Just about all of it, but specifically : Quote But the trade deal will come as a major relief to many British businesses, already reeling from the impact of coronavirus, who feared disruption at the borders and the imposition of tariffs, or taxes on imports. As the deal was announced, Mr Johnson - who had repeatedly said the UK would "prosper mightily" without a deal - tweeted a picture of himself smiling with both thumbs lifted in the air.

Did Boris not tweet a picture of himself? That is the only thing that I can't check since I don't use Twitter. As for the other part, there are many firms that are relieved at the deal. Just about all business groups were expressing relief that a deal was done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Brexit is descending into the shambles that all sensible people foresaw and predicted. To state otherwise is foolhardy and ignorant of the mess Brexit has already caused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) That article is Boris Johnson's reaction to the trade agreement on the day it was agreed. What else are you expecting from it, exactly? It's more than 1200 pages long as well, so if you're expecting someone to have been able to provide some troubleshooting and picking holes in it on the day it was agreed and the ink hasn't dried, that's unrealistic. There's been more than enough articles since, including from the BBC, showing problems with it.

From the Guardian on the same day: Quote A No 10 spokesperson said: “The deal is done. Everything that the British public was promised during the 2016 referendum and in the general election last year is delivered by this deal. “We have taken back control of our money, borders, laws, trade and our fishing waters. The deal is fantastic news for families and businesses in every part of the UK. We have signed the first free trade agreement based on zero tariffs and zero quotas that has ever been achieved.” Johnson tweeted a picture of himself with both thumbs up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 2019 matches, as does 2018. But where are they getting the huge figures for 2012/13? They were pretty much same as 2018/2019. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
