UK on verge of creating biggest trading block in the world

Only 1% of the UK's trade is with Australia, it probably won't grow that much if some tariffs are reduced.

There seems to be a lot of people who talk our economy down, other than having a vested interest (ie, international trading on the stock market), anyone else is just an idiot. Osbourne springs to mind.

It was said on the radio this morning that JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley have gone on record as saying they were wrong to say the UK would fall into recession post brexit vote. They seem to be talking the economy up now.

Maybe because most thought article 50 would be invoked straight away?

I'm not sure anyone expected it would be done straight away. Regardless the effects are priced in now.

My old man reckons that before Britain joined the EEC, all our butter used to come from Australia and it was delicious. When we joined it all got replaced with German butter which was disgusting by comparison. Looking forward to getting butter from down under again

Who really won the war? Ay? Ay? Amirite?

New Zealand butter > Australian butter (same with wine, chocolate and most food).

This deal will be massive for the UK economy. We wont need the EU free market anymore. Think of the 1000's of billion this will be worth. Will make the UK the largest economy in the world.
