This week it was announced that Britain had officially joined the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. This is a major grouping for Britain to join post-Brexit, but it's on the other side of the world; so is it pointless?

How many times did Jack say CPTPP? Well, here's a super cut of every attempt (including many mistakes) twitter.com/tldrjack/status/1642105754332143616?t=rMScPFP1JRc24-UdrKlPsw&s=19
Say CPTPP one more time please ! 😂
This is absolutely amazing

Congrats for saying CPTPP so many times without slipping up
I support that, i can barely say it while looking at it

C what??
It sounded like a storm trooper gun fight I kept ducking every time they said it
Amazing skills tbh. They really need a shorter name & acronym! 😂
Wait, so does this mean we will now have to follow a bunch of regulations set by a non democratic bureaucracy that are enforced by a foreign court?
I see what you did there😉
And joined without "consent of the people"
Nigel's going to be raging
Ohhh i get it, its like being part of the eu 🙃
No, the cptpp is far more flexible than the EU and does not impose regulatory standards or regulations across the board, only on product being traded
0.08% GDP growth over 10 years. Great deal. Very good
The UK has just escaped a recession by a similar margin.
EU is laughing
That's right now, it'll grow a lot more by then plus it's inevitable that the UK & EU will have a larger trade agreement, maybe a customs deal like what Turkey has

from what I'm seeing this is kind of like a shite attempt at BRICS from the US. oh nevermind, the part of the video just explained it was started by a US president to try force China to uphold mental US IP laws & regulations (i.e, more privatisation). the same type of IP laws that gets internet archive shut down, and will make life saving medication cost a fortune. so it's a shit BRICS that has had an even worse impact than originally projected. just as expected of the UK tories to commit to another sinking ship like they did with leaving the EU. what an absolute joke 😂😂
I see a lot of similaties between the CPTPP and the EEC as it was called. The word 'progressive' also speaks volumes about its future intentions.
Biggest argument for Brexit. To stop Westminster deflecting blame.
Shame usa isnt in this deal. We badly need one with them. Its insane that theyre out closest ally yet no trade deal.
Actually, if CPTPP is purely an economic alliance it could have better succes than EU (which insists to be an ideological one as well, thus making it almost inpossible for a country to be conservative even if its people vote so).
It really is a fight for Tories to get anything positive out of Brexit, no matter how small, just so they don't have to admit that they fucked up.

Negotiated for the UK and not by the UK, there is a distinct difference and a very important one.

- There is THE SINGLE MARKET in the UE. You sell on the same terms to someone from another country as to your neighbor in the local market. There's literally no differences. There are only diffirences concerning consumer right, but not as much differing from general EU minimum standards. GB lost its status. They can sell without duty, but all responsibilities, treatment and paper work are almost the same like for seller from Ukraine.
- GB lost its influence. Previously, they also had a voice in the European Parliament and the European Commission, now they only have to passively adapt.
- The consequence of a fully open market is the lack of barriers - it is the institutions in your country that check compliance with the EU market. After Brexit, all new batches of products must be reviewed by an EU country. More, there are now and always will be random checks, while in the EU there were none (in EU, foreign products are tested in exactly the same way as domestic ones). No one can order goods to be removed from the shelves or prohibit them from being loaded into stores BEFORE testing. In the case of products from GB, they can.
- The las but not least: sooner or later the EU will make changes that GB will not be able to accept, because the differences in other laws - already independent in the EU and GB will grow over the years. Than GB will lost all its status, paralelly entrepreneurs will have to produce according to three different standards: and in each case it will be checked by various institutions before being placed on the market. This will cause a catastrophe, because both abuses (imagine having a stock of goods according to CPTPP, but not being able to market them not only in the EU, but even in your own country!) and just mistakes (mix-up of product batches) will happen.
YEAH. And they can tell us what we can/cant do, who we can/cant do biz with/ what foreign policy we must follow/ how much VAT we charge on fuel, etc etc.
What price FREEDOM ?
Why? Our neighbours are getting poorer and have next to no resources. Their share of the global has shrunk 60% and continues to do so. Europe is not the future.
Not gonna lie I had no idea what the CPTPP was so I thought this was some April fools joke 😂

