The UK is one of the few countries that actually runs a trade surplus with US (depending when/how you measure it) but is being tariffed at the same level as those with trade deficits.

The UK runs a trade deficit with the USA so we got the same 10% as the penguins.
Starmer needs to beg the EU to allow us to rejoin, ASAP.
Chumminess sounds nicer than suppine brown nosing 🤮
