No good news? Just make something up!

The Conservative Party have been reprimanded by the UK Statistics Authority for their 'creative' use of data in a recent infographic. This claimed "£800 bn in new free trade deals" with the obvious intention of hoping that people would believe this was as a result of deals done post brexit.
In a response, the UKSA's chair, Sir Robert Chote, said that while no citation or source was provided, he assumed the £800bn total came from the £559bn in net trade with EU countries in 2021, plus the £245bn in post-2016 deals with 71 non-EU nations, some of which had also been a rollover of the pre-Brexit deals with the wider EU.
In other words the £800 bn is simply the amount of annual trade with other countries - trade we were also doing before Brexit. In fact the £800bn is generally reckoned to be significantly smaller total than it would have been without Brexit, using the trade deals in place when we were a member of the EU.

What is it with Tories and numbers?!
