A good trade deal is somewhat vague.
The EU has put a Canada-style free trade deal on the table which will involve lots of port delays and costs for manufacturing and won't solve the Irish border issue. Costs to manufacturing lead to fewer jobs in the long term.
Theresa May has accepted that there will be no financial services passporting so a deal on financial services is looking a no-no. Your wild dreams of an amazing deal are now as cold as the weather. Perhaps it's time to reconsider what's actually important. Is it more money for our depleted armed forces, roads, schools and NHS through the economic growth we will get from remaining in the EU with its ever-growing trade deals throughout the world? Or a box-ticking exercise to leave the EU and have continued austerity?
You're so funny, Andrew. Your doom laden post paints a picture that I most certainly do not recognise.

If you are expecting the detail to be there for all to see at this stage, I'm sorry, but you are going to have to wait. We will get a trade deal and the border issues will be resolved. As for financial services, we know that passporting is unlikely to be available, but that doesn't mean that we can't get an agreement.
