There are advantages and disadvantages in any trade deal, but overall any trade deal must work for us. The relatively small downsides in these two deals are outweighed by the real objectives of these trade deals - ie the £9 trillion Trans Pacific bloc.

I was referring to the general tone of many posts on here from your good self and others, Andrew. I am not impressed by the practice of extracting all the negative reports from the media and promoting them as if all the news was bad. Just as in your email above, you highlighted those relatively minor points without recognising the overarching objective, which will be very positive indeed for the UK.
