We are so weak on Sanctions. They are also a dangerous weapon.

The reason our banks and major companies are being cyber attacked is the simple Russian response to our Sanctions.
Fair play to them I suggest. We feck about with them and their economy and they feck about with ours.

Interesting new warfare.
Don't get me wrong I think that the trade is important and is likely to be more so if the stated aim is to build new and grow existing trading relationships as we focus away from the European Union. In some ways this might weaken the UK's response given its aims for the future and the amount of investment the Saudi's make in London's financial and property markets.
