The answer is to show we are not so reliant on the United States. That the UK has alternatives, and won’t be bullied into taking whatever Trump offers us.
That means urgently strengthening our relationships with the UK’s other partners – most importantly our European neighbours.

Not just tinkering around the edges of the Conservatives’ botched Brexit deal, but agreeing a better deal for Britain. A deal to form a new UK-EU Customs Union by 2030 at the latest.

It would be a win-win for our country, and I still can’t understand why the Government continues to rule it out.
I have been pushing the fact (with a few brexit supporting family members) that circular free-movement with our EU neighbours, who mostly retire back at home, was a v important factor in keeping migration stable. Backed up by figures, they mostly approved of the SM/CU idea.

America is now a corrupt, Russian satellite country.
They can come back as soon as they elect a leader with no felony convictions.
The EU aren't going to waste time creating an addictional one just for the UK when they already have a well established one.
I hope the latter, and also that you might care to explain to us lay people what sort of strategy or polling might be driving government's reluctance to openly engage with EU.
Maybe I’m changing into a Lib Dem? 🤔
Remain lost before, nothing has changed, ergo: they'd lose again now.
This will ruminate nicely for a few years and will hopefully make 2029 a rerun of 2016.
(Lost count of the number of times I've said that. Sigh...)
But as the EU needs to have agreed in the Council first (still unanimously, I guess), and some countries aren't particularly interested, a customs union might be much easier to negotiate without FoM.
Just today the IPPR pointed out how far behind Britain's exports now are compared with other EU countries
We must rejoin and we need a realistic but quick plan to do that.
