I think you need to devolve it from the EU. That’s done and dusted. Now we are building a future outside of the restrictions of the EU. Put purely as a standalone issue, what do you think of the CPTPP…….

Restrictions of the EU lol lol lol lol lol

That it reeks of desperation as you're out of other feasible options, really.
If I could roll a magic ball and tell you exactly how it'd turn out I'd not be here but probably a multi-billionaire lol but my opinion is that while there's a "10b$ market" there, it's not really close to you. Sure, it's a good deal, but it's a geographically clustered deal. And my question remains - what do you import/export/trade with the TPP-11? What does Britain offer that they don't have?

Again, the answer would've been to stay in the EU, despite the, uh, "restrictions" I guess (which I bet you can't actually prove, but whatever at this point right? :) )

Almost irrelevant. Globalism is struggling and no-one wants 13000 mile supply chains anymore.

Trade, meh. It’s not a big deal at all. Geopolitically I doubt it really gives us any advantage over what we had before. What Brexit has done is push us further away from all of our most important partners and made us much worse off as a country. But you know this. We had a (big) seat at the table to make things different in the EU but we chose to take our decreasingly small ball home. And what a home we have now after it.

We had a big seat in respect of payments into the EU. France and Germany always got whatever they wanted, look at the latest German requirement over the combustion engines and the green fiasco. We still work with the EU even though arseholes such as France do their level best to piss us off. We still trade with them. But now we are becoming partners, not needing a common currency, nor a common rule book, nor a common court/flag/anthem, nor having laws imposed on us that we neither need nor want, with countries who are growing faster than the sclerotic EU, while maintaining our ability to do trade deals with whoever we want. China is desperate to join CPTPP, the USA once it gets over Trumps stupid decision to leave, will rejoin and we will be able to sell services and products in a massive and growing market that will be 2x or 3x the size of the EU. Without paying a penny in……

Yeah it's a shame Australia or any other member can't offer that much better, closer and with more certainty regarding localisations.

OH and yeah the UK financial sector is in the gutter currently. So you mean you'd be importing them?

X as a Service (XaaS) only works if you can actually offer said X and do it well and make it financially sensible for the other party.
