The Pacific trade deal is agreed and will provide a real fillip to our economy, particularly as it will cover favourable conditions for the service sector, our biggest earner.
Germany's economy is doing worse than ours, and yet you don't take into account these facts, preferring to concentrate on negative comparisons. It's a bit of an obsession, isn't it?

OB, I am not going to debate objective reality. Been there, done that. If you cannot be honest enough to accept that what the electorate was promised were lies then there is no debate possible.
As for Germany, for a G7 economy that is in the midst of re-engineering its industrial dependency on Russian gas it doing a pretty good job considering. The UK has no such dependency.
