Yes, some naysayers will say that 2018 trade to Japan was only 2% of our total trade and that this deal could increase our gdp by 0.07% whilst we'll be losing 5% by leaving but hey, facts never got in the way on this forum before so let's not let them start now.

You are not factoring the increase of trade levels also the financial impact of barrier free trade in financial and services industry between the city and Tokyo, Japan is the 3rd largest economy in the world and we have signed a deal ,with other deals already in the pipe line and continuity deals already signed up britain is going global where all the growth is, eu as a block is the worst preforming trade block

It took the Eu and Japan 8 years to agree their Trade Deal ( EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement) and despite all the doom and gloom from the remoaners about the UK being unable to negotiate deals our Government has concluded a deal is just months. This is just the start.
The UK will be better off with this deal from day 1 because currently goods imported from Japan and sold in the UK will have Vat charged at 20%. Currently the EU take a chunk of that but that is about to end.
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and hopefully America next I for one can't wait.

Why would I take pleasure in increased unemployment, stagnated wages, a lower quality of life, etc just to be able to say “ha, told you so” to the Leave voters?
I hate Johnson and I’m no fan of the Tories but I still hope they’ll be a successful government, watching Johnson flounder and splutter on PMQ or announce another U-turn doesn’t make me happy.
On the surface this sounds like good news, but nothing has been agreed officially and can’t be signed until Jan 1st and the full details haven’t been released yet but hopefully it’s more than just the same deal we’ve already had with Japan for years.

Sorry, I used an incorrect figure. A no deal brexit will lower gdp by around 7.6% not 5%. The deal Boris is 'trying' to get will lower it by 6.7%.
So at least this trade deal will claw back just under a hundredth of what we'll lose by a no deal brexit.

Give it a rest Gina Miller, Brexits done now, the new argument is whether COVID 19 is a real threat or a conspiracy to control the masses!!!

A sensible question.
In rebuttal, the defence presents exhibit A) CCFCJosh1975
His need to be proven right, is why many assume remainers wish to Brexit to fail.
Sadly he is not an isolated case.
