President Trump drives a bulldozer through the government's central claims about their compromise - that the UK would be able to get decent trade deals with the wider world, while sticking to the EU rules.

Excellent news. We can avoid poor trade deals with the US. A country that will look after itself above everything will hardly give us as good a deal as we have with the EU. No sub standard meat or food quality. Fab.Quote:

Really tells you how far outside of reality these people are living.

E.U. slightly weakened - good for USA as it maintains their position as top dog, and good for Russia as a weaker EU isn't likely to deal with them as strongly
It's also comical reading comments about protests and that baby blimp being disrespectful to the American president, yet now he's been rather disrespectful to our Prime Minister, nothing is said.Quote:

Trump's comments would be bad enough at any time. But it's exactly at the time when we're leaving our Euro allies behind.Quote:
