nothing that hasn't happened yet can possibly be factual how ever many times you say it is.
The reason we haven't singed a trade deal better is because there isn't one. The one we just signed has an estimated annual worth of c660 billion a year but now the country is not a part of the EU it can sign other trade deals with other nations and build our economy without being dependent solely on EU trade deals. As I said elsewhere, it may take time but we can still end up better off in the long term. (I think it is worthy on note as to how important it was to the EU to get a deal too which is why something that with other countries takes many years to do was completed inside a year.)
As an aside I have an inkling that things will not be easy for the EU and the Euro in the short term for other reasons than brexit, and other countries are not happy about having to shoulder the burden of the net input to the union which they have lost.
You say that nothing has happened yet, but Des was on earlier telling us about the loss of almost 1000 skilled Welsh jobs directly as a result of Brexit. Common sense would suggest that many UK elements of Pan - European manufacturing processes will be likely to follow over time. Only an opinion of course, but one based on the facts that are available at present.
