Global supply chains mean all countries, even the US, have to engage with others. That's the good news, the bad is that nostalgia for the 'good old days' of domestic production isn't going away either. One of many political tensions in trade... borderlex.net/2023/12/22/perโ€ฆ

Not overly sympathetic actually. Sooner the UK introduces the normal border checks for products coming from the EU, sooner we can move to understanding the full extent of post Brexit checks and in turn what we can do about them. Hard to do that in a position of limbo.

Looking forward to the realistic political debate about how the UK deals with the issues we face. Must happen at some time?

Genuinely bewildering how this penny doesnโ€™t drop. Itโ€™s actually a deeply cultural-political problem. The top of the UKโ€™s political and bureaucratic machinery just doesnโ€™t intersect enough with the world that moves things and makes things.

'India could lower duties on goods and services sharply' is a slightly worrying phrase given there are no tariffs on services because if you could India probably would...

NB though tariffs on wine from Australia came down in that FTA, it makes little difference to prices...

Whilst there are legitimate qs about student visa misuse, never forget UK Universities are major exporters, and level up the UK. International students at the Unis of Sunderland, Huddersfield, Portsmouth etc are spending money locally and bringing prosperity.

Since itโ€™s that time of year again, 12 end-of-year and start-of-new-year thoughts about Russiaโ€™s war against Ukraine and its implications. A long ๐Ÿงต

To quote Brenda: 'Oh no! Not another one?'

Another UK trade minister?

1. MoUs are small in content and non-binding.

2. What have the GDPs of the states got to do with it? If I agree to talk to someone from Tesco is that a big 'trade pact' because Tesco's revenue is ยฃ60bn?
