Dear Friends,

At PMQs earlier, I pressed the government on how exactly the Free Trade Area they’re now proposing post-Chequers will work in practice, especially if there are no plans to include our service industries, and no technology in place to track goods coming in through the UK to their ultimate destination or apply differential tariffs depending where the goods will end up. But before all that, I took the opportunity to have some fun at the government’s expense, telling them they could learn a thing or two from watching Gareth Southgate’s England team. You can see the video here.

Best wishes,
