“New Zealand is a vital ally that shares our belief in free enterprise, democracy and the importance of being tough on countries who don’t play fair.”

“We want a deal that pushes new frontiers in areas like digital and data and the environment, and delivers for people across the UK.”

Meanwhile, a source close to the talks said, “kiwi wine would be cut to 0 percent tariffs - so should mean cheaper Oyster Bay and Marlborough wine for punters. The deal isn’t done yet, but we’ve made good progress,” The Sun reported.
