Agreements reached with China this weekend, including [...] agri-food exports, are worth 600 million pounds [...] over the next five years for the British economy, Reeves said.

The UK lost more than 27bn pounds in trade within the first 2 (not 5) years after Brexit, while the pound lost ~20 percent in the same period against the euro and the US dollar.

And I would say the UK has more common ground with the EU. It is geographically closer, has long-standing economic and historical ties, while the EU supports Ukraine instead of Russia and doesn't run concentration camps.

Would love to hear what Ms. Reeves, a Brexit supporter, has to say about that.
