I wasn't aiming it at you. I was generally suggesting we take any stories about trade deals with a pinch of salt until they're clearly on the path to happening. Everyone needs to adjust their expectations both of the possibility of trade deals and how easy they'll be to implement.

It's what will be in that deal that's important. You can sign a trade deal tomorrow (well, when we're out of the EU) if you're willing to bend over backwards for them.
