What is going on with post-Brexit trade deals?

I keep seeing news articles featuring the absolute force of nature that is Liz Truss (lol) announcing trade deal after deal and using really great Brexity inspiring words like.... world-beating, buccaneering and trailblazing. What I don’t see though is any kind of joined up strategy that has direction and focus.

I get it that the Government needs to be shouting about Brexit “wins” but shouldn’t they be economic wins that are based on an actual strategy that is focused and targeted? Shouldn’t the Government and U.K. business have some kind of long term plan around which these trade deals are negotiated? Listening to Liz Truss this morning on LBC made me think that these trade deals are being negotiated without any kind of background strategy.

Post Brexit what are the economic strengths of the U.K.? How can those strengths be promoted by the U.K. Govt and shouldn’t the U.K. Govt have a plan to grab market share for what we are good at?

This all reeks of gaslighting in its most dangerous form. Sign the deal - we will sort the details later.

Is the term "economic strength" and the word "Brexit" even compatible.

Not if trade deals are being signed without an underlying trade policy.

From what has been made public, the Australia deal in percentage terms is even more asymmetric than our former deal with the EU. The reported economic gain is an anticipated 0.01% of GDP and agricultural and food exports are a huge win for Australia, whilst it threatens to destabilise U.K. farming and agriculture.

I don’t see any joined up policy that is geared to the U.K. making acceptable sacrifices on the one hand in areas where we maybe aren’t that good, against driving for wins in areas where we are good and can grow.

No deal is better than a bad deal. This is a bad deal because it was made in a hurry and in desperation.

Does the U.K. even have a trade policy or is that something that this Government would find too detailed to consider?

How is that relevant?

All businesses have a plan and the agreements that they enter into are based on the business plan to drive the business forwards.

Why would any business sign up to an agreement with a supplier for things they don’t need if the deal did not help them progress their own business in a different domain?

I get the feeling the Government's only strategic aim is trade deals, irrespective of the details of them, if they help or hinder us I think the main drive is just signing them.
