UK tariffs are down to the UK.

agreed

We can apply any tariff we like within the WTO rules to any cou7ntry we
like. So, tax EU lamb, but not New Zealand lamb.

No we can't, that's the point

we tax all lamb or no lamb, you cannot pick and choose where it comes
from
when applying tariffs

Yes you can

No you can't under the WTO rules.

that's the whole idea behind tarrifs,

Nope.

totherwiose why have them.

To provide a sheltered workshop for your local producers so
they can charge what they like and be protected by tariff barriers.

Thats the whole point of the EU tariffs.

Not everyone operates like that anymore.