Compared to the EU it may as well be a joke 😂😂
@@nealrigga6969 shots fired !
@@nealrigga6969 The UK has been a continuous April fools joke since Brexit.
Every day is April Fools in the sunny uplands of Brexshit Britain. It's the joke that keeps on giving.
The CPTPP was very controversial here in Chile, eventhough we have FTA with most countries in the block. Boric was against it most of his career, and the left had it suspended in Congress since 2016, but because his government had to turn center after the last plebiscite, he was pretty much forced to sign it just this past December. Chile exports lots to the Pacific, like copper, lithium, grapes and wine, cherries, etc. I hope it helps us economically.
“We gave up a trade deal with our nearest neighbours and largest partners in favour of… a similarly sized deal with countries on the other side of the world we don’t trade with nearly as much.”
Yeah now don’t screw this up too!
No I still believe we have a non tariff trade deal with the E.U
The EU is a much bigger, richer and closer market. Plus brexthickland used to be a member of the free market. Which it isn’t now. There is self imposed friction.

Nigel Farage Forever.
Yes, but you won’t have to give up your sovereignty to them.
It is prescious to know UK's reaction about its joining to CPTPP.
In Japan, news coverages welcome this move.(NHK, Japan's public broadcasting service, says that UK's accession to this trade deal may encourage US to rejoin it)
To be fair, leaving it is actually good for US workers, not good for big corporations.
@@aliancemd No, it isn't good for US workers either. Economists who studied the deal estimated that by not joining the deal, US workers will lose much more from higher prices than they would gain from not having to compete with other countries.
And that's almost certainly even truer now than it was then, since the labor market is quite tight but prices here continue to soar.
@@JackHankeAnd It could be pivoted to be a good thing for US workers.. USA cant get a deal done with the EU because the EU wont accept mexican made US products on the list, like mexican made fords, it needs to be made in America. Ignoring this deal and rebuilding American workers could allow the USA to join both it and a free trade deal with the EU in the future, but that has to happen with ignoring big business now and pivoting. If you belive that pivot can never happen, maybe youre right, and if you want to run the figures as they stand now fine, but I think Trumps plan could have unwittingly made America much better in the future.
Yeah. Most people aren't seeing this outside the lens of Brexit. It will be a great way for the Uk to actually make that Pivot to Asia it said it would.
I think if Biden gets elected with a majority in Congress, the US might rejoin the CPTPP.
The US does not like other people's regulations - they consider themselves the world's 'decider' on all things, so it will be interesting to see how their ;joining' this will work !
As soon as teletransportation comes a reality you would see the importance of this deal
That's the point. For services we already have it.... the internet!
😂😂😂
@@aituk And that’s another good point. U.K. is the economy of services. Can U.K. offer anything special in this field to CPTPP apart from the access to the European Single market that U.K. doesn’t have any more? Or should the City of London get included in Windsor Network for Northern Ireland? Btw, Teresa May called it “the backstop” 😉
@@someoneno-one7672 First, the windsor framework is different from the backstop in many ways not least of which Northern Ireland has a veto over any EU legislation on whether it wishes to enforce it.
The UK is the second biggest country worldwide for services, ofcourse it has much to offer the CPTPP, if it didn't have anything to offer they wouldn't have allowed us in. The question is what other opportunities can we game from this in previously shelved economies that were hamstrung by the EU.
@@aituk are you sure? Maybe they just felt bad for you. All alone, out in the ocean, your cousin thinking you're a proper cunt because you told the neighbors they should go fuck themselves at the last block party. The CPTPP looks over and can't help but feel bad for you and invites you to their party. Sure, they live like 7 days away and the party is tonight, but they invited you, so you feel a little better. Isn't that so nice of them? I jest.
Well, I mean, it probably won't make things *worse* but it would've been better to just not leave the EU in the first place
"probably". Hmm.
So it is an improvement that the UK is now forced to take below standards goods from cptpp memberstates?
It is an improvement thst the UK is now subject to ISDS ("secret courts")
It is an improvement thst the UK is now going against it's own climate change policy and commitments by scrapping tariffs on palm oil and contributing to more movement of goods across the planet?
I honestly think it would make things worse. The original goal was to make China uphold US IP laws & regulations, which usually involves privatisation of certain industries etc. IP laws that got internet archive shut down and make endless patents through loopholes on vital life saving medication. It was basically made to constrain countries in order to benefit the US. the tactic didn't even work, now BRICS is starting to seem to have some serious competition against the US's trade, so it's basically a defunct trading bloc that has overall negatives that hinder development for the average working person, especially because it's 0.08% GDP growth over 10 years!! it's shocking, this is basically done as a political stunt, it doesn't benefit at all and is no replacement to the EU.
@@oight when you put it like that it does certainly sound quite sh&tty
We have an FTA with the EU. that is enough. No need to mix with their awful politics also

Only if they break the terms of the agreement by doing so. Every agreement has some form of enforcement or they'd be useless. The only unique thing about the TPP is that the lawsuits go to an international tribunal instead of the local court of the country in violation.
This is the final nail in the coffin. Just when you thought this country couldn't get destroyed any further.

