From City AM:
Lucy Thomas' declaration that 'nearly half our trade is with other EU countries* is, to be charitable, economical with the truth.
About 80 per cent of our trade is internal - and only 8% of our trade is with EU countries.
As the referendum approaches, we must not allow these distortions to become accepted truth.

* Pedant point - they are not "EU countries", they are "EU Member States".

Well, you can see where she got here figure from, (about half our external trade is with the EU) but it's still a lie.
