UK signs its first post-Brexit trade deal with Japan 🇯🇵🇬🇧
Boasts "additional benefits" beyond what EU had agreed in its deal "tailored to the UK economy"
UK-Japan deal offering greater benefits on data ("far beyond" the EU deal), financial services, and goods - such as English sparkling wine, and - yes - pork and cheese
Truss: "This is a historic moment for the UK and Japan as our first major post-Brexit trade deal. The agreement we have negotiated goes far beyond the existing EU deal, as it secures new wins for British businesses in our great manufacturing, food and drink, and tech industries."

Farage writes that he has "had enough of [Theresa May's] lies, deceit and treachery. The time has come to teach them a lesson - one that they will never forget."
