It's the FT so you can expect the usual Remoaner tone.

Facts. That is, without the Remoaner padding.

Liam Fox is publishing his department’s Trade Bill on Tuesday. The legislation aims to set up new structures that Britain will need in order to take charge of its own trade policy after Brexit. The international trade secretary’s bill covers a wide range of issues, such as how the UK will try to roll over trade deals that the EU currently has with more than 60 states

Once the UK has left the EU, however, the British government will have to impose its own trade defence instruments and anti-dumping tariffs.

Other EU members have often taken a tougher line on dumping than we have, certainly when it was China doing the dumping anyway.

If we are going cap in hand to China wanting a deal I doubt you will see us taking strong action the next time they decide to dump some steel on the global market.

It's just a tad ironic for someone from the Trump Administration to refer to the EU as protectionist as well, given their attitude towards free trade.

I have no doubt Wilbur Ross has the best interests of the UK in mind.

I'm sure this will annoy the Remoaners.

In the year after the UK narrowly voted to exit the European Union, there was a small but significant increase in the population's feeling of wellbeing, official statistics show.
The improvements in areas such as life satisfaction and happiness

I'm not making out they affect our relationship with the EU pre-Brexit.

Since making our own trading relationship requires being outside the EU, that means pursuing these new trading relationships jepordises our relationship with the EU. If we can get the best of both worlds, then I'd be all for it; but since I'm not sure we can, I'd rather take trade with or through the EU (79%) over the trade that's independent of the EU (21%).

Your missing the point the 21% is with countries that EU are negotiating with and will not change if we leave. 43% of our trade is with EU the figure is disputed because of Rotterdam effect. The other 56% goes to countries that EU either has a trade agreement with or is not negotiating one with I don't know the proportions.
