Saw in the Times that is what he wants. If our government gets taken in by (America First) Trump then we will never vote Labour again and we have been life long Labour supporters. Trump has selected a ridiculous cabinet and we need to be REALLY careful about trusting them. As the Bank of England said we had to make headway with Europe and trade to reduce the untold harm that Brexit has done to us. So thank you Farage and Boris Johnson. Thank you so much for dishing out the lies.

Dickens there’s an opinion that HM Treasury pulled the plug on Truss. Whether for sound economic reasons, who knows?

What did for Truss was the financial markets and the Bank of England.

All that 'the Treasury' can do is advise the chancellor. It can't actually interfere with a budget.

'The financial markets' are very easily spooked. At the slightest hint of a problem they'll start panic selling. or shorting the pound...

If the pound gets any shorter - watch prices rocket again!

Well to answer the question in the title, stuff Trump, he has responsibility for the USA not the UK or the EU. Not sure there's any day to day American stuff I need, certainly not food for sure. I get we import a lot of American wine, but I'd we don't want western European wine, Eastern European is good as is South African, and Australian. I'd much rather support the Australian economy than the US economy if we do have to import.from far away

Why support Australia over the US?
