I am not rehashing a Brexit debate. I'm explaining that a trade deal does not have to be postponed because of coronavirus. As usual, you are putting forward problems which either don't exist, or at least are straight forward enough for the government to overcome.

Of course it doesn't
have to postpone trade negotiations - but it does have to slow them down. You completely underestimate the extent of Civil Service wide resource being thrown into Coronavirus and the number of sectors that focus is on Coronavirus only. It's a matter of life and death to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of our citizens.
I am absolutely flabbergasted that you claim Coronavirus "doesn't exist" or is "straight forward". How many people have to die, or who has to die, before you accept this isn't "just the flu".
