UK Trade Policy: An Independent Review
By Achyuth Anil, Thomas Baily, Amar Breckenridge, Michael Gasiorek, Charlotte Humma, Sahana Suraj and Fiona Smith et al.
View postSummary CITP publication
The UK Trade Policy: An Independent Review provides an independent, evidence-based assessment of UK trade policy in 2025. It evaluates how current UK trade policies respond to current pressures, how effectively they serve the UK’s economic interests and broader public policy goals. It identifies where changes may be needed to ensure consistency, coherence, resilience, and long-term prosperity. Jointly written by the Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy, Frontier Economics and the UK Trade Policy Observatory, the Review aims to complement the World Trade Organization Trade Policy Review of the UK. The report also provides a transparent methodology that can be used for future reviews or other policy issues.

Podcast 15 October 2025
Public attitudes to trade and trade policy
View postSummary CITP publication
Series 7, Episode 3 - What does the British public think about trade? In a democracy, what people think or feel about any area of policy really matters. Trade policy is an external wing of economic policy, and everyone cares about whether the government's actions are making them richer or poorer, but we also care about how trade is interlinked with climate change, the environment, food standards, or animal welfare. In this episode, our speakers provide insights and analysis on what the public thinks about trade, how we know what the public thinks and whether their views are listened to. With Alan Winters (CITP), George Holt (Trade Justice Movement), Liam Campling (Queen Mary University London) and our host Chris Horseman (Borderlex).

‘We’re saying that we trust them but really we don’t’ Citizen jurors’ discursive framing of trust in international trade policy
By Justyna A. Robinson, L. Alan Winters CB, Rhys Sandow, Sandra Young and Caitlin Hogan et al.
View postSummary CITP publication
One key consequence of the UK leaving the EU (Brexit) is that it now has full responsibility for making its own international trade policy. In this context, NatCen and the Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy initiated Citizens’ Juries on the topic of trade policy. From the transcripts of these juries, we created a corpus of 317,974 words. Using corpus-assisted discourse analysis, we focus on the concept of trust in trade policy. We find that trust conferred on actors in trade policy is limited. The greatest degree of trust is conferred on experts, on account of their epistemically-elevated position. The government is broadly not trusted. Jurors wished to be consulted about trade policy decisions and be assured that they are based on sound advice, but few wished to have a role in actually making them. Our findings highlight a deficit of trust among the jurors that could be remedied by greater perceived honesty and transparency from the government.
