'The Government’s estimates indicate that the economic benefits of the agreement are likely to be very small. The Government’s scoping assessment, carried out before the negotiations started, showed a negligible (0.00%) impact on UK GDP. This assessment suggested that an agreement with New Zealand could have a negative impact on the agriculture and semi-processed food sectors and on Northern Ireland.'
The New Zealand based news programme Newshub recently had a segment on the deal struck with the UK which will see kiwi meat imported into Britain without tariffs.
New Zealand television is completely mystified by the amazing #Brexit trade deal Liz Truss keeps boasting about. They can’t understand why she would want to make British farmers poorer and theirs richer. Even the winning side can’t fathom it. ???????pic.twitter.com/sNiOoNl2gu

So much for the “vast opportunities” Truss was promising Brexit would bring.
Indeed, those opportunities are so great that even the winning side in this deal seemed to be struggling to grapple with why anybody would put it into place.
The deal will see a quota of tariff-free lamb exported to the UK increase sharply over the next 15 years and then it becomes a “free for all,” as the reporter explained.
Truss struck deals with both New Zealand and Australia when she was appointed trade secretary by Boris Johnson in July 2019 and oversaw them until she was made Foreign Secretary in September 2021.
The reporter continued: “While the deal is expected to boost New Zealand’s GDP by $970 million or around 0.3%, the impact on Britain’s economy is expected to be negligible.”
And all this, a trade deal organised by a candidate who wrote in their Telegraph column on Tuesday that “I am the only candidate with a clear and credible plan for economic growth”. (AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)
You wonder why someone whose running for a position where you’re meant to do your best for the country would brag about a deal set to make those living in it POORER whilst farmers millions of miles away profit.'
LTI, it seems it is you who are 'clueless'.

'More than 5,000 supporters of a far-right extremist group have joined the Conservative party in recent weeks, attracted by what they describe as Boris Johnson’s negative attitude towards Islam.
About two-thirds of the 7,500 signed-up members of the openly anti-Islam Britain First have joined the Tories since the general election, the group says.'
'It certainly is. Calling Tories the "far right" just goes to show his ignorance.' GateBoy (the all knowing)
'Lord Evans of Weardale, who led Britain’s domestic security service between 2006 and 2013, suggested that the threat of far-right terrorism in Britain could be diminishing following Boris Johnson’s election victory a few months earlier.
The supposed blunting of that threat was not, he said, because the ideological extremism which sustains the far-right was fading away. Instead it was because many of the “alienated” voters who are usually sucked into the British National Party (BNP) or English Defence League (EDL) felt as if their voices had been heard at the ballot box after the Conservative victory the previous December.
“Whatever you think of the outcome of the recent election in the UK, the fact that some of the legitimate concerns that were being used as a pretext by English nationalists have now been formally acknowledged at the ballot box might be a good outcome, even though it is sort of disconcerting for southern liberals,” the former MI5 director general – now a crossbench peer – said.
“There was a significant alienated and disenfranchised group out there who didn’t think the system was taking any notice of them. And that’s where you need to be concerned about extremists exploiting legitimate concerns.
“Disaffected English nationalists were manifesting themselves at the extremes in things like the British National Party and National Action, which fed the undertone that articulated itself as extreme rightwing terrorism.”
In the weeks after the election, it emerged that more than 5,000 supporters of far-right group Britain First – whose leaders were jailed for hate crimes against Muslims in 2018 had joined the Conservatives. “We will support a party that is willing to take a firm stance against radical Islam and it looks like the Tories are willing to do that,” the organisation’s spokeswoman said.'
Corbyn said he would respect the will of the people and even offered a vote on the type of Brexit deal.
Starmer is a toe rag.
The Tories shafted the country with their Brexit (which was their intention all along).
Haven't they just.
They've run the country into the ground and lined their pockets whilst doing so.
On the plus side Liz Truss has just polled as the wort PM ever (to think she's outdone Johnson already!).
The game IS up. BYE BYE TORIES (what a shame all we can offer is Starmer).
