Corbyn fans desperately need to watch this programme about Hugo Chavez:

Thousands of people starving and eating out of bins now because of policies like Corbyn's but those Tories and their food banks eh?
Why would a trade deal have to have free movement of people?
We import most of our stuff from China and haven't noticed millions of Chinese people turning up with the cheap clothes and electronic gadgets.

Because the EU demand it, no free movement, no deal, it's not hard is it....
As for the imports, once again you're talking tripe...see link...

OK then, we import a lot of stuff from China and haven't had to import their people as well.
The EU share of world trade has been dropping for about 20 years.
You should also watch that Hugo Chavez doc to see what you're wishing on us.

That's not a fair comparison at all.
Corporation tax is levied only on profits. It will only affect how much the owners of profitable businesses take home or reinvest (depending how into trickle down economics you are, the evidence is weak). The number of businesses for whom it is worthwhile to shift their operation overseas purely to avoid a rise in corporation tax is negligible.
The impact of a weak pound and expensive imports and all the other will be much stronger and felt by ALL businesses and likely could put many under (admittedly as well as benefiting some). Increasing corporate tax isn't going to have the same negative impact.
