Summary
Chopper is off frolicking in the sun so this week Dia Chakravarty is in the podcast hotseat for an in-depth look at a subject that saw Conservative MPs starting their Easter holidays with a spring in their step - the CPTPP, or the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. Not exactly catchy, is it?
Amanda Tickel, Head of Tax and Trade Policy at Deloitte UK, and Liam Halligan, Economist and Telegraph columnist break down what the CPTPP is and how it differs from the EU.
Plus Philip Davies MP and Shadow Minister for Trade Nick Thomas-Symonds give their somewhat different assessments on the possible pros and cons, whether the deal represents the Brexit people voted for, and how Labour might have negotiated differently.

| 0:00.0 | Coming up on Chopper's politics. |
| 0:04.0 | You know, the full extent of whether or not Brexit is a success. |
| 0:09.0 | He's never going to be able to be realized in a week, a month, a year. Brexit's for life, it's not just for Christmas. |
| 0:18.4 | Hello, I'm clearly not Christopher Hope. I'm Dea Trachovvati, the Brexit editor here at the Telegraph. |
| 0:24.6 | Welcome to Chopper's Politics Podcast. I'm keeping the seat warm for Chopper as he has a well-earned |
| 0:30.0 | Easter break. And while I'm in the hot seat, I thought we should take the time to do a deep dive into a subject that saw Conservative MPs starting their Easter holidays with a spring in their step. The CP TPP. |
| 0:42.6 | Hmm, quite a mouthful. |
| 0:44.4 | That's the comprehensive and progressive agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership to you and me. |
| 0:50.3 | Later in the episode I'll be talking about the possible pros and cons with the Conservative |
| 0:55.0 | MP, Philip Davis and Labors Nick Thomas Simmons MP the Shadow Trade Minister. |
| 1:00.9 | But first what exactly is the CP TPP? Well that's exactly what I asked |

| 1:11.6 | mouthful that acronym, it stands for comprehensive and progressive Trans-Pacific partnership. |
| 1:18.0 | It's basically a trading block which consists of 11 countries spanning the Pacific Rim and includes, for instance, Malaysia and |
| 1:26.4 | Chile. |
| 1:27.4 | How significant is this deal? |
| 1:29.4 | Well, it's the biggest trade agreement the UK has agreed so far since leaving the EU. I would say it's significant because |
| 1:36.1 | the UK has agreed to join an existing and pretty large trading block and it's the first |
| 1:42.0 | new member actually to be admitted since the whole |
| 1:44.9 | area was set up and it's pretty vast it's 11 countries spanning from Malaysia to |
| 1:50.1 | Chile and actually we don't have a trade deal with Malaysia at the moment so this is the |
