Reeves is comprehensively out of her depth

Stuck repeating recycled Brexiter ritual incantations about “bringing down barriers to trade” when the main barriers to trade are ones the country imposed on itself and that she and Starmer refuse to address

No point doing “deals” with Trump, for he will always renege on them when it suits him.

Instead, reduce if not eliminate your dependency on him/USA. Remove any leverage he may have.

There is no other sustainable way.

Trump and his administration are like the con-artist conjurors on Westminster Bridge.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

The constant noise and endless misdirections are there in part to exhaust and stymie any scrutiny.

Is @bsky.app a viable Twitter alternative? Of course. It does well what Twitter does well and does many other things better. But I understand why we ask.
