Are we not already losing out on trade, even before embarking on a trade war? Convince me this isn’t just blind exceptionalism over cold hard facts.
Its so stupid that we are contemplating a trade war with our closest friends & allies.
We share the same values with them in terms of regulatory standards (unlike the USA), so we should have kept the customs union instead of pretending that we can out-compete the EU (or India, China, USA) in a trade negotiation.
The guy who negotiated the protocol now admits that it doesn’t work as it threatens the peace in the island of Ireland…hence he failed this massively important task. He should do the honourable thing: apologies publicly and then commit harakiri. (/S?)
We should fear a trade war. Tories have killed so many vulnerable people and now they’re trying to make everyone else vulnerable.
Why just a trade war? fucking grow some balls lord frost, we need you manning the front lines!!!
Yes, let’s start a fucking trade war with our biggest market and there will of course be zero negative impacts on the public. It’s all sunny outcomes. And are we fighting terrorism? Are we fighting against people trying to murder us? No.
What the fuck do we possibility benefit?
Trade war?
Probably so we have to deal with their own + friends company and get further ripped off?
A type of war where the primary weapon is raising tariffs and putting restrictions on another country’s imports…

hmm I think the UK is under prepared for a trade war.
> He also argued that the EU would be punishing its own voters by starting a trade war at a time of rising inflation and the cost of living crisis. “Do they really want to make prices even higher for their consumers and their voters? I think that’s an interesting and important question.”
It’s a two-way road and this toad talks as if only the EU would suffer. And I bet plenty of their voters lap this garbage up.
Excellent idea! I was at a complete loss as to how the tories could build upon their economic fuck ups, I didn’t think it would be possible to top the dizzying heights of brexit and their regressive taxation regime, but a trade war would do it!
This government has gone full on Banzai.
That never worked out well either.
He’s pushing for the trade war with the WW2 / blitz spirit simply because it give the Tories and the media more chance to keep pushing the BS claims that Brexit is wonderful and the only problem is the “Evil EU”, plus the right wing press will love to get back the headlines of “EU at WAR with the UK”
Anything to distract from how bad Brexit is and distract from the Tory lies, law breaking and corruption by starting a WAR.
Fucking Tory lying cunts
The US too. Upholding the GFA was a crucial sticking point for Biden when it comes to negotiating a deal with the US for trade. Then there is the fact that other countries will be looking at this and wondering why they should trust our government to uphold a deal with them. It makes us look like a terrible country to do business with.
Millionaire happy for others to show BLITZ spirit whilst he relaxes on a beach somewhere far faraway from the shitshow and any consequences of it.
….. Because, cunt.
This oven ready deal is certainly coming back to give them the shits now.
Lord Frost, upon his ceramic throne, still pretending like he’s king of the Brexit deal…
Good luck with that, the EU has on multiple occasions forced the US to back out of trade wars.
Frost has repeatedly shown he hasn’t got a fucking clue. Why would anyone listen to him.
We should fear these pricks running the country for the next few years…
And people still need prove of Russian interference in the UK parliament.
**Goddamn**. Just when I think the UK government can’t be *any* dumber.
No solutions, no idea of any actual solution. The UK has no intention of any serious workable relationship with the EU. Frost and the brexit cronies all wanted fascist Trump to win the USA election to help their glorious brexit. The UK will be backing the cristo fascist loons in 2024. Meanwhile just milk it baby!
At this point, assuming the Tories go ahead and do it, I think the EU just need to suspend all trade agreements with the UK indefinitely. There’s no point carrying on such agreements with a government that has proven itself so gleefully willing to break them at any opportunity to do so.
All Macron has to do is order “thorough” controls at the border. And to time a trade war just ahead of summer? That’s genius even by this spineless jellyfish frostie Frost: The queue for the Channel crossing will start in Manchester.
Where are all the decent Tories? I’m assuming that they exist?
Supply chains in my industry still haven’t recovered from Brexit and covid, I can’t wait for these twats to make it worse. It’s like they’re trying to put us into the worst depression the country has ever seen.
Rich people have nothing to fear from a trade war.
Everybody else will struggle to afford Crunchy Nut.
The wealthy should however fear a Conservative government…
UK rapidly hurtling towards pariah state status under the leadership of these clowns.
I cannot express in words how much contempt I hold for these people
Frost: That’ll show them?
Let me guess. The EU needs trade with us more than we need trade with them 🙄
The EU trade war will be mild compared to the US sanctions that are coming.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed, is he?
Can’t we just rip up Fraud Frost instead?
Ah yes. Trade wars. Fantastic for the economy.

Yes

The country that has been unable to establish any form of custom checks on imports from the EU and has openly admitted it wont have them in place until 2024 ([https://www.euractiv.com/section/economy-jobs/news/uk-confirms-plan-not-to-introduce-checks-on-eu-goods-until-2024/](https://www.euractiv.com/section/economy-jobs/news/uk-confirms-plan-not-to-introduce-checks-on-eu-goods-until-2024/))
