Good news. https://mobile.twitter.com/Jefferson_MFG/status/1389506676911390721Very good news.But not according to the Office For National Statistics. Where has this report got it's figures from?https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/manufacturing-productionBizarre how these alternative facts get bandied round. According to ONS data, manufacturing output didn't grow at all in December and shrank by 1.8% in January. By March, which as far as I can see is the last official ONS data, it was still 3% down on Feb 2020. But yeah, believe your alternative facts if you want.

Are you claiming to know more about UK manufacturing PMI figures than CIPS Billy? Or maybe you’re not googling the correct data Billy?
nothing wrong with point of view hound, you have one, everyone has one but the more fact it's based on the better it is. as my squash coach used to say, 'the more you practice the luckier you get'
No selby the trade figures for China would NOT be included in the figures for India-EU
Here are some trade figures for India-EU''The EU is India's largest trading partner, accounting for €80 billion worth of trade in goods in 2019 or 11.1% of total Indian trade, on par with the USA and ahead of China (10.7%)''https://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/countries-and-regions/countries/india/#:~:text=Trade%20picture,the%20total)%20after%20the%20USA.
HA, I read somewhere, maybe part of that article that the UK has rollover deals in place with most if not all the countries traded with via the EU, which must I presume have to be renegotiated to incorporate the new circumstances.
Barnier has just published his diaries, so we'll know a lot more about the title of this thread over the next few weeks or so.''Tory quarrels determined UK’s post-Brexit future, says BarnierRevealed: EU chief negotiator’s diaries, The Great Illusion, give blow-by-blow account of moves behind UK’s departure''https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/05/tory-quarrels-betrayals-uk-post-brexit-future-barnier-eu

So, would I be right in thinking that, initially at least, the trade deal with India would be based on a similar value to the UK’s contribution to the EU-India trade deal?

Barnier''In the early hours of Christmas Eve - the very day the Trade and Cooperation Agreement was sealed - Mr Barnier describes the British unexpectedly serving up a dish of revised fish quotas as "a text riddled with pitfalls, false compromises and flashbacks"looks like they wanted talks to fail? thankfully they didn't and an agreement was reached, well sort of.Warships ..................... don't forget there's an election
