Donald Tusk has today confirmed that a free trade agreement (FTA) on goods with no tariffs is the only possible route for the UK’s exit from the European Union.

The President of the European Council said the EU does not want to build a wall with Britain, but Brexit means “we will be drifting apart”.

He said the EU wanted an “ambitious and advanced” free trade agreement, but the UK’s red lines limit what it can get from the final Brexit deal.

Tusk said: “Our agreement will not make trade between the UK and EU frictionless or smoother.

“It will make it more complicated and costly than today for all of us. This is the essence of Brexit.”

He said it would be the first time in history that a free trade agreement would “loosen, not strengthen economic ties”.

Here’s how an FTA will impact UK regions.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
