While his is likely good for the US, I wonder if it is really best for Britain.

Instead of being one of the senior members of a large trade bloc, they basically become an economic client-state of the USA.

You're talking out of your arse again.


You act as if GB does this that the EU will just cut them off and not trade with them.

Your TDS is affecting your judgement.

Not only that, I imagine they will be using some previous framework in order to negotiate rather quickly, as negotiating trade deals from scratch take upwards of a half-decade.

Senior member of a block you just fired yourself from?

Not sure putting most of your eggs back in that basket would be best.

You are commenting from afar on a situation that the UK has real, not theoretical, experience on for the last 20+ years. They are much closer to the ground on this than you. Their call.

You know literally nothing about the details of any US-UK trade deal.

Nor are you an economist.

Nor are you a diplomat.

Yet you make a definitive pejorative assumption about an as-yet-to-be-announced trade axis between two sovereign nations.

Stop.

I guess we’ll find out, but “what’s best for Britain” is not our concern.

There you go again, awkwardly trying to play both sides.

GB has a top 5 economy within the EU, but not the strongest. A deal with the US gives them a tremendous amount of leverage in the EU negotiations. This is fantastic for GB, which is why BoJo wants it so bad.
