    I actually saw BREXITers bragging about the deal with Australia. Being thrilled at being able to buy Australian wine. Yes, that's right, the exact same wine they'd been able to buy BEFORE they voted for BREXIT, but had probably never even known, or cared that it existed on the shelves. The only difference between before the vote, and now? That's right, the price increase, along with everything else... assuming we can actually get it through the borders.

    Im Australian, currently living in Malta atm. I bought a packet of tarot cards from a woman in UK who was selling the deck i wanted on Ebay. I paid for it via paypal the sale was accepted and processed. 3 days after my order the woman selling the cards cancelled and refunded my order and told me that she cant post the cards to the EU cause its going to cost her more to post it ???? So she lost a sale - so i went back on ebay found another copy of the deck and i bought the deck from Australia - took 2 weeks to arrive to me in Malta but i got it. thank you

    The basic flaw with Democracy is that voters often make their mark emotionally, not on researched facts and logic. The plus side is that they can change their mind after 5 years. With the referendum one campaign gave facts, the other emotions. The voters are, increasingly, realising that leaving was not just wrong but a very bad idea but it is too late, they get no second vote.

    Of course Australia would get the best out of the deal as they have all their trade deals intact including the ones with the EU. Were as "global" Britain has virtually none having left the EU membership, membership of which was a condition of the majority trade deals it had. Anything Australia got out of the deal were extra on top of what Australia already has were-as the UK was trying to replace what it's lost by leaving the EU. So quite simply Australia had the whip hand in the negotiations and to put it bluntly the UK was in, and still is in any future trade talks, a position of beggars can't be choosers.

    Well at least the UK seems to be an expert on leaving trade deals. What Eustace gets wrong is that he has an inflated sense of the importance of the UK. He thinks the UK is powerful when negotiating trade deals and so can get great deals. The EU has far more leverage because of the size of the EU market. If only there was some way the UK could take advantage of that leverage. There must be a way, but for the life of me, I can't think how.

    Hilarity. The 'mistakes' the UK makes on trade deals are not mistakes - they are a function of its diminished value as a trade partner. When it comes to trade, no one can twist the EU's arm and get away with it. That's why the EU trade negotiations take a long time, but they *never stop* - because no other power, no matter how mighty, can bear not to talk to them. But the UK? What's it to to CPTPP that they can trade with the UK? Who gives a flying toss? Nice deal if you can get it, that's what they'll say, and the UK has no choice but to agree due to political pressures.
