Fear not: the Foreign Secretary has announced that work on trade deals with Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein and Switzerland is under way.

China?  That’s a bit more problematic.  It seems the Chinese are not all that keen on UK comments about Hong Kong affairs.  And then there’s Huawei.

Well, anyway, there’s still the US, our trusty friend, a global power.  They’ll see us right.  I wonder how an incoming President will view the relationship between successive Tory leaders and Donald Duck.  Maybe a trade deal across the Pond will not be top of the agenda.  And meanwhile, Don’s got us just where he wants us: over a barrel.  So we’re damned if he do, and we’re damned if he don’t.

At least we’re free of the pesky Europeans, and their wretched rules and regulations for which we as much as anybody, and more than most, were responsible.