Hello from Australia. I buy the odd vinyl LP from the UK; and most times the shipping costs are the same as the cost of the Vinyl LP.; because Australia is on the other side of the planet and unless you want to wait 3 months for your parcel to arrive, you pay for airfreight. So any object you buy or sell to the CPTPP may end up costing a lot extra. It may be cheaper from Mexico or Canada. Still, big whoop! You left the EU to trade with 11 countries a long way from home. Thats bound to make you all RICH ....... not.

This is the most ridiculously pointless thing for the UK to do. Rejoining the EU is the only thing that would actually improve the UK economy.
If I understand it correctly it is not a done deal yet. It is an agreement in principle. It is also quite funny how the CPTPP shares a lot of characteristics with the EEC/EC.
And I honestly doubt China will join anytime soon. I think a lot of members see the CPTPP as a counterweight to China. And China's record on adhering to international (trade) regulations is rather poor, tbh.

@@Whoami691 The EU started out as nothing more than a french-german cooperiation on coal and steel and evolved from there. I don't think the CTPP will evolve in a pacific EU anytime soon (the partaking countries are too different and far-apart for that), but the UK may well find itself having to accept certain rules in order to keep doing business, just like in membership of the EU. And at least the EU has a democratic representation. With the CPTPP is will basically be the various governments deciding the matter between them and I doubt UK parliament will be able to say anythign about it. As for judicial courts: there are clauses in the deal that will allow large companies to sue the UK government behind closed doors (secret courts!) if they believe their profits have suffered from changes to laws or regulations. Think about that one.

