Maybe he thinks that you have more leverage when you have no trade deal whatsoever.

The deal is 6 times bigger than the UKs recent one.
Sounds as if it’s all thanks to Donnie’s wonderful tariffs again, as this deal has taken almost 20 years to finalise.
His deliberate fostering of Global instability has actually created pathways for others to stabilise their economic futures.
And yeah, Brexit truly sucking again.

It's almost incredible that a large trading bloc with experienced negotiators would get a bigger trade deal than a single 'middle power' country, isn't it?

But we have six times more sovereignty. You "lefties" still really don't get the whole Brexit thing.
I actually pay my mortgage now with sovereignty, via Direct Debit.

I have some sovereigns. Does that count? 😂

Yes, but all gold has to be offered as a blessing to Mr N. Farage as he is the King of Brexit. You need to post them to him forthwith 😂

No, but if they wanted to lean on India about trading with Russia then they might have been able to do it better while they were negotiating. You know, offer something in return, or refuse something if they don't play ball...

Just so you know what you arguing. The EU's quota for cars will be six times the size of the UK's quota. The EU currently produces around 15 times as many cars as the UK.
The UK's deal with India includes some provisions for services. The UK exports lots of services.
Two deals by two trading blocks that target things they are good at.

Are you saying that the EU haven't necessarily got a better deal despite the automatic assumption by some that they must have done? Get your flame suit on.

I'm suggesting the EU has got a better deal for the EU, and the UK has got a better deal for the UK.

OK, though it's just possible that the EU might have taken on board the UK's strengths too had we still been in the EU. As it was, they could (and probably did) ignore that completely... or even tried to get one up on the UK.

It's far more likely that both the UK and the EU have better deals than they would if they were still the same trading bloc. This comes at the cost of UK-EU trade.

That sounds like a counter argument in itself.

I'd imagine the Indian asks off the EU and off the UK would be different in regard to visas for their people.
