I all likely hood, he will created the tariffs, see the uproar and outrage, then roll them back and make out he’s a giant hero for coming in to the rescue.

Having given away the Chagos islands and using our money to then rent it back I don’t hold out any hope that this gov has a clue on what to do for anything. Grain farmers in the UK are about to refuse to sell their grain in response to ideological attacks by Labour. Soon bread won’t be available.

Email every MP the PM and Parliament itself and tell them to give the Chagossians a referendum on staying British or going with Mauritius before giving away their islands and repost this post.

No doubt selling the NHS to a fucking monster will be in the talks. Bankruptcies or medicine coming to a pharmacy near you 👍👍

Starmer is an idiot, he must realise his dealing with mad criminal psychopaths, the UK should be interlinked with the EU and Brexit has damaged this due to the attack by freemarket corrupt fraudulent neo 'libertarian' 'capitalist', this was due to a few people who are now sitting very wealthy! AHs

How long is the world going to put up with this fool

Trump is attention seeking so the Liberation Tariffs will be followed by postponements, reductions and opt out deals to keep the attention of the world on him and distract from the economic crisis he’s creating.
