To get a trade deal with "America First", we'll be expected to give up so much, and for what?
An America trade deal will NEVER replace what we had with Europe, and we lose our democracy, our culture for what?!

Starmer and his team are Quisling, and the British are being sold down the river...

Ministers have been unsuccessful so far in their efforts to sign an economic deal with the US by offering concessions on taxes for big tech firms and lower taxes on meat and fish imports. By Wednesday morning, No 10 had conceded that the UK would not be exempt from the wave of tariffs, which Trump later ~ announced in the White House Rose Garden in an act of political theatre and unabashed projection of his power on the world stage.

Here's an example of Gilead's money and power attacking our native culture and laws and nobody in Westminster wants to do anything about it because we are to become Gilead's vassal.

Not even a 51st State, just a whipping boy like Puerto Rico

And that's the dream Starmer has for us.

ADF UK’s income was more than £1.3m in the year up to June last year, according to records filed to Companies House on Friday. It included “ADF support” of £1,119,975. The organisation held discussions with a delegation from the US state department, which visited the UK last month before the release of a statement in which the US voiced concern about “freedom of expression in the UK”.

A trade deal with Trump is not a 'Prize' it's submission and vassalage

All the things the Brexitiers accused the EU of doing, Trump WILL do to us.

He's already dictating to us policy on Abortion and what he call 'Free Speech'

Do we think this cowardly Labour government are going to stand up to any of this or just fold completely?

“It’s a #Vichy moment in American #history,” Michael Roth, the president of Wesleyan University, told me... “Like I have a restaurant & if I #collaborate with the Nazis & don’t let any Jews eat here, then the guys who wash dishes will still have jobs. As you know, that slope is very slippery. #Appeasement doesn’t end well.”

"when you engage in the #collaboration, you actually encourage them to do even worse stuff.”

Text from article: ROTH’S VICHY ANALOGY IS EXACT. In 1940, the French hoped to preserve part of “free France” by making a separate peace with the Nazis and setting up a puppet regime under Marshal Philippe Pétain based in Vichy, while the Germans occupied and ruled northern France. The arrangement lasted only until the Gestapo decided otherwise in 1942 and “free France” fell increasingly under direct Nazi rule. Preserving a Columbia that is partly free is the same sort of fantasy. The rest of Columbia is free only until Trump decides to escalate his demands and seize more territory. Wesleyan has the same kinds of federal funding streams at risk as larger universities: research grants from NIH and NSF, as well as Pell grants to students and the federal student loan program. I asked Roth if speaking out puts all of these at risk. “Of course, I think about that,” Roth said. “And then I think that’s the classic collaborationist dilemma, right? You know, you collaborate with authoritarians who you know are in the wrong, in order to keep them from doing worse stuff. And I think when you do that, when you engage in the collaboration, you actually encourage them to do even worse stuff.”
