There is also a new trade deal with the Ivory Coast, just signed the other day.
The UK is in negotiations with the Australian government to create some sort of free movement agreement for UK and Australian citizens.
The commonwealth countries (over 2 billion people) are queueing up to do trade deals with the UK.

Meanwhile in the real world the UK is currently negotiating a deal with our largest and nearest trade partner that massively increases trade barriers.

Doesn't look like a mackerel to me filly.
Whose waters was it caught in?
Iceland's? Norway's?
Will there be a trade agreement for the tiny number of remaining UK fishermen to harvest their waters?
If not, we can continue to import them from the EU. Probably.

The difference is that unlike the EU the rest of the world wants pure trade without any strings attached.
The ivory coast deal is about bananas , we buy their Bananas and they buy stuff from us and everyone's a winner.
Its a small start but there is potential for growth ,this part of the world is where the future lies ,these are developing economies ,the UK has skills and expertise that these people need while they have resources that the UK needs.
Bananas are dirt cheap anyway.
Meanwhile in the real world the Chinese are all over places like Africa buying and selling stuff on an epic scale, that is were the Brits used to be.
The EU is not the centre of the world, if they don't want to have a sensible deal then it is time to move on.
That is because they don't come from the EU, anything the UK needs can be sourced elsewhere in the world.
A fair trade deal with the EU would be ideal but if they don't want one then that would be a problem.
Strange that the recently signed Japanese trade deal has not been mentioned
Maybe because OUR exports are contingent upon the EU not having used up all IT'S quotas?
The EU is an economic superpower, similar in size to USA and China.
It is on our doorstep
UK has easy, cheap access to EU
Trade gravity
So we can buy things cheaply from rest of world whilst inside EU Customs Union.........that rather contradicts your argument there are great opportunities when we leave.
Probably because it is only worth 0.07% of UK GDP....
On the other hand the deal we used to have with the largest trading bloc in the world accounts for 48% of our exports...
Now which do you think is the better deal?
