[Politics] Well done Kier

I must admit, the fact that Farage has thought it OK alarms me greatly.

I am trying to console myself with the fact that even a broken clock*
is right twice a day.

Not sure about a blokey cock, but the day I feel the need to deep-analyse Farridge is the day I
have far too much time on my hands.

I hope you are generally sanguine. I find it hard to 'read' you

Do you mean it's because it hasn't been approved by the US Congress? If so, it very likley would/will be. Also, I understand some trade 'deals' can be signed off by executive order only, although I don't understand what the limits of this are, do you know?

There is still a US congress?

lol well done ham face

That's quite a selective set of figures. Only accountants truly concern about how it compares to last year. Most people including those making business decisions deal in how it compares to the last position.

That digital services tax and health service weren't wrapped up in this and that us have now stated to align to uk meat standards as well as seeing the tariff on uk steel gone are all major plusses. Add to that the agreement about time spent at border with goods imported from us, this is in my view, a fairly deft piece of negotiation in difficult circumstances.

It's not the kind of thing that journalists will really understand (read chris mason as a prime example) and may not be a huge vote winner in and of itself as the general public won't get the nuances of this, however when businesses avoid failing as JLR would undoubtedly have done it certainly prevents the kind of situation that allows reform to breed from developing
