The UK has stopped its trade talks with Canada, after nearly two years of negotiations on a post-Brexit agreement.

Trade between the two countries currently takes place under the terms of a deal the UK rolled over from its time as an EU member.

A time-limited agreement allowed the UK to continue to sell cars and cheese without high import taxes.

But talks about extending these as part of a new deal have now broken down.

It marks the first time the UK has formally suspended talks with a trade partner since formally leaving the EU trading regime in 2021.

    The UK can’t have their cake and eat it too. They wanted Brexit, now they have to live with the consequences. Sorry, not sorry.

      They aren’t sorry either, and also don’t need to worry about carcinogenic hormones and hormone byproducts in their beef too.
