Australia loved this deal. Great terms for Australia due to the Tories being prepared to get reamed as long as they had a trade deal to wave about.

Hilariously Australia's greatest concession was relaxing working holiday visa regulations. Given we desperately need people to pick our produce, in places Australian's generally don't want to live, which is very hard work for not great money it was another bonus for Australia.
Yes it was good deal for Australia, nothing in it for the UK. The EU have signed a much better deal with NZ than the UK did but the Australia/EU discussions collapsed a few months ago.

Had been shipping to Australia since the early 90s and it was the most pain in the a*se country to ship to after India. Especially as the UK love red tape so much.

The UK are/were desperate for anything and have now got their hopes pinned on the CPTPP and India which will be worthless to them. These countries want to sell to the UK not buy from them.

It’s somewhat ironic that the U.K. go cap in hand to India begging them to buy their products after what colonial Britain did to that region

Yes, but the Brexit mob like Mogg and co., because of their exceptionalism, think they these 'developping countries' are interested in buying British products. What has the UK got that they want to buy? If they want and can afford 'western goods' they'll buy from nearer to home like Japan or Australia plus they want to develop their own industries, which is why they are called developping countries.

So the Brexit mob - first started shouting WTO WTO WTO, then it was No Deal No Deal No Deal and now Its CPTPP CPTPP CPTPP , not having a clue what the consequences of this was and believing all the bs from people like Mogg, Truss, Widdecombe , Badenoch -the list goes on.

One day reality will hit although they won't admit it.
