I just had to explain to Ann Widdecombe that Japan is a little further than 2000 miles away, and that the countries within 2000 miles of us ARE EU COUNTRIES!
Why are these people so bad at geography!?

P.S. We signed a "continuity" trade deal with Switzerland & Liechtenstein but:
a) In both GDP and trade volume, they're about 4% of the EU.
b) That 4% will fall, because if there's No-Deal, Swiss trade falls due to basic geography and mutual recognition agreements will fail too.

I calculated that 4% figure from the 31 billion in trade the government said we do with Switzerland when they announced the agreement.
Well today, that same government said the borders are ***** in January. So exporting to Switzerland might not be as easy.

So the more accurate question would be "Name a country that doesn't have any trade deals with over 95% of the GDP within 2000miles?" but it doesn't have the same ring to it.
And if Switzerland is your last line of defence against admitting you committed economic suicide...😬
