Can we talk about trading these chaps, please?
“I’ve always been a great enthusiast for a trade deal with our European friends and partners, I think it’s there to be done. The broad outlines are pretty clear, we just need to get on and do it if we can. I’ve said that to Ursula von der Leyen just yesterday and she totally agrees with me [!]”. Whatever will Andrew Bridgen and Mark François say to that?
Then he talked down a UK-US trade deal. “On a trade deal with the US … I’m a keen student of United States trade policy and … they’re tough negotiators”. This means it’s not worth trying until the UK-EU deal is secured. “I’ve never believed that this is something that was going to be a complete pushover under any US administration”. Freely translated: Joe and Kamala saw him coming, and Trump wouldn’t have been any more generous.
So no US deal? “I think there’s a good chance we’ll do something”. Notice the lack of the key words “trade deal”. Do go on. “I’ll tell you what I’m very excited about at the moment”. Would Sky News viewers care to Look Over There? “The global consensus on tackling climate change”. Soil the bed, those flat earther Tory back benchers are going to have to block book the ICU at St Thomas’s Hospital at this rate. And there is more.
Hmm, maybe you should say sorry and ask nicely ...
Bozo’s media cheerleaders will be aghast. He’s going green, even if it is, to an extent, a deflection from his U-Turn on a UK-EU trade agreement. What will the Telegraph and Spectator tell their readers? How will TalkRADIO’s unappealing roster of hosts manage to perform the logic gymnastics needed to support all that “green crap”?
The problem is that those media cheerleaders might instead round on him - but that might backfire, given the US administration will be no better disposed to (say) Michael “Oiky” Gove, who grovelled before Trump to secure an interview. But good of Bozo to let us know that he is now rushing back into the arms of the EU. If only he and his pals hadn’t spent the last five years slagging off all those who they now have to win round once more.
Boris Johnson is beyond shameless. But you knew that anyway. And we’re still screwed.

The irony is that if he'd taken over as PM after Cameron, he probably could have sold a Norway-style arrangement to the majority of leave voters.
Ah well.
This cant be. Along with the apparent reconsideration of Marcus Rashford's campaign, no matter how it is portrayed by Downing Street, it would mean 2 x 180 degree turns in 24 hours. Are you suggesting that Johnson is a u-turner?
From "They need us more than we need them" to grovelling with a begging bowl.
Britain is a laughing stock!
The incredibly tiny world of Marc Francois ...’freedom for the isle of weight ... cast the shackles of shanklin aside’ ....
