Answer: not well.
1.) “As we leave the European Union, we want to negotiate a new deep and special partnership with the EU, which will allow free trade between the U.K. and EU member states.”

Verdict: largely failed. Of the 40 EU trade deals we are party to right now, Liam Fox’s DIT has so far only agreed 6 “continuity deals.”
