BREXIT BENEFITS

Back in March before his untimely demise, @TerraOrBust was challenged to provide TEN #Brexit benefits.

The following list was written over the course of a lunch break, with more added in the coming weeks for good measure.

Then published by The Express :-)

1/ From a trade deal perspective, the UK previously had access to around 40 trade deals, as part of EU membership - something it paid billions a year for.

We have now replicated all but 2 of those deals (Montenegro and Algeria) so no longer have to pay ยฃยฃยฃs each year for them
2/ Sticking with trade deals - since leaving the EU we have improved the rolled over deals with Japan, Singapore and Ukraine, and have completely new deals with Australia and New Zealand. With more to come.

We would not have these deals right now, if we had stayed inside the EU.
