    We haven't had to negotiate trade deals for several decades, so we may not have very experienced negotiators. Maybe we should consider outsourcing this. Maybe the EU could lend us their team?

        Under the new deal, the UK and Japan have agreed to the “free flow of data” by not enforcing localisation requirements. This will allow Japanese conglomerates like Sony, and British fintech firms, such as Revolut and Transferwise, to operate from offshore servers.

              She's also one of those who have swapped sides to further her own aims:
