    CW: 4/4 Brexit trade: UK food and drink names protected in Japan

    UK names protected in Japan, continued

    DRINK

    THEN (two years ago)—three whisk(e)ys.
    NOW—three whisk(e)ys

    So, none of the promised new protections in two years now.

    Note that in the period, the EU has managed to add 38 protected names to the foods list. #BrexitDividend

    Gee cheers, UK Dept of International Trade for telling it like it is ...

    CW: 1/4 Brexit trade: UK food and drink names protected in Japan

    Last weekend it was “#SwissStyle” trade deal. Today it's “#JapanUK”.

    The British government oversold the deal. Does the trade data now prove that the claims were untrue?

    Lots of comments elsewhere on why the headline is misleading too. "Brexit blow: exports to Japan slump after ‘landmark’ free trade deal" theguardian.com/politics/2022/

    Let’s talk #cheese and #whisky instead.
