What does an increase of 0.01% of GDP get us?

I do not understand it. All at a time when we keep being told we’re bad to expect to have foreign travel for the sake of the environment and even before that were told it’s better for foodstuffs etc not to have travelled more miles than necessary, but yet they chose to ignore this when saying there are other countries we can do our own deals with. Cutting your nose to spite your face comes to mind every time.

There’s quite a demand for British goods in Australia to be fair, not least from the 1million+ Brits who have emigrated there.

Oh yes sorry I meant to reference that!, apologise. But it is a safe assumption that it is the Guardian?

You’ve been reading The Guardian again.The deal is not just about farmers which has already been discussed on another thread at great length. Interestingly enough Mary Quick of Quick’s cheese was on the radio and said Australia was her biggest customer although her cheese is much more expensive than theirs at the moment, but with the tariffs off she thinks it will be good for her company.

Financial, legal and professional services will probably benefit the most with the tariffs removed as that is something we do well. Cars, Scotch whiskey, biscuits, confectionary and ceramics will be cheaper to sell so increased trade prospects there.

The issue is that the U.K. is in a much weakened position, and Johnson appears to be willing to throw anything to the wall in pursuit if his vanity project.

Fishermen and farmers, both big supporters of Brexit are the first thrown under the bus. They must be feeling so bitter.

Farmers in Kent are 90% short staffed of fruit pickers.

It doesn’t seem great does it, but they have to try, to show us we were right to leave the EU. Our first deal! Hooray! ? hmm.
It’s not convincing me and am still wondering where the millions ‘saved’ (as proclaimed on the side of the bus ) are. Not a ? peep.

All for the sake of adulterated meat.

Well, it isn't really, is it?

It's all for the sake of somehow proving that the UK can make trade deals independently of the EU.

It does 'prove' it but it also seems to prove, yet again, that the UK is really not much good at negotiating deals. Particularly when done in a hurry to score a political point.

Once again I'm astounded that Johnson's tame Noddies in parliament are happy with losing their powers of scrutiny. I really wonder what we are paying them to do...
