Boris Johnson hails trade deal with Australia: 'This will be good news'

The UK has agreed the outline of a trade deal with Australia, with Boris Johnson promising the deal 'will benefit British farmers' and contain strict rules on animal welfare.

Speaking alongside Scott Morrison at No 10 on Tuesday, the leader said: 'It will be good news for British car manufacturers, it will be good news for British services, for British financial services, and it will be good news for the agricultural sector on both sides'

Boris: What are you going to wear today?
Scott: Same as you.

The sneering types are broadly correct that trade deals do not add greatly to GDP. That's because 85% of the UK economy is entirely domestic. But their hypocrisy does not go unnoticed, as they were so busy telling us how vital the trade deal that was EU membership was.

If only the UK was a Liberal democracy. Well we were once, losing it now though..

[curtiscarpenter]

Britain's role in G7, commonwealth, UN, and any other cannot be understated, to be liberal to be free thinking, to be understood economically and in all our interests is what the UK needs.

Australians love Britain and visa versa 😍

Movement of people, eh? Maybe the Aussies would like to work on British farms then since there seems to be a lack of staff. As long as those farms are around, that it.

If these two are supposed to be the leaders of two great so-called democracies, no wonder the Chinese can't stop laughing.

Deal? We need mass robotization of construction and 3d printing of houses by robots. People all over the world expect this from politicians. This is more important.

A trade deal between the UK and Australia will deliver minimal benefit to the UK economy while posing significant risks to UK farmers, industry leaders and trade experts have warned.

'movement of people, goods and services. this is what underpins advanced economies'...is Morrison trolling Boris?
