Everyone has to react somehow. In my mind we have to be closer than ever before to our nearest neighbours especially if the guessing of Trump actions bare out, trade sanctions forced peace Ukraine and Russia. Uk have to do and react and do what's best. The framing of many political debates is going to change. Becoming closer to EU again suddenly becomes palatable and accetable to few more than it did last week.

Not really. There is now a very good chance of a free trade agreement with the USA because of Brexit (not Starmer). Trump now sees the EU as a competitor and really doesn’t want the U.K. getting back into bed with them. This will save Starmer as otherwise the budget and Tariffs to the USA will kill our economy……..

Pete you’re a sensible and experienced man you don’t honestly believe trump do that , do you ? As a country we had this exact conversation when he was President last time . If he’s imposing tariffs I can’t see a reason why we wouldn’t be in the firing line .

I’d be delighted if we got a free trade deal with him last time and I think some of the reporting of his plans and its impact could be a bit hyperbolic but he doesn’t feel like he’ll be in particularly benevolent mood to the UK .

Things have changed since he first got in and Starmer set on a ‘closer relationship’ with the EU. If he wants to compete with the EU it’s preferable to him that we are not involved with the EU as they are only stronger with our involvement. But we shall see if Starmer can capitalise on this…..

I mean I get your Brexit position but you say closer like it’s a dirty word. whatever you think of Europe and I feel like I know your thoughts , surely a close relationship has to be a good thing in so many ways . The idea that we’re manoeuvring our way back seems fanciful , you won (well done ) but trying to repair what seems some fairly obvious damage feels like a positive .

As regards trump to me the idea the bloke whose whole ideal is “America first “ would be looking to give us a free trade deal feels a bit unlikely. Like I said I’d be delighted but equally surprised.

I would like us to be closer to the EU, it’s the sensible thing to do, but the EU still behave like an overbearing rejected lover demanding retribution. Trade is trade and defence is defence, the U.K. adds plenty to those that want us involved. I think at this particular moment we are in a good place to get the best both from the EU and the USA. Obviously Starmer needs to sack his idiot of a foreign secretary to make it happen but as I say we shall see……

Starmer - another visit abroad for him today. He cant even stay in Britain for Armistice Day. Thirteenth time abroad in 17 weeks.

Maybe he doesn't like the country?

Can’t blame him there

Is it on French and Belgian soil that most uk soldiers died? Armistice day commemorates both world wars right? Officially marked in the uk yesterday on remembrance Sunday?
