Either @LiamHalligan is a fool or he takes everyone else for a fool. #Brexit #CPTPP

[Liam Halligan @LiamHalligan]

The CPTPP is a trade agreement between 11 "Pacific Rim” nations – including Japan, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, plus Mexico and Peru.

With Britain joining, CPTPPP will account for 16% of global GDP, same as EU 27.

By 2050 though, on World Bank forecasts, CPTPP will account for almost a quarter of the world economy, the EU27 just a tenth.

Makes a lot of sense for a huge service-sector exporter like the UK to be part of a bloc primed for fast growth.

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins All you've done is played UK as a victim of imaginary indiscriminate SPS checks which you can't back up but will continue to believe regardless because that myth is comforting to you.

UK signed WA/NIP and then backslided on it.

I never claimed EU was "beautiful and perfect".

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins The EU didn't cause the issues. The UK failed to abide by what it agreed and signed up to in the WA/NIP. The UK was a fundamentally unreliable partner during the Johnson/Truss years. The WF was necessary to draw a line in the sand of the issues they had caused during those years.

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins Items coming into Rotterdam are mostly bulk commodities, not mixed pallets of retail foods like GB->NI.

And no, they are figures for pre-WF SPS checks, not the post-WF checks now. The article was written a year before WF was agreed.

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins They are not UK's SPS check rates. That is AI slop.

High-risk items have 100% physical checks.
Medium-risk have 1–30%
Low-risk have 0%

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins It's your victimhood assertion that there's a disproportionate amount. You prove it. Such claims have already been shown to be misleading and unsubstantiated.

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins Same checks as GB has entering EU.

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins Yes. There's no EU SPS agreements with them.

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins Wrong. Without an SPS agreement documentation checks are 100% and physical checks are 15–30% on chilled meat and dairy.

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins UK chose to go from Swiss style to third country style meaning documentary and physical checks and certain items banned. NI remains in SM for goods so those SPS checks happen GB->NI just as they do GB->EU.

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins You never read the NIP did you? SPS checks are part of the deal and the importation of certain chilled and minced meats GB->NI would no longer be allowed after an initial grace period (sans an EU-UK SPS agreement covering them). UK agreed to this in WA.

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins They did as I already told you two tweets up (Northern Ireland Protocol Bill). Do you have dementia?

What NTBs were turned up to 11? Be specific.

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins UK signed an agreement and then went about trying to renege on it.

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins You're not the sharpest tool in the box are you?

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins If they had wouldn't you have been able to back it up by now?

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins Neither did the EU. Does it make you feel better to imagine it did?

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins You literally said the EU did exactly that which the UK didn't do which was "walk away from signing the TCA looking for ways to make it as bad as possible for the other party".

[Geeza. @romfordgeeza]

@statsandthings @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins We didn’t walk away from signing the TCA looking for ways to make it as bad as possible for the other party.

The EU did exactly that, for childish reasons. I get you supported them in that. Which if you are British, means you are a traitor.

[stats and things @statsandthings]

@romfordgeeza @johnmfitzp @RebelHQ @BBCRosAtkins Again, you're going off on tangents I didn't ask you about. The EU didn't walk away.
