    More "ignore the experts" drivel from the government, this time Kemi Badenoch. Telling us that CPTPP membership will benefit us more than the paltry 0.08% "boost" to GDP predicted by pretty well all economists. How anyone can think it's beneficial to trade more with countries on the other side of the planet I'll never understand.

    I don't really understand the problem with distance since we're already importing everything from China.
