Liz Truss does it again

Truss does it again! UK to achieve £9TRILLION Brexit prize as 'small' EU replaced (msn.com)

What a girl.

International Trade Secretary Liz Truss said she hoped to conclude negotiations to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement (CPTPP) by the end of next year. The £9trillion bloc has Australia, Canada, Japan and Singapore among its members as well as Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru and Vietnam.

Ms Truss said the negotiations with the bloc of 11 countries were the focus of the UK Government's "Global Britain" post-Brexit trade agenda.

She stressed that having talks concluded by next year would allow the UK to benefit from huge" economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

The minister added: "Two-thirds of the world's middle classes are going to live in Asia by 2030 and the types of products that they're demanding are the types of things Britain produces - whether those high value manufactured goods, quality food and drink, digital and data products, financial services."

Ms Truss said the UK needed to look for trading opportunities beyond the European Union as the economic size of the bloc is due to shrink.

What a girl.

At least she's looking. It's a start.

 

[Vinty]

Whether leaving the EU was the right thing or wrong thing to do, it is now a fact of life.
The only alternative is to reorientate trade away from the EU to the rest of the world.

That is one alternative.

Think about it overnight and see if you can think of another.

You are so easily conned it’s embarrassing.

I've just thought about it John, and thought **** em. They are nasty, insular, evil minded little people who will cut their own throats if it assists punishing the UK because we no longer want to be members of their inclusive little club, the club that is protectionist to toward French farmers, German manufacturers and a currency based on fairy dust.

The UK will be around long after the EU has disappeared, disappeared, gone, like tears in the rain.

Ah, the all knowing knowledgeable Notch, cheerleading an organisation so f****d up it's taking itself to court. You couldn't make it up.

Anybody paying attention would know the EU already has trade deals with:

Mexico
Chile
Peru
Singapore
Canada
Japan
Vietnam

and is negotiating deals with
Australia
New Zealand.

so that leaves
Brunei
Malaysia.
Both have tiny gdp’s

Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Australia, and New Zealand already show very high imports of UK services relative to their market size. Any extra exports to these countries as a result of joining CPTPP will likely only add a marginal benefit: most of what the UK is capable of shipping (or sending) to these countries is already happening



Trying to liberate trade with CPTPP will be difficult, it’s far from a harmonised market.

However the EU, has a harmonised marketplace and has gone way beyond any other trade bloc on liberating services..

You really are so completely clueless.

let’s take just one thing:
“the EU is protectionist”

well the EU is a similar size to China and America…..please tell me which of those is more protectionist?

how sweet….the ignorance of the brexiteer.

The UK had many benefits as a member of the Single Market…..so what you are whining about is loosing those benefits…… (which you describe as “punishing the UK)

cakeism….it’s deeply embedded in Fillyboy

 

[Vinty]

wrong.

If the EU insist on mixing politics with trade, then there is no alternative but to look elsewhere.
The world is a big place.

 

[Vinty]

Do the Chinese and Americans insist that we have to adopt their rules before they will do business.

But not the USA and the CPTPP, interesting, that's most of the global trade. Maybe they'll catch up with us after twenty years or so, it does take them time to come to any agreement.

You're talking sh1te man, by 'harmonised' you're talking about accepting another countries rules, standards and being ruled by a European Court. **** that, the CPTPP doesn't demand those requirements and a US FTA won't either.

Accept it man, the EU is f****d, what trading partners showing exponential growth are going to accept their ridiculous demands. They're finished mate, gone.

 

[JohnD]

They're finished mate, gone.

a rabid anti-EU campaigner.

Fortunately no longer a dominant force in UK or other European countries.

I'd certainly label myself as anti EU, I'd question 'rabid',

Fortunately no longer a dominant force in UK or other European countries.

Ooh goody goody gumdrops, Macron and Merkel are a shoe in for the next elections then and Corbyn is Prime Minister.

Read the news John.
