Spot-on Don
The US President has always been vocal about his desire to strike a bumper free trade deal with us.
But, by agreeing to most of the EU’s demands, our Prime Minister has likely ended any hope of this.
Trump could not have been any clearer in July when he told The Sun that Mrs May was destroying the prospect of a US free trade deal.
She didn’t listen.
Under her proposal, we will be tied to the EU’s protectionist racket, unable to bargain with prospective trading partners and without any say or influence over rules imposed upon us.
Judging by the angry letters we have been sent by our readers, it is clear the public loathe the PM’s capitulation.
The Sun has long argued that, in a globalised world increasingly packed with new technologies and emerging industries, the ability to trade freely would have been a boon for Britain.
Trump understood this and saw Brexit as an exciting opportunity for prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic.
Former Australian PM Tony Abbott also saw it as something to embrace.
What a shame our PM has seen it as an embarrassing damage-limitation exercise.
We are wasting a golden opportunity.
Be prepared
THERESA May has always insisted that “No Deal is better than a bad deal”.
Given that her deal is most likely dead, our politicians must start properly planning for a clean break from the EU to ensure minimal disruption.
Evidently, the bloc is unwilling to compromise.
Spain have already threatened us over Gibraltar and the French with fishing.
The Government should prepare to call a national emergency to ensure we are ready in four months, if necessary, to leave on our own terms.
It is not good enough for the PM to plough on with her bad deal, blindly believing that she will get it through Parliament.
The odds are stacked against her.
The Government must pull its finger out and prepare for a No Deal scenario.
He’s a no-Mark
FOR too long Facebook has shirked its responsibility as a publisher.
Whether it’s terror propaganda, child abuse or fake news, the social media giant refuses to police the tide of filth on its site adequately.
Its boss Mark Zuckerberg refused to appear before MPs, showing his contempt for the British public and our Parliament.
It’s about time he was held accountable for the online anarchy he has unleashed.
