The European Union is Britain's single largest trade partner and the two sides have signed a post-Brexit trade pact, but business groups say they still face extra red tape dealing with European customers and suppliers as a result of Brexit.

Chinese state media have issued a fresh warning to the United Kingdom as its warships sail through the South China Sea, but British experts doubt "direct confrontation" is likely.
The UK's HMS Queen Elizabeth is currently leading a flotilla of warships through the contested waters as part of a seven-month deployment through the Mediterranenan, Indian Ocean and the Indo-Pacific.
