UK IS ‘TOP OF THE QUEUE’ FOR POST-BREXIT TRADE DEAL WITH THE US Donald Trump’s national security adviser has told Sky News the UK will be “at the top of the queue” for a trade deal after Brexit, in a sign that the Trump administration is growing impatient with delays to Britain leaving the EU. John Bolton said that the British people should not fear a no-deal scenario. “People who worry about the United Kingdom crashing out of the European Union – they are going to crash right into the United States,” said Mr Bolton. “We are standing here waiting to make a trade deal with a UK independent of the EU.” He stressed President Trump’s commitment to Brexit, that he is “eager for the will of the British people to be carried out, and he is even more eager to do a trade deal”. – Sky News

Minerve2 - "It really isn't difficult, or at least it shouldn't be for a grown up! LOL"

Well come on then, I want to shoot you down m8.

I'm not a bad loser. Democracy is a process.

Perhaps it is YOU who hasn't got the capability to see it through. That is the definition of a loser.

The part that says remainers are bad losers and will stop at nothing to stay within the EU.

RogerRail - "from over 30 years in the business, the impact on UK manufacturing will be a disaster"

Could you explain how it would be a disaster.

The vote was to leave the EU which may or may not have carried the mandate of Hard-Brexit.

What part of that don't people understand?

[excell1] 30/3/2019 15:04

No the real traitors are those in government who stated that they would implement the vote of the people in the referendum and that was to totally leave the EU.If you wish to make a deal with them after we have left then so be it, but at least do a deal with a strong hand and not just give in with a £39 billion golden giveaway.

All I can say to that is Mr king must be set to make shedload from his dollar investments or shorting sterling as it will tank on a no deal. I doubt Mr king has ever set foot in a factory , but I can tell him for a fact from over 30 years in the business, the impact on UK manufacturing will be a disaster. And thats the rub here, brexit profiteers care more for making a quick buck than for the future prosperity of their country, they are the real traitors.

Yes, yes, Bob, we know.

"A FORMER Bank of England governor has slammed "incompetent" MPs for failing to deliver Brexit.Mervyn King has now called for a six-month extension period to prepare for leaving without a deal. He also dismissed claims of economic doom as "scare stories" and suggested Westminster politicians had suffered a "collective nervous breakdown". The crossbench peer blamed Chancellor Philip Hammond's "disastrous" decision not to fund no-deal preparations and leaving Britain in a weaker position in negotiations. And the economist warned the European Union is facing major economic challenges of its own. Lord King of Lothbury said it was "extraordinary" that MPs were unable to make a decision about Brexit. He said: "The incompetence seems to have spread beyond the Government to Parliament as a whole.""

What is wrong with our PM? We NEED to leave NOW. No DEAL, No 39 billion and no more votes.

Unfortunately we have elected people that have no regard for democracy. These MP’s should be booted out at the next general election. This includes the PM.

It will cause catastrophe, apparently. It won’t, of course, but that is ‘the narrative’.

What it WOULD have caused is the Tory Party to split. But now that Dominic Grieve has just lost a vote of confidence held by his constituency members, other Remainers May well be thinking twice.

I heard yesterday that Remain cabinet members will bring the government down if we leave with no deal. It’s OVER! The Tory Party is finished. If we leave with May’s deal, hard Brexiteers will bring the government down. If we leave with no deal. Remainers will bring the government down. What a farce. And it all seems from having the wrong Prime Minister. The Tory Party is now a laughing stock

Sir John,

Your piece today conveys so clearly the underhanded and duplicitous nature of the PM’s approach to this critical situation. All we can hear is “What can be agreed before 12th April to solve the Brexit issue?” The EU chiefs seem to be insisting that whatever happens in the future, the putrid WA must be part of it. An emergency summit is being called so that they can agree the next step! Do we not have a say?

It appears there may be plans by TM to get MV4 by putting a choice to MPs of Her WA versus the most popular of yet more indicative votes. It is like a recurring nightmare. What happened to leaving with No Deal on WTO terms? Even now, the benefits of a clean Brexit are not being promoted, but let us hope that this remains the legal default and is not over-ruled by the EU or overturned by traitors in Parliament.

At least Donald Trump is openly declaring he is ready to do a trade deal immediately we leave the EU. Shame he cannot be seconded into Parliament to take control of our departure. I bet we would be out on 12th April if he were!

Why does broadwood allow at the expletives? Does he no longer moderate this thread?

[grahamite2] 30/3/2019 13:08

I'm with Minerve there. A yob inconveniencing people as they go about their lawful occasions achieves nothing.
