Relieved to be Relieved?

The US has objected to a deal between the UK and EU to divide agricultural import quotas, one of Theresa May’s key plans for a smooth Brexit.

British and European negotiators had been working on an agreement to split tariff rate quotas, which would allow some agricultural produce to enter the EU from countries outside of the union.

A preliminary deal was drawn up between London and Brussels over how to split the EU’s existing tariff rate quotas (TRQs) - agreed under the World Trade Organisation - but it was rejected by the US, Canada, New Zealand, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Thailand in a co-signed letter.

The news is setback for the Prime Minister, who presented the deal as a breakthrough for a successful Brexit, particularly as Donald Trump was a proponent of Britain exiting the EU.

There's talk Theresa will have to go. I bet she'll be relieved she's out of it.

Brown never gambled 40+ years of relationship with our closest trading partners.

Brown never sold off the council houses, houses that are now so desperately needed.

He was a total numpty for not getting debt under control, however. Although the Tories have only made it worse.

And what debt is that exactly - most of the national debt at that time was money borrowed to bail out the banks. Nothing like the £1.7 trillion pounds we now owe whilst the Tories forget to mention they have borrowed it.

Why would you rather? Those two maniacs would crash the UK economy onto the rocks. You don't even live here. I'm fed up of people like you sniping from the sidelines.

Well, you're in the wrong place.

And you don't know that's true.

May should be quite rightly burned. Although with Boris and that other posh ****wit Mogg waiting in the side-lines the alternatives may be worse.

Brexit won't be unrolled???

[SueEllen]

One will follow the other.

Or

Brexit is unrolled and those guilty of instigating it go to jail as a warning to future generations.

Poor Brits faced with two choices
Hard Brexit and total collaps of the economy
Or
Marxist Venezuela style regime and total collaps of the economy (and probably still hard Brexit)

Stopped Blair signing up to the Euro though didn't he?

but brown did sell off loads of gold and drove the price down before doing it by telling the markets he was about to sell off loads of gold!

It is a catchy headline. But was not actually that much money in todays terms. And we'd not have used it either had we still had it. If anything governments are hoarding it rather than giving it up.

That's not too many weeks of £350 million magic money.