We couldn't get any further away from the economic centre of gravity of the agreement than we are. Not to mention that now we're going to be even more dependant on the Suez and Panama canals than before, so it's going to involve us in a lot of geopolitics.
Or the UK could use the inter oceanic corridor that Mexico is currently building in the Tehuantepec isthmus.
@@SoronQuenta Mexico can't even keep quiet they drug gangs/quartel and you want them to keep an eye on a inter oceanic corridor?
I wonder if there could be a trade network closer to the UK that they could take advantage of, then again their politicians surely took it into consideration and this was just the best they could do.
Don't worry, plans are being made to tow this septic isle closer to the Pacific. Better weather too.
@@mr.metallic5310 That is an interesting point that I hadn't thought of. Is there any reason to think that we will be able to provide more financial services to these country as a result of this deal?
This video proves that "CPTPP" does NOT roll off the tongue easily. Each time Jack said it, it sounded like he was struggling.
The amount of people in these comments that don't understand the difference between a trade deal and the federalising union that is the EU 🤦🏻♂️ Were the EU a free trade bloc like the CPTPP, the UK would have never left!
I actually WANT to be in a federal union with our European neighbours. Many of us Brits do.
@@Simonsvids Lol "many" is a massive overstatement 😂
When in the EU we at least competed with countries on a level playing field. I suspect that we will now have to compete with countries that may not have the same environmental, workers rights and safety standards etc. Even if a lot of our trade may be service related the geographical distance cannot be ignored.
the fact that they have to tout this as a "victory" speaks volumes about their track record so far
Downgrade
Its not meant as a replacement.
I am very happy to see the UK finally join us in the CPTPP. Joining this free trade agreement was a major cornerstone of Brexit & the potential is far more than the estimated 1.8 billion increase in UK GDP for the short term.
100's of miles....try 10000 miles. Seriously this is like Australia joining Eurovision. I mean its cool but its tacky.
I was 100% confident this was April Fools.
Googling proved me wrong. Wow!
The amount of times cptpp was said I thought it was an April fools joke
Billionaire Sunak has LIED to the British people from day one about "government integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level" - 25/10/22.
One benefit of leaving the EU was… the opportunity to join a smaller trading agreement on the other end of the world?
Not sure if that’s worth it lol.
It's actually much bigger than the EU and growing whereas the EU is shrinking.
@@A190xx 1st. The EU is the world's largest trading bloc. 2nd. Great Britain is definitly trading many times more goods with the EU.
This is such a pathetic trade deal
No FTAs with any country in the world, even the EU, can replace EU membership.
It's just not comparable. EU membership removes customs borders. Goods moving within the EU move like domestic shipments. No customs costs, minimal freight costs.
Brexit destroyed all low profit margin trade with the EU that was made possible only though EU membership and close geological proximity.
Short of moving Asia closer to the UK and then removing borders with the countries, nothing can replace EU membership.
2:22 where did you get that figure? everywhere i've checked says 12/13% of global GDP, nowhere near 17%, which would be odd considering the EU is about 15%
Depending on how you meassure what "world trade" is, the CPTPP accounts for 17% of that - which is what some sources report as the "size" meassurement of the agreement. It's probably a mis-reading of that.
@@QemeH trade =/= gdp.
@@rizkyadiyanto7922 I am aware. In fact, that is the whole point of my comment.
Ah yes, the famous pacific nation of Great Britain
We own Pitcairn, which is in the Pacific. Who could have guessed that a naval mutiny from 1789 would allow us to join a trading organisation 234 years later!
Don't knock Pacific rimming until you're tried it.
Take a shot every time CPTPP is said 😂
CPTPP is now officially more annoying than Never gonna give you up
So is this the eureka moment for Brexit? Is this the elusive benefit that we were promised? I am so relieved. Our cost of living and gas prices come down and and the Dover blocks will go away. I mean is there a chance of getting the however many millions of pounds a week we will save for the NHS? Oh please tell me yes ?
Honestly the US made a bad call with the CPTPP
This is a huge win for the UK.
Unlike the EU the CPTPP does not enforce regulations and restrictions on all goods and services, instead it only enforces them on goods being traded in the CPTPP. This means that unlike in the EU when small businesses would be under the same expensive and cumbersome rules as international corporations, businesses can pick and choose what regs to follow based upon where they want to sell. Meaning if you're a small business only wanting to sell locally, you only have to consider local standards. If you want to sell to the CPTPP you have to incorporate their standards ONLY on the products you sell to it. Whereas in the EU it didn't matter where or who you sold to, you had to follow their standards.
The 0.08% increase in GDP needs some clarification, the reason it is so small is because we already have signed a number of free trade deals with countries inside the bloc. So the improvement is miniscule because there's only 1 or 2 countries we didn't already have a trade deal with. The difference here is A) it solidifies these deals for the long term future now that they are part of a much broader framework and B) this is just the beginning....
Brexit was always going to cause a bump in the road, all changes in economies do and this was a massive one. We have to wait for industry and business to adapt to the new markets we are exploring. 40 years of the EU has a lot of business set in its ways but as time moves on this trading bloc will become more innovative and competitive and hopefully the UK will have people ready to respond and take advantage.
All being said it's nice to be part of a trading bloc that's actually growing as opposed to one that has struggled with stagnation and in need of serious reform.
What small businesses in the UK do any amount of trade with Vietnam or Mexico? There's being hopeful and then there's just blind faith. Even most brexiters are smart enough to know that a family run small business in England won't suddenly have massive orders coming in from Indonesia. It's like you live in a fantasy world. Insane.
