The Conservative manifesto in 2019 read like this: "Our goals for British trade are... ambitious.We aim to have 80% of UK trade covered by free trade agreements within the next three years, starting with the USA."In truth the likelihood of such a full fat agreement, on that timeframe in particular, was probably pretty small, and it's been very small for as long as President Joe Biden has been in the White House - a reality acknowledged by Boris Johnson and Liz Truss as well as Rishi Sunak.
