Just wondering about the cost of exporting stuff to Japan. Most of our exports over there are heavy machinery, nuclear power stuff, boilers and chemicals. Dont think this is gonna help the millions of small businesses previously trading with the EU much.

They will continue trading with the EU though. Meanwhile as I say, this is a step to gain access to the CPTPP. I’m not arguing that it replaces anything we do with the EU, but it will add in however a small way to our better preparation for other trade deals and add a small % to our GDP. As Tesco’s say ‘every little helps’......

Had you down as more of a waitrose's man.
 
Good synopsis re the meeting imo, although it's a shame the singing and May's comments are excluded:

He's telling MPs he wants them to "understand his point of view, not the polemic view in the papers."

You know how the Right likes to moan about how the culture war is all the left’s fault? This is it. This is the real culture war right here.
It’s taking objective, established fact, which was confirmed by your own Minister to Parliament, which was confirmed by your own Attorney General in writing, which forced your own lawyer to resign, and which is literally written into your own bill, and dismissing all that as the “polemic view of the papers.”
(Forgetting those same papers are regularly employed to test policy or attack your political opponents).
Don’t trust your lying eyes. Believe only Dear Leader.
PM is insisting to MPs that the clauses in the Internal Market Bill are "necessary to stop a foreign power from breaking up our country."

Its followed up by dismissing the past as well. Nine months ago it was a “wonderful” deal that safeguarded the integrity of the UK. Today it threatens to break up the UK. Who signed the deal? Who sold it to the public? Who voted for it? Who negotiated it? Who rushed it through without adequate scrutiny? Who told us that scrutiny wasn’t necessary? Who dismissed the very same concerns that were made at the time?
None of those questions matter. Nine months ago doesn’t matter. Yesterday doesn’t matter. What Boris is saying, right now, doesn’t matter. Words don’t have meaning.
All that matters is you believe in Dear Leader.

0.07 is actually not particularly bad, if you compare it to entire economic activity for the country, it's never going to seem like much.

Bizarre though that it is being remarked upon as a fantastic achievement and a sign of Britain prospering when it barely makes a dent in the loss expected from no deal.

It also just replicates the deal we already had through being in the EU.
