    2. Guess he didn’t like us going elsewhere with the India deal instead of grovelling for scraps at their table like we usually do 😅

      Can’t lie, Keir and co are doing well with these.

      Will be interesting to see is Farage levies much criticism, given it’s being announced proudly by his best buddy.

      Well let’s see what the terms of the trade deal are before any conclusions can be made

      Either way, the UK has wanted a trade deal with the US for decades, and even more so after Brexit. If this deal is actually substantial then we have to view it as a massive success

      Obviously, Trump will be the one claiming victory, as though the UK previously did not want a trade deal but his presidency and decision making has somehow managed to strongarm the UK into signing one. But that’s fine. Smile, let him have his moment, and hopefully the UK can reap the rewards for the foreseeable

      Unless it is a massive pile of steaming shit

    5. My most general take so far is that Starmer is generally fairly good at governing but utterly terrible at comms and PR. 

      If we get this it’d be a huge boost, but I imagine he’d fuck up the reveal and lose any credit.

      I hope we’re not going to let them sell food here that have ingredients in them that can give you 14 different types of arse cancer.

      Guarantee if Starmer has the same double tax contribution rule with USA as they do with the new trade deal with India, no one will be crying about it.

      Can’t wait to see what we have agreed to do to get this trade deal
