You’d have thought ministers would have wanted to celebrate the UK signing the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. After all, it’s been a while since there’s been any good news and the country could do with some cheering up. All we get to hear is how Rishi Sunak isn’t meeting any of his five priorities.

I mean, how often does the government get to boast about agreeing a deal that could boost GDP by as much as 0.08%? Just an accounting error away from actually costing the UK 0.08%. Imagine the excitement of joining a trading group on the other side of the world and paying for the privilege! That’s the kind of Brexit bonus we can all get behind.
