Ministers hope this announcement is a reasonable basis for carrying on with negotiations over a trade deal that could lead to them falling or being dropped entirely.

Even some small word saying something better than ‘it could have been worse’. It really cements how pathetic our country has become.
This is all my knee jerk reaction however. I’ll l probably say something more sensible tomorrow.
I also concede that we have no other choice. We shot ourselves in the foot with Brexit thinking the US might be reliable and now look where we are.
I’m just annoyed at our whole ridiculous situation right now.
The US wasn’t reliable before Brexit 😄. Even as far back as Obama using the UK as a whipping boy during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and deliberately conflating BP as a British company despite it being half American at the time and the actual spill found to be the fault of a US drilling company. That and casually hacking the German Chancellor’s phone. The US have always been America First. They just didn’t thump their chests (relatively speaking) as much as Trump.
Fair, I feel the same. But I think this reflects where we are as a nation right now.
