To be fair they didn’t put COVID in their manifesto

Bizarre. All major countries have legislatures scrutinise trade deals. For one thing it gives negotiators leverage in talks. Damn, we are dumb.

‘MPs vote 353 to 277 to deprive themselves of powers to scrutinise & approve new trade deals’

Anyway, talking of trade deals, attempt to do a mini US deal failed, leaving tariffs in place on Scotch etc.

UK and US fail to do mini-trade deal as Trump exits

US tariffs on Scotch whisky and cashmere remain in place as UK fails to reach deal with Washington.

I love MB like a brother and i cant wait to hear him defend Priti Patel's car crash interview on GMTV this morning.

It could well be one of the best posts on BM ever if he manages to defend it.

The anticipation of it is making me salivate.
