Yes, of course it's complicated, but there are fewer issues than for other trade deals owing to our current alignment with them. Given that, the deadline is perfectly do-able.

It is true that the state of our economy will not be as it was pre-virus, but neither will the EU's economy.

Britain will "not be aligning with EU rules" in any post-Brexit trade deal, the foreign secretary has said.

Britain will have no alignment with EU rules post-Brexit, the U.K. chancellor said, urging companies to “adjust” to the new reality.

“There will not be alignment, we will not be a rule-taker, we will not be in the single market and we will not be in the customs union — and we will do this by the end of the year,” Sajid Javid told the Financial Times in an interview published late Friday.
