Ivan Rogers was a highly placed remoaner, they are better off without him. CETA has nothing like the impact of a trade deal between the UK and the EU (actually about 6-8 countries in the EU). People harp on about the UK needing a trade deal with the EU, they should perhaps look at it from the other side. The EU needing a trade deal with the UK. With some 100 billion Euro trade surplus 6-8 EU countries have presently with the UK and another 12 billion Euro net loss in annual UK contributions they are looking at massive job losses without a trade deal. Also apart from a couple of countries most EU members have a much higher rate of unemployment than the UK.
