    They will never ever get a trade deal that would be politically acceptable to their voters. The agri stuff the US would insist on will unite the Mail with the Guardian, a full scale deal never happen.

      Give it a few more months of cost of living crisis and animal welfare will slide down nicely for discussions to be feasible. The Mail will support it as long as its demographic can buy wholesome British food and the paupers can live on the foreign muck...

        They have given up on even negotiating in any meaningful way, as they accept that they have nothing to offer

          This is a list of lost opportunties. Can't help but think they don't matter to the majority of people who voted Leave, though

                          Interesting that Truss has agreed to participate in the newly-established European Political Community - admittedly, it does encompass practically every European country other than Russia and Belarus (bar the micro-states), and can hardly be expected to agree on foreign policy when the EU itself finds that impossible, but perhaps in time the UK will tiptoe back towards closer relations with Brussels.

                            Enough to make you vote for Brexit

                              He has previous in his dealings with Catalan nationalism, so hardly surprising.

                                "hardly surprising" that the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the EU Commission is an out and out racist? you seem singularly relaxed about it

                                      Interesting England and Wales census statistics on migration - the number of Irish-born residents has fallen by 20%, from 407,000 to 325,000, yet along with the increases from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, there have also been notable rises from Italy, Poland and Romania, so Brexit appears to have exerted zero influence on statistics.

                                        Seems that Truss's trade negotiations as Trade Secretary were a match for her fiscal policy as Prime Minister.

                                              Looks like Sunak wants his Emmenthal, and to eat it, too.

                                                I have to say i love the sunlight of shade throwing in that OBR report. The very first paragraph of the forward states:

                                                Our twenty-sixth Economic and fiscal outlook (EFO) has been unusual in both the time it took to
                                                produce and the process leading to its publication. With the agreement of the Treasury, we started
                                                work on this forecast earlier than usual on 29 July, three weeks after Boris Johnson resigned as
                                                Prime Minister. We did this to ensure that his successor and their Chancellor would have an up-to-
                                                date picture of economic and fiscal prospects upon appointment in early September and to be in a
                                                position to publish a forecast alongside any potential fiscal event later that month. In the 16 weeks
                                                since then, we have produced seven forecast rounds under three Prime Ministers and three
                                                Chancellors, working towards three official forecast dates. And this final published forecast reflects
                                                policies announced in five major fiscal statements since March.
