"seriously"
You can lie and say its good news
What value does "seriously" good news add?
Would you tell us non-serious good news?

Cost of brexit:
Ā£2bn DUP bung
>Ā£4.4bn brexit prep cost (so far)
Ā£170bn BOE stimulus (so far)
>Ā£130bn lost growth (so far)
Ā£39bn liabilities
Japan deal Ā£1.5bn per year boost to GDP
So
Ā£345 bn(roughly) of damage
vs
Ā£1.5bn

A reminder of course
"DIT estimated the 2019 EU-Japan trade deal would add somewhere between Ā£2.1 billion and Ā£3.0 billion to annual GDP after 15 years in 2017 prices, relative to a scenario where no deal was agreed. " https://fullfact.org/economy/uk-japan-trade-benefits/">https://fullfact.org/economy/u...

So an EU-Japan trade deal
Would have brought Ā£2.1bn - Ā£3bn benefit to annual GDP after 15 years
The Ā£1.5bn figure that is used as specified below:
"Itās worth clarifying that these benefits are relative to 2018 when the UK (as part of the EU) had no FTA with Japan."

Now you can lie to yourself and tell yourself that is "good news"
Lying to yourself is bad enough
The contempt you have for people who fall for those lies
Well.....

"our nation at its best"
I would love Adam to explain what he means by best
If it is our best
Why does his party seek to hide brexit within coronavirus?
