He's a backbench MP / minister without portfolio. If it exists his letter means no more than you or me sending Biden a good luck card. If it's real it's either a stunt to gee up the ERG or troll Remainers (I suspect a bit of both).As much as Redwood is a complete and utter shitehawk, surely this is a wind up.

Nah. There really is a rizzla paper between Biden's policies and Johnson's. No matter what the Remaniacs think trying to get us to kowtow and keep us under the thumb of the EU.No I think Johnson was desperately hoping for a Trump win which would have been sufficient to muddy the waters about a future US trade deal and make it easier to sell his EU hard line. That’s gone now and he’s between a rock and a hard place.
Well that would be stupid as the UK generally supports the US- probably one of the very few countries in the world that do so.We're going to get handbagged.
In your dreams maybe.I expect it to put additional pressure on the current stalemate over LPF and fish. In a no deal outcome then the WA and NI protocols still apply. If we start backtracking on those signed commitments, and put Dublin in a difficult position on the land border, that is where it will get difficult for the UK. Alienating our closest neighbours and what we like to think of as our ‘greatest ally’ against a backdrop of a pandemic is not the place we want to be.
The other factor is that the UK is not of greater or lesser importance to the US than Germany or France. The US under Biden will want good relations with all these countries and see the EU as an important part of that relationship. Biden regards Brexit as a mistake, but a Brexit that does not disrupt the EU or Dublin or cause any waves is not going to be a problem. In short, Brexit if you must, it’s your funeral after all, just behave yourselves while you do it.
Economically yes but when it comes to foreign policy, especially EU and RoI relations I disagree entirely.Nah. There really is a rizzla paper between Biden's policies and Johnson's. No matter what the Remaniacs think trying to get us to kowtow and keep us under the thumb of the EU.

We aren't dangling. There never was a us trade deal. It's bollocks that was initially spouted by brexiteers, and led to the cries of NHS privatisation and chlorinated chicken. The deal we've never had and are not getting is now apparently a consequence of brexit. US trade will just trundle on as it always had without one.The laugh is whatever you may think Anorak we are of little interest to Biden. Johnsons "part Kenyon president " comment is coming around to bite him on the arse with Bidens election. Today Lord Racist of the UUP insulted Harris. The UK are driving a political wedge between the two countries.
If what the Swiss Cheese monger assumes happens and trade continues unabated then Biden can concentrate on domestic issues like Covid and the US economy and leave us dangling. Why give Johnson something to boast about when you hate the mans very bones and by ignoring him you don't harm your own economic interests anyway?

During my lifetime the relationship has only really been special when the US wanted our support in the UN or militarily, and when they wanted to base nukes here. While acknowledging their willingness to send their youth to die in Europe on our behalves twice in the last century, it's worth bearing in mind they wrote off German war debt in 1953, but ensured we paid every penny of ours (ending in 2006). That's how special the relationship is.Even if the nasty racial jibes weren't an issue, and they clearly don't help, the fact is that out of the EU, the UK is a diminished force. Whereas once we were the US' go-to people for influence in the worlds biggest trading bloc, not having a seat at that table means our significance on the world stage is greatly reduced. GFA aside, we're definitely not top of their priority list. It's probably always been that way in fairness but wankers love to talk about the special relationship, which no ordinary American I know has ever given a shite about.
One of the main reasons I resolutely and absolutley despise the USA with every fibre of my being.During my lifetime the relationship has only really been special when the US wanted our support in the UN or militarily, and when they wanted to base nukes here.

A bit of a whoosh I'm afraid, at a Wilde guess.Well that would be stupid as the UK generally supports the US- probably one of the very few countries in the world that do so.
The reason? A similar outlook on the world between our peoples and politicians.
Trump has tried his best to screw it up, but it has survived him.

John Major tells one lie here - it wasn't a red London bus that the lie was on the side of
So many incorret or disingenuous statements there by John Major - The man who refused to allow the people to vote on the Maastricht treaty. This was compounded by Blair with the Lisbon treaty. A complete failure of trust in the people by politicians. That is why Brexit happened. You John Major, as well as Tony Blair, are responsible for Brexit.

I voted Remain as I thought cooperation was necessary.Good effort there but as I, Tony Blair and John Major didn't vote leave explain again how we are responsible.
