where it's broken to the Brexit bloke that the EU would have an effective veto over a UK / Japanese trade deal
I think for clarity he meant the Canada deal, CETA, he tweeted about it later in the day.

I don't think you need to apologise for this. It's not like anyone knows the answer, and apparently the Tories aren't asking it, or attempting to solve it.
It's the same as the NI advice isn't it, which was to 'Ask Dublin'. Those papers published yesterday seemed apocalyptic to me - death knells to so many industries apart from 'Export Brokers', but don't seem to have been picked up as such this morning.
I listened to this just now:

It's the guy sat in the middle in the 'Three blokes in the pub' video talking with a common or garden Leaver. At around 7:30 there's an great reaction on a Japanese trade deal from the Gammon he's arguing with (where it's broken to the Brexit bloke that the EU would have an effective veto over a UK / Japanese trade deal).
Depressing how ill informed they are, and nice to hear him being called out as such (literally being asked 'have you read the trade agreement you're talking about, because I have'). Not that it'll make a difference.
