Given the dogmatism of Trump, are we really still expecting any trade deal done with the US to be in our interests whatsoever? If people didn't like TTIP, I can only imagine any future deal being quite significantly worse.

Has anyone actually taken the time to watch that interview?
He never said "yes to a trade deal", he just stated that we're "allllriiight".
Yes unfortunately in the same manifesto they promised to give the UK a referendum of staying in or OUT of the EU -surprise to them OUT WON - so that bit of the manifesto is now defunct as you can not be in the single market and not be a member of the EU , but we could negotiate access to it like other countries outside do !In regards to the single market.
Tory manifesto, 2015.
It's a bit muddled really. I mean it's good that May looked at things like technical skills in her speech this week, but these skills aren't just magically produced overnight, so if we're in an environment whereby companies cannot import those skills in the short-term because of migration quotas, but there aren't the natives with those skills either, I'm not quite sure how we expect to thrive. Talent is as important, if not more so than tariffs.

If a trade deal is not in our interests then you don't do one. A trade deal may favour one side more than the other but as long as both are gaining from it then it's of benefit. TTIP is a shambles because it was a trade deal between 29 countries all of whom want something different.
Out to the European Union, by a minute fraction - but not out of the European Single Market.

Good article in the EU Observer today about the lack of public vision as Eu law is made and enacted.......

Isn't the EUobserver the one that has links with the extreme far-right?
You cannot uphold the EU LAW outside the EU!

No idea. It generally appears to be the mouthpiece of the EU and pokes sticks at Brexit........but nice try....
But we've literally just said that we're about to keep all EU laws.
Well it was backed by the EDD for a number of years, which in its ranks hand people of whom wanted to stop women from voting.
