God help the UK..seriously. This dolt is a "trade representative"..& apparently does not grasp the basics that there's no external money coming in to the Treasury from tarriffs loaded onto imported goods.
It's a tax paid by the consumer designed as a deterent to buying the goods https://twitter.com/DKShrewsbury/status/1319585623477452806
UK has so many dolts in power. As for "recalibrating trade" unless it's to form another customs union with another 500m rich consumers (on doorstep) u can "recalibate" to kingdom bloody come it won't compensate (NTB) costs.. esp when the CU also a single regulated internal market
Seriously how the hell *did* UK end up with such ignorant, deluded, crooked twats in Gov?
It's painful to see..
4 years of the same repeated bollox and groundhog day, dearth of understanding.
Is it deliberate? To satisfy an unthinking base?
I'm not sure what's worse.
