Nick Clegg on Marr. This is a bloke who has constantly complained about lies, misleading statements by the Leave campaign.

This morning when responding to Marr he said that if through new trade deals we doubled trade with USA, Canada, NZ then it would not be enough to replace the trade with the EU.

That statement is shaped to make people think we risk losing all our trade with the EU.

I accept we might lose some trade with the EU, 5%, 10%, maybe even 15% and it would be gradual if it were to happen.
So FTAs would be looking at gradual increase in trade over time and it is realistic to be able to replace any lost trade with teh EU with trade elsewhere.

Also, if May can deliver on or close to the plan she outlined, trade with the EU should be largely unaffected anyway.

So his statement is misleading, he was using statistics that have no relevance to any likely scenario.
