Eustice and Oz....
Well at least he admitted it. The UK’s trade deal with Australia was a bad deal, signed in a panic by a UK government which was desperate for a deal, any deal, to make it and Liz Truss look good.
British farmers and the country were sold down the river, when the Aussies were simply asked just what they wanted and needed to sign a quick deal. God, how they must have laughed, all the way to the bank.
George Eustice spilled the beans yesterday in the Commons when the deal was finally up for debate.
He rather crassly and irresponsibly blamed the top civil servant rather than ministers and, of course, he was far too late. If only he had mentioned this at the time, we might have got a deal almost as good as the EU one with Australia.
Once again the Brexit crowd sold the country down the river for a cheap headline, betrayed their voters and undermined whole sectors of the British economy.
But at least now we know the UK free trade deal is as appetising and attractive as an ostrich’s anus.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
