That sounds like reasons to start now rather than wait for the collapse and try and sort it after tbh.

I've always sort of been in the "Why cut off our nose top spite our face" camp but given his recent behaviour, it seems apparent that Britain could concede and concede and concede but the very first time we don't want to do what he's demanding then BAM!!! 500% tariffs...

I'm inclined to tell him to GTF these days...

Exactly, we’re watching him embezzle his own economy. We should be trying to untangle ourselves from it before the house of cards comes down.

Well everybody should be really, it's the wake up call we've probably needed for a while to be honest. Far too many eggs in one basket.

Not the work of a minute to unpick the interaction, and also foolish to remove them entirely as a source of trade, but the aim should be to be strong enough to stand on our own (independent of any of the big nations) and tell anyone that goes rogue to GTF.

Just seen the clip of the torpedo hit on that warship, jeez that's some explosion to lift that up like that.

I mean, members of his own support base have tried to assassinate him, but I don't see Hegseth dropping Daisycutters on Bumfuck, Kentucky

So we just have to scrap net zero, get farming back on track, energy prices back on track, manufacturing back on track.

All the things Labour are actively fucking up at the minute.

Dave!

“First battleship sunk by a torpedo since ww2”

As long as you ignore the Falklands. But yeah, the US didn’t want to help us then.

they were pretty slow agreeing to join ww2 as well, but we’re the problem.

1500 tonnes of Frigate hit by a torpedo designed to snap Cruisers and Carriers.

Suez Crisis. Anyway there’s no special relationship. They need to stop shouting that nonsense every day.
