Post-Brexit trade deals
I have been saying for the past couple of years that we should have no worries about agreeing trade deals once we have left the EU.
Nevertheless, the prophets of doom on here still insist that we shall struggle to obtain such deals and, even if we do, they will take years to sort out.
Well, here's some welcome news:

The Australian foreign secretary is urging us to get on with Brexit and assures us that "an Australia-UK free trade deal was ready to be signed "as soon as circumstances allow".
Contrary to what I hear from some of our Australian members, she adds "The Foreign Minister praised Britain as a trusted ally, citing a recent poll in her country, where 90 percent of Australias ranked the UK as "the most trustworthy country" in the world."
And, in a swipe to certain British politicians, Ms Bishop said she "looked forward to a time when the UK feels free to make statements beyond those issued by the European Union". (May please take note!)
What an encouraging article, and I am of the firm belief that Australia is not the only country queuing up to join us in mutually beneficial trade after we are, once again, a free nation.
I now look forward to an onslaught, particularly from those (no names, of course) who automatically disagree with what I say!
