Should the U.K. pursue free trade deals with other countries?
In 2019 conservative leader Boris Johnson proposed a Brexit agreement with the European Union that would take the U.K. out of the EU’s customs area and give it freedom to diverge from EU regulations. Mr. Johnson’s proposal would allow the UK to sign trade deals with the U.S. and other countries. The Labour Party’s proposal would keep the U.K. within the EU customs territory after Brexit and offer voters the choice of staying in the EU in a second referendum.

Yes, first we should rejoin the European Union and then let them negotiate on our behalf as before, gaining massive leverage
@9C96FHK11mos11MO
Yes but only with strong protections for national resources and workers and strict human rights and fair wages and environmental protections are enacted with each trade deal

Depends on the country.
@96DZ25W2yrs2Y

@93YQY5C2yrs2Y
No, work on reversing damage done by Brexit instead
@93GMFY72yrs2Y
Yes, but only with nations that adhere to strict human rights policies but also ensuring there is no downward pressure on wages and undermining of consumer and environmental protections.
@8FC68664yrs4Y
If both countries agree then yes.
Depends on the country we are importing them from.
@8KN443F4yrs4Y
Yes but not with countries who abuse human rights
@8G8M85S4yrs4Y
Only if manifestly better than trading without a trade deal with no restrictions on sovereignty and no free movement ( except good work visa system for people we need and cannot train)
Don’t know enough about it.
@8CNHWPG4yrs4Y
Yes, but all trade should be free and 'deals' shouldn't be necessary.
@8Y3JSV92yrs2Y
Yes but not with the European union or nato We should trade withwith nato and European union rivals