I'm interested in how long CPTPP-Exit will take. Wasn't like a core part of Brexit that the UK didn't want "dictated" rules from Brussels? Now they're just gonna come from Ottawa and sooner or later from Beijing...
it's pronounced 'Cptppexit'
6 months notice. A future Labour led government can scrap it.
Shows what you know. We don't want a foreign court having ultimate say over our laws. We don't want mass immigration lowering our workers wages. We don't want a political union. Cptpp offers non of this.
It's a trade union not a political union so referendums will never happen on that matter
With all the cons I find it ridiculous to call this as a credit benefit and not call it potential mitigation of the brexit damage (with 0.08% of the GDP benefit after 4% damage - not to mention all the other barriers)
CANZUK let’s make it happen!
Take a shot every time they say "CPTPP" in this video, and you'd be dead by the 4-minute mark.
The TPP allowed extractive companies to sue countries (in an international court) for impacting _future_ profits if a country introduced environmental laws. Not sure if that's still in this incarnation, but it was a big issue the first time around.
Don't look at the small print, embrace the CPTPP dream.
Yep - the UK stops making ICE cars in 2035, but has to accept Japanese imports of the same cars etc.
It's definitely in there, and worse. Check out Matt Kennard.
Tories: Let's leave the EU so we don't have to comply with their regulations.
Also Tories: Let's enter a trade deal where we don't have a say and have to comply to their regulations. It's also thousands of kilometers away.
When was brexit about being against trade groups? That was literally the largest factor that kept brits in the EU, it was pretty much everything else.
@@maxdavis7722 You mean all those laws we wrote, that we penned, legislated, and put into place?
The ones we pushed onto the EU? Those ones?
Yeah, we totally didn't want them. Course we didn't. If we wanted them we wouldn't have been in favour of them. Duh.
@@Iltazyara what are you specifically referring too here? Britain could not force laws onto the EU nor did it have the international ability to push that in Europe. “We” as in the brits did not create the laws, the Europeans did and I don’t consider that appropriate when this is a trade organisation. Political will should not be enforced on member states through an economic honeypot.
You seem to think that the UK was really onboard with the EU laws and schemes whilst it was inside the organisation, this is famously not true. The UK had a huge amount of exceptions to rules and schemes because it didn’t want to participate.
The tories were a remain party. They spent £9 million on leaflets supporting EU membership. They hate brexit, they personally benefited from EU membership.
@@maxdavis7722we elected MEPs you muppet. We had the third highest amount of MEPs. We had a big say on European laws.
When did we have a vote on this?
Why didn’t we have a referendum on this?!
I laughed every time I heard cptpp
It's even better like this... twitter.com/tldrjack/status/1642105754332143616?t=rMScPFP1JRc24-UdrKlPsw&s=19
So the UK left the EU to join another union where most of the nations are thousands of miles away from the UK
Do you think the EU mines the ores and makes the parts in Europe? All this stuff is made around the world and merely assembled in Europe. It used to control 20% of world trade in 20% and now just 8% and continues to fall. The Titanic is sinking and you are clambering on to the ship demanding to go down with it.
When all parties are 'appeased' then the agreement has reached the lowest common denominator ... everyone has lowered their standards. 🤓🇦🇺
This would save £0.001 per £5000 spending to the uk people and increase profits for corporations in billions!
Australia used to trade heaps with the UK. Then they ditched us and joined the EU.
This is like the old EEC where it was just about trade, and not about being totally controlled by foreigners like the EU became. Also France isn't a member so they got my vote.
TPP became such a controversy in the US when it was first announced that it likely played a small role in the election of Trump. Very odd to see what it’s doing now.
Hopefully the US eventually joins again. Perhaps if it continues to expand to include more countries like Britain, which Americans largely like and don't see as a threat, and it continues to be painted as an anti-China trade bloc, that can happen.
@@JackHankeAnd The US is not a particular buddy of Britain when it comes to trade & China will likely join the CPTPP at some point.
The Canadian public was broadly hostile to the TPP until the US bailed, several treaty portions that grossly favoured US hegemony over the group were removed and it became a deal that Canada, Japan, Australia, and pretty much every other country thought was much fairer. It’s very unlikely that either China or the US would gain unanimous approval to join since the CPTPP is essentially a deal between economic middle and large powers but has no single dominant power. South Korea and Taiwan are obviously good fits though.
They really need a shorter name for CPTPP.
Considering that it will increase the GDP by 0.08% and UK already has Free Trade Agreements inherited through EU deals from almost all the countries in that list, it doesn’t change much but will play very nicely with the uninformed electorate.
The UK is hurting, down bad.
Trump's stance was that multi-lateral agreements can't be nuanced to the extent bilaterals can.
He also said that if the UK joined he would reconsider it.
Who cares what Trump says
So Trump 2024 would be good for the UK 😮
I find him saying CPTPP this much is kinda funny.
Everyone take a shot whenever CPTPP is mentioned … 😂
Excellent Sunak! UK needs that
So, the UK left a trading bloc on its doorstept, where they had written or been in favor of 98% of the rules that bloc had. Then some people thought all those rules were bad, whereas in reality they just didn't want to pay taxes, and used lies to get the people to vote to leave said bloc.
And now, they joined a different trading bloc, where the closest member is 2500 miles away, a bloc where they have to accept rules and regulations that the UK had no input in and where disputes will be adjudicated in foreign courts. Without asking the people for their input.
How does that work again?
One thing to note is that, in 2016, the electorate was offered a (technically non-binding) plebiscite on whether or not to withdraw from the POLITICAL-ECONOMIC union of the EU. There was no public vote regarding withdrawing from the free-trade area of EFTA.
@@nobbynobbynoob That's the other thing, when you ask Brexiteers about it, they'll tell you "That's not the Brexit I voted for" and when you ask what Brexit they envisioned, you get a dozen answers.
Everybody who voted remain voted for the same remain
