Rishi Sunak should “revisit” the Brexit trade deal agreed with the European Union as part of an effort to forge closer economic ties with the bloc, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change has said. The think tank said it was time to consider ways to improve on the trade and cooperation agreement signed by Boris Johnson, which is due for review at the end of 2025. It comes as new analysis revealed that UK export growth has fallen well behind that of other major economic powers, including Germany and France, despite claims by the government that Brexit would boost British business abroad.
