Labour are out of their minds if they think any deal with Trump is going to be good for anybody but Trump. You do not sit down with the Devil and expect to leave without getting severely burned.

I’m refusing to buy anything new that is American after how Dictator Trump has behaved in the last week. It will be hard but I as an individual don’t want to support this country anymore

terriwatson.bsky.social•1 day ago

My god, we don't want a trade deal with America! Our food is bad enough since Brexit. Don't want Americas shit!

Fools errand

Trump is as trustworthy as thin cheap toilet paper..

hugobrune.bsky.social•1 day ago

As trustworthy as a Tottenham title challenge

Or as a that the DFS sales ends on the 28th

Or that it’s not butter

Align with a psychopath megalomaniac just in order to appease the Brexit morons and avoid closer ties with the EU…

To quote Trudeau:

“Make that make sense”…

But... but... she's an economist.

I'm happy for her to keep talking and blowing smoke to be honest.

I just have the dreadful fear that our NHS will be the bargaining chip that mineral rights are for Ukraine.

mermaidspursej.bsky.social•1 day ago

The government can't agree to that and they know it. So many ppl in the UK are gearing up to protest Trump if he comes here. That would tip the UK over into anarchy.

Reform would serve it up on a plate.

wendyw13.bsky.social•1 day ago

No, that’s not going to happen.

pamm87.bsky.social•1 day ago

I do hope you're right.

agdun72.bsky.social•1 day ago

Scary but unfounded...

jm64.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’ll be NHS, extra spend on US weapons and tax breaks for all US companies operating in the UK. I hope I’m wrong but it’s heading in that direction. Those are the three main cards in our hands. I don’t believe it’s worth it. Our future lies elsewhere with more reliable partners. Who we can trust.

implausibleblog.bsky.social•1 day ago

Scary thought!

You ever see the end of V for Vendetta?

pamm87.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not even the beginning!

luxurymunge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well it's what would happen if Starmer sold our NHS to Trump.

pamm87.bsky.social•1 day ago

And not a happy ending, I assume?

luxurymunge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not for the government 🤣

janianp.bsky.social•1 day ago

It won’t happen.

pamm87.bsky.social•1 day ago

I hope not.

jm64.bsky.social•1 day ago

We’re going to have to sell our souls for a trade deal with the US. Given what is currently happening it’s a deal that Trump will alter and change the goalposts on to suit his purpose. We’ll end up being shat on while betraying everyone else. You can’t trust anything coming out of the White House.

anthonyf272.bsky.social•1 day ago

.....or out of the mind of Rachel Reeves.

lwio.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think it’s too later to appease the shit.

bazzanpt.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is a little disingenuous Farrukh

She spent a lot of the time talking about how import the reset has been with regards to relations with the EU and that it has already started with defence

And now they intend to build on that with trade

implausibleblog.bsky.social•1 day ago

Sure but what's happening with the US and Canada shows us that there's no stability for a US-UK trade deal, so our Chancellor suggesting there is is disingenuous

We should pause that and focus on the EU

waspbox.bsky.social•1 day ago

Reeves, “Our polling shows that the British public want gov't to prioritise Europe, and independent research suggests this will give a far greater economic boost to Britain than any deal with Trump, which itself becomes less attractive by the hour.”

bazzanpt.bsky.social•1 day ago

100% I posted this earlier

johntonks.bsky.social•1 day ago

Well we all know what a fool she is.

damonthedemon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Absolutely. She is a fiscal imbecile, a neolib, a Thatcherite and an ex banker (Apparently, although her exact role in banking is still under debate). Prosecution rests M’lud.

elaino.bsky.social•1 day ago

Rejoin the EU. We don’t need a trade deal with f@cking orange thicko and his Free Hate Speech sidekick.

jonty24.bsky.social•1 day ago

The next few weeks will probably crystalise where we stand with the US. The tariff war with Canada may also get rather dangerous and that opens up another issue for the UK in terms of support.

freddies.bsky.social•1 day ago

She's way out of step and needs to U turn and negotiate with EU immediately No time to waste .

mrsmonkey.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't get why we are all in awe of the US - just stop dealing with them and go elsewhere- show them we don't need them

dennisobell.bsky.social•1 day ago

It looks like trying to humour and flatter Trump seems to be the only way to get a half decent deal out of him. But he's as predictable as a sack full of angry cats. He may still yet hit the UK with crippling tariffs, and then Reeves' position will have to change.

anthonyf272.bsky.social•1 day ago

...to former Chancellor.
