German car manufacturers are dying

🇪🇺 Crucial to living in #EU is that Australian beef MUST meet strict quality, traceability and hygiene standards. I can trust it. Since #UK committed #Brexit, brits have to blindly trust whatever supermarkets say. Often only a general UK packing station no. and a 🇬🇧 flag. Hormone, antibiotic checks?

But what about the pork markets? A DISGRACE.

They manifestly did not because they pushed back on this very hard until the last minute. Also, the FTA has been in place for years. Does your beef feel inexpensive?

The Johnson government didn't think they just wanted a "deal". Even "Useless" George Eustice the DEFRA Secretary at the time the deal was made said in the commons only months later that it had been bad deal for UK farmers (not just the beef - other areas too).

Nice! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austral...

Apparently, Johnson gave up more han he had to because he was both desperate and didn't care in order to get his deal with them.

Truss and Johnson were so woefully inept. 😡

Are cows now extinct in Europe?

What’s the protocol for renegotiations?

You'd need to cancel it before joining the customs union.

Was this not a Truss gig? Turn up like David Davis with a notepad and wing it. And like wearing mirror glasses to a poker tournament, got cleaned out.

Gosh who knew, trade experts like you did and even people like me realised if I'm buying 500 cakes I'll get a better deal than someone buying 60.

Debate in Australia is that we should have got more for farmers.

To put that figure into perspective, UK domestic beef production last year was 937,000 tonnes. If your policy objective is driving down meat consumption then, as you say, a tax on all beef and not very selective tariffs is the way to do it.

Who'd be a British farmer?

Brexit benefits - for Australia

"Brexit will be a Titanic success." Boris "Ed Smith" Johnson

And we have to keep Rob Key in post for at least 5 Ashes😟

but tories are defending british farmers! I read it in the dailymail.

I like steak

The trade deal between the UK and Australia is not a problem for us, or an impediment to closer relations with the EU. It has a notice period of six months.

Oh, how they laughed youtu.be/_J5Pds9M8d0?...

Didn't we get some.. biscuits? I seem to remember Johnson hailing this..."win"

Clearly inspired by ' The Art of The Deal'.

The then Business & Trade Secretary, Kemi Badenoch, proudly announced: “Today is a historic moment as our first trade deals to be negotiated post-Brexit come into effect. Businesses up and down the country will now be able *to reap the rewards of our status as an independent trading nation.* ” 🤔🧐🤨

£4.3bn a week or 8% of our GDP. What’s that then?

Remind me, what’s a foot in english? Just trying to visualise your useful analogy. 🇪🇺 A standardised set of measurements across a marketplace of 500million does help. When #UK rejoins 🇪🇺 it might be useful to upgrade to metric. #RejoinEU.

1⅔ miles, queued nose to tail or about 11 days supply.

Just more glaring evidence how f**king inept lil england really is, cocking it up for the whole UK 🤦🏼‍♂️

Conservatives good for farmers??

Saving that tank of red diesel for another jolly to London to whinge about having to pay taxes again

More proof, if any were needed, that the UK’s Brexit ‘sovereignty’ is less than worthless.

Is it correct to say " Oopsie"...
