A trade deal meant to showcase the trading prowess of Brexit Britain no longer looks like such a triumph.
The announcement this week of a free trade agreement between the EU and Australia has twisted the knife.
A particularly sore point was that the U.K. deal with Australia
— struck just 12 months after the U.K. formally exited the EU in 2021

The architect of the London Eye wants to build a vast tidal power station in a 14-mile arc off the coast of Somerset
that could help Britain meet surging electricity demand to power artificial intelligence – and create a new race track to let cyclists skim over the Bristol Channel.
