BRITAIN has the worst trade deficit in the world as a percentage of GDP.
The EU Single Market Treaty stops Britain restricting EU imports. Therefore when we get a trade deficit we have no power to correct the situation.
There is nothing George Osborne can do about the trade deficit without breaking EU Law.
It is only by leaving the EU that Britain can regain control of it borders and start to increase exports and promote British-made goods.
