest gain in value at 8.4%.

2016 figures should well impress!!

I suggest you try Google.  UK companies are so sought after, just look at ARM Holdings.

More or less predictable.  Once the election was out of the way and the new Executive was formed it was down to business and BrExit was top of the agenda.  I take back what I previously said about Theresa, she has certainly started with an ALL GUNS BLAZING approach!  It seems that most commentators agree, she was unwilling to show this side while under the control of Cameron.  Could Theresa be the STEEL LADY?

Absolutely, all things are interdependent.

WE used to have a thriving British industry ... but it has almost all gone

Without this Industry, how are we going to survive?

Morgan and TVR and JCB, although all quality industries are not going to keep us afloat; they are too small.

1. Rumour has it everyone wants to start a plant in UK now because the pound is down ergo so will be UK unit labour rates......sweat shops alive and well in a little island off the north Europe coast.
2. Import like we do now.
3.I don't think JCB would see itself as a small company with a turnover of two and a half billion.

Quite what Nissan, Honda, Toyota and VW will make of it all remains to be seen. I suppose VW will stay here making Bentleys and BMW will keep the Mini and Rolls Royce here. ?
