European Wanderings
There are more blunderings in the right wing press from our own Right Honourable Nigel Farage MP
Not content with making us work with one arm behind our backs as the Brexit farrago makes it more difficult for our small to medium businesses to do what they do in Europe, he is now trying to cosy up to Trump (has been since the first time around) and is telling the British PM to concentrate on the trade deal with US.
Since the UK does far and away the most trade with Europe it only makes sense that the Prime Minister should be re working or at least making an attempt to mitigate the disaster that is now Brexit.
Not getting caught up in Trumps trade war is attractive but Trump is an ace negotiator and I don't think anyone in ministerial circles could match him. Westminster has not had a good track record of managing these things.
We might well come to an accommodation with the US but you can bet your bottom Euro that the US will come out on top of any negotiated settlement.
We would still need to improve our relationship with Europe as it is costing our exporters and, just as important, our food importers time and money.
Beware US food imports! Currently US meat and diary uses too much anti biotics and chemicals than we currently allow in our food chain. The US Dairy industry is one of the biggest in the world.
Beware A deal with Trump. Not because he is unfair or unreasonable just much bigger. More importantly ignore anything Farage says if only because he said it
