I don’t know much about Japan other than what my son tells me having spent a lot of time there and looking to move there for a period of he can, he says Aus beef is seen as the premium beef any restaurant can serve. That concurred with what I found also to be the case in Asia.Damn, now we'll have to compete with Wagu/Kobo cattle and I can't afford to keep them in beer!
We just need to find another 200 JapansWoo-hoo.
The UK's total trade with the EU was GBP 659.5 bn in 2018. The UK's total trade with Japan was GBP 29.1 bn in 2018.

The inference is 'so what?', having a dig rather than making a point; and the increase to the economy of £15bns on £3.13tns is more like 0.5% than 0.001%, so your 'factually correct' point is, in fact, wrong...They are factually correct so why are they stupid? What the point in talking trade if we don’t talk about these deals in relative terms.
I can’t see the bile. Mind pointing it out after your Sake?See below.
What stupid posts, so what? Why did the EU want a free trade deal with Japan considering its relatively small proportion of trade? UK EU trade will continue as it is as near as damn it, diminishing each year, you two know this and just spew the bile regardless.
This is great news and for such a massive target market of the Uk it’s some achievement. Although it is only an “agreement in principle“ and not yet a signed FTA. But nonetheless it’s a great boost for the UK economy as (extract) “ UK businesses will benefit from tariff-free trade on 99% of exports to Japan. Government analysis shows that a deal with Japan will deliver a £1.5 billion boost to the UK economy and increase UK workers’ wages by £800 million in the long run.”...........
As I see it the total deal is worth about £15 billion. £12 billion of that being beneficial to the Japanese who are able to import cars for example tariff free in to the UK whilst £3 billion is UK exports into Japan. And the government put this up as a successful negotiation, only if you are Japanese perhaps.
A few weeks ago I posted that quite a few on here (and not just our Irish friend) would be quite happy to see their country suffer just so that they could say I told you so, I was told that wasn't the case but the amount of criticism of what can only be good news shows I got it right.

Personally I can't wait for all this greatness to make me richer like I was promised it would.A few weeks ago I posted that quite a few on here (and not just our Irish friend) would be quite happy to see their country suffer just so that they could say I told you so, I was told that wasn't the case but the amount of criticism of what can only be good news shows I got it right.

Now Boris, make be rich, I'm taking this sh1t personally.
HMG release states the benefit to the Uk economy is 1.5 billion - as such your Ref to 15 billion is factually wrong.The inference is 'so what?', having a dig rather than making a point; and the increase to the economy of £15bns on £3.13tns is more like 0.5% than 0.001%, so your 'factually correct' point is, in fact, wrong...

Who said it was impossible? difficult certainly, but not impossible, well done to the team that pulled this off, full credit to them.But we were told such a thing is impossible! The first of many!
But weren't we told we'd be so much better off out of Europe and selling to the rest of the world?I'm afraid I may lose all the wealth I've accumulated since we've been in the EU. We won't be no better off, we won't be no worse off, the system is designed so that we 'get by'
The figure on HMG's website is £15bns... (probably remoaner civil servants playing funny beggars)HMG release states the benefit to the Uk economy is 1.5 billion - as such your Ref to 15 billion is factually wrong.
Your getting The “trade value“ and “uk economic benefit” confused. They are not the same, and the website makes clear that whilst the deal is worth an extra 15 billion (thats joint benefit), the UK will benefit by 1.5 billion. It’s there in clear black and white.The figure on HMG's website is £15bns... (probably remoaner civil servants playing funny beggars)
