Labour Finally Admits Brexit Secured Better US Trade Deal <\/p>\n
After months of dodging the B-word, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds finally admitted that Brexit is to thank for securing a better trade deal with the US than the EU. Over the weekend Trump agreed 15% tariffs on EU goods, still higher than the UK\u2019s 10%\u2026<\/p>\n
Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Reynolds conceded this was a Brexit benefit. He said:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019m absolutely clear, this is a benefit of being out of the European Union, having our independent trade policy, absolutely no doubt about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Reynolds makes an eloquent argument for an independent Britain breaking free into global markets.\u00a0Shame his government is returning the UK to the bloc by the back door\u2026<\/p>\n
Back in April David Lammy refused<\/a> to admit the deal had anything to do with Brexit, while and Reynolds could only bring himself<\/a> to say that the UK was in a \u201cbetter position than a lot of other countries.\u201d Will Starmer thank Brexit voters yet?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Labour Finally Admits Brexit Secured Better US Trade Deal After months of dodging the B-word, Business Secretary Jonathan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300027,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5226],"tags":[802,748,2000,299,5187,1699,4884,479,13128,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-300026","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brexit","8":"tag-brexit","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-eu","11":"tag-europe","12":"tag-european","13":"tag-european-union","14":"tag-great-britain","15":"tag-tariffs","16":"tag-trade-deal","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114934135365060035","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
