Express predicts ‘five-star’ year of trade as EU is ‘watches on with envy’

Ministers hope to double UK exports to £1 trillion by 2030. Do they realise David Cameron promised the same thing in 2012?

An Express report predicting a “five-star” year of trade in Britain has left people rubbing their eyes in disbelief this week.

The right-wing newspaper said ministers are preparing to seize the huge opportunities from a “seismic shift” on the world stage as trade secretaryAnne-Marie Trevelyan unveiled her plans at the Margaret Thatcher Conference on Trade.

“She will highlight how post-Brexit Britain is shifting its focus to nations in the Indo-Pacific,” it noted, “with emerging economies in the region projected to surpass the economic size of G7 during the 2030s.”

The Express said the deals will be put in place as the “EU watches on with envy”, with ministers hoping the UK will double its exports to £1 trillion worth of goods and services by 2030 (a target David Cameron first set as prime minister in 2012!).

It overlooks falling levels of trade with our biggest export partner, which according to Emily Thornberry, is the only way the government will achieve that target.

“Mending our trade with Europe must be the priority,” she said. “That target cannot be achieved unless the government gets its head out of the sand, fixes the holes in their botched Brexit deal, and helps our exporters recover their trade with the UK’s biggest market.”

Earlier this week it was revealed that Northern Ireland’s economy outperformed all other UK nations and regions due to Brexit.

It raises concerns about a “two-speed UK” – where different things happen in Northern Ireland compared to the rest of Great Britain.

And not in a good way!

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
