With power struggles within Parliament dominating the headlines, it’s all too easy to forget the bigger picture of our departure from the EU.
Yet, with public consultations opening up about our first bilateral trade agreements, this debate is continuing - though perhaps not getting the attention it deserves.
Today we’re joined by Shanker Singham, Director of the IEA’s International Trade and Competition Unit, and Senior Policy Analyst Dr Radomir Tylecote.
They examine these consultations, what it could mean for business - and what the government should be doing to give firms more certainty and help them prepare for the future.
Finally, they examine public opinion towards free trade.
If recent polling is anything to go by, the public mood is decidedly anti-protectionist - just as it was in the 19th century, when free exchange triumphed over mercantilism in the battle of ideas.
