This is just a statement of fact. You’re always going to have more trade with your closest neighbours.

If, and i say if, the Labour has got any plan to revert Brexit, now it is definitely the time to start the national debate about it

Their trade volumes with the EU are roughly 45-50%. As much as Farage might go on about the rest of the world it’ll be very difficult to replace half…
It’s not likely to change. At least Labour are realistic and based in some sort of logic as opposed to the endless psychodrama of the Conservatives had been going through

Its like we are waiting for the last few morons to wake up and realize they cannot be MAGA when they are living in the UK.

Perhaps true. Also important to note:

It is true, but it will still make the Little Englanders angry, because facts aren’t their forte

The share of UK exports to the EU is twice as high as the share of exports to the US, while UK imports from the EU are four times as high as they are from the US.
Well looking at numbers it is not a matter of opinion, simply a fact. Same as earth is not flat as far as I know.

Trading with people close always seems more important just like fundamentally? Considering supply chains and ease of access.

But that’s unsurprising, considering his history

“suggests”?
That’s far too weak.
It simply is.
And it was one of the reasons that Brexit was a dumb idea.
And one of the reasons we should be undoing Brexit entirely.
And one fo the reasons why I can’t fathom why NO MAJOR POLITICAL PARTY will back such an option even though 48% of the population wanted to stay in the EU and that number must be FAR HIGHER now that the reality has hit and turned out to be what we all warned everyone of.
If this is the case, make your party give us the option to get back into the EU.

Obviously.
As an American, I am dismayed this UK govt is getting so wrapped around the axle about a US trade deal. It’s like they don’t understand that the special relationship is dead, that they need to stop intelligence sharing, and need to start working on a replacement for NATO. They need to get ahead of events and stop reacting to them on a long term delay basis.
The US govt cannot be trusted until such time as (1) Trump is out and (2) there is reasonable assurance that nothing like Trump can happen again.
(1) will be hard enough. How anyone can make (2) happen, I have no idea.

Surely it’s time to stop tiptoeing around this issue and call another referendum on the question of Brexit. It is not a settled issue in the UK especially now that the USA is no longer a reliable partner in the world.

Our trade with the as yet undiscovered Alien race in outer space is more important than dealing with a corrupt, mad man who has absolutely no clue, or care for his allies.

Just imagine if you could have a sort of frictionless trade arrangement with them where goods and services could cross borders with minimal checks paperwork. But no that’s just mad!!
