An imminent trade deal between the UK and Australia sets the tone for post-Brexit deals around the world, and highlights the reality that there are winners and losers.
Sheep farmers, disproportionately important to Scottish agriculture, are probably the most vulnerable, but UK ministers emphasise there are benefits for whisky exports.
Outside the European Union, the British economy is bound to change. A key question now is how that happens - who wins and who loses - if trade deals seem to lack much input from outside government.
Economic theory tells you that everyone should win from trade. Reality, however, looks different.
SCOTLAND’S first new vet school for more than 150 years could provide the country with an economic boost, a new report has claimed. A study by Biggar Economics found the establishment of a vet school at Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) in Aberdeen could add £28.3 million gross value added to the economy by 2030-31 – as well as create some 238 jobs. The report was released as Professor Wayne Powell (below), principal of the SRUC, spoke about its “groundbreaking model” that will allow more people to study veterinary medicine. It is hoped this will help to tackle skills shortages in the profession.
