UK Politics General Discussion

Have we just seen, twice in two days with new trade deals, some actual benefits of Brexit?

No, as the two combined don’t even cover 1% of the 4% drop in GDP from leaving the EU.

The devil will be in the details, and we haven't got any at all yet.

The Indian deal will boost GDP by 0.1%

Just to add them up (all the deals)

New Zealand 0.03%
Australia 0.08%
Japan 0.07%
India 0.01%

All other trade deals are to two decimal places 0%

We lost 4% when we left the EU.

The US deal at best reduces the harm of Trumps idiocy, it will minimise GPD losses but won’t boost it.

Not going to happen. I've got Bigly socks and Elon said not to change more than one at a time. I mean, with North Korea and Chei-nna very unstable - very very unstable. Bigly unstable. Marcon might change both of his socks at the same time, but he's leaving the back door open. Someone could come behind him and grab his p***y. Probably sleepy Joe looking for the washroom.

I didn't suggest these deals make up for the stupidity that is Brexit, but it is apparent that not being in the EU has meant we have been able to make these deals to our advantage in a way that we wouldn't have been able to if we were still in.
