WORKERS and consumers in Britain have nothing to gain from joining US-EU and anti-China tariff wars, the Communist Party has declared.
General secretary Robert Griffiths told the party’s political committee on Tuesday evening that “higher tariffs on our exports and imports would jeopardise investment, jobs and living standards.”
This is especially true given Britain’s trade deficit and its relatively small industrial sector, dominated by private-sector and foreign ownership, he warned.
