    UK not ‘match fit’ for trade talks with New Zealand

    “ New Zealand is “very frustrated” at the slow progress being made in striking a post-Brexit trade deal with the UK, the country’s deputy prime minister said today.

    In a forthright assessment of the UK government’s capacity to negotiate new trading relationships, Winston Peters told Times Radio that the UK was not “match fit”.

    He attacked Theresa May for not investing enough effort into rebuilding trading links with countries such as Australia and New Zealand and allowing “inertia” to set in.”

          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                We've left. This is no longer about Brexit. This is a discussion on a trade deal the excellent UK Tory government is trying to negotiate with a weaker trade partner

                  Let's hope we don't have trouble negotiating a trade deal with the mighty Tonga or San Marino...
