Our relationship with the EU has to be about far more than trade. It also has to be about culture, education, science, agriculture, climate change, biodiversity, travel, security, relationships, families, dreams. Why should a parcel or a packet of peas have more freedom of movement than a person?

If you cut foreign aid, you are hurting the vulnerable.

If you cut or freeze PIP & other disability benefits, you are hurting the vulnerable.

The recipients can’t push back, & have little power to resist.

If you increase wealth taxes, you’re not going to hurt anyone. But the rich, push back

Trump's 25% tariffs on steel & aluminium have come into force - with no special carve-out for the UK.

The time is past due. We must prioritise building trade ties with the EU, our largest partner. Polling supports prioritising EU over US trade by 2 to 1.

Les dernières mesures tarifaires du Président Trump sont une attaque envers les travailleurs, les familles et les entreprises canadiennes. Mon gouvernement s’assurera que notre réponse a un impact maximal sur les États-Unis et un impact minimal sur le Canada, tout en soutenant nos travailleurs.(1/2)

So I guess the next brilliant Art of the Deal move from the guy who bankrupted casinos is to give Europe as many reasons as possible not to buy weapons systems from US companies right after the EU announced an intent to spent nearly a trillion more on defense.
