I can't see Jezza having any problems during a month long GE campaign...the press have nothing to go at.
Yesterday Jezza accused Thatcher of supporting apartheid - which people from Mandela to FW DeKlerk have rubbished - great Thatcher quote on asked about the difference between the IRA and the ANC: The IRA have the vote. The ANC do not.
May's sweetening of Trump ensures that he will not slam tariffs on UK goods as he will on Mexican, Chinese and maybe German goods if no deal is reached.
*cough*Bollocks*cough*
He has already complained that Europeans don't buy as many Chevy's as American's buy BMWs
Now, we know the reason for that, but by his logic he will only want us to export Range Rovers if we import an equal number of Suburbans
It is BMWs he will be targeting, not Range Rovers given the limited size of our car industry compared to Germany. If there is a trade war EU exports could face tariffs from the US and UK if they refuse to play ball at all. Trump will certainly impose tariffs on Chinese and Mexican imports and it looks increasingly likely French and German ones too
Amazing how many crap trade deals anti-Brexit anti-Mayites can come up with.
Unsurprisingly, no such deals will be signed.
Yes, that's the point.
We don't need deals with the US...
You're looking for bad news anywhere and everywhere Scott. I accept that the last year must have been very dispiriting, when you're a Cameroon fanboi, but might be time to get over Brexit?
Why do the SNP think Scotland, and especially the Scottish Government is an equal partner?
If only fuckwitted, dishonest pols would stop asserting that.
'Today we are equal partners in the United Kingdom.'
'The overwhelming majority of Scots believe in the United Kingdom and want to remain part of this 300-year-long equal partnership of prosperity, security, and pride.'
'It is a union of equals and partnership: not a contractual union or marriage of convenience.'
'A future in which Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England continue to flourish side-by-side as equal partners.'

So 900 state department officials have signed a memo against Trump's travel ban...well Trump did say he would drain the swamp!
During the campaign Newt Gingrich said you'd half to fire a large part of the state department in order to execute Trump's foreign policy so it makes things easier if they volunteer for the chop.

You really wouldn't have thought it from the coverage, would you! Same goes for the poll showing that more Americans support Trump's order than oppose.
CNN got a bit of shock when they went to a us town with 40% Arabs..rocked up expecting to burning effigies of trump and instead found a surprising level of support for the ban.

Judge Gorsuch’s credentials are the most traditional of the finalists: degrees from Columbia, Harvard Law School and Oxford, as well as a clerkship on the Supreme Court.

It's always those at the margins that are most at risk. Leftie luvvies have most to lose
Trump makes point that he provided list of potential nominees for SC before election - and Gorsuch was on the list. Keeping campaign promises? No wonder traditional politicians hate him!

The list he put out in September had 21 names on it. Then he narrowed the list down to four, three, or two, according to different sources. This is show business. Gorsuch should have worn his swimming trunks.

Well democrats on cnn earlier were saying they were going to filibuster and just flicked over to fox and they thought it would be a certainty that filibuster would occur and that republicans could well push the nuclear button and change the rules come march / April.
Have to say the apprentice isn't as good as it used to be. Where was the final challenge beforehand and no use of the classic your're hired catchphrase.
Gorsuch: the most natural successor to Justice Antonin Scalia on the Trump shortlist, both in terms of his judicial style and his substantive approach.
Still a little sad our top judges are no longer called Law Lords
"Lord" now seems to have fantasy overtones, which seems rather appropriate for m'learned friends who seem divorced from the real world; there, full circle.
Trump's choice seems more 'managerial' - 'pick the best guy for the job' than 'political' (though that's obviously involved too) - there were other more 'extreme' choices he could have made if he was the alt-right headbanger some would believe.....
Perhaps the Democrats should keep their powder dry for the Kennedy replacement?

"Neal Katyal, who served under President Barack Obama as acting Solicitor General of the United States, praised President Donald Trump’s selection of Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the seat on the U.S. Supreme Court formerly held by Justice Antonin Scalia.

What's Gorsuch's religious affiliation if any ?
Episcopalian - he'll be the only Protestant in the court

Brad Heath Also, like Scalia, Judge Gorsuch can write. (Dissent in a case over a 13 y/o arrested and sent to juvi for burping in gym class.) https://t.co/JkwLF5zbhK
Mr Gorsuch is a scholarly, refined jurist whom Democrats will be hard-pressed to vilify. In contrast to William Pryor, another judge shortlisted for the seat, who once called Roe v Wade "the worst abomination" in the history of constitutional law, Mr Gorsuch is not given to the sort of incendiary remarks that could haunt him in confirmation hearings.
Who says CNN sets things up for democrats. First up in the town hall, the questioner labels the judge who got picked less than an hour ago as having a record of being anti-women.
"In 2002, Gorsuch penned an op-ed criticizing the Senate for delaying the nomination of Merrick Garland to the DC Court of Appeals, writing that "the most impressive judicial nominees are grossly mistreated" (Wikipedia)
"Before President Trump had finished announcing Gorsuch as his choice to fill the high court vacancy, the Democratic National Committee released a lengthy statement that raised "serious questions" about his nomination.
Fox News saying it's simple - if Democrats filibuster Gorsich then Republican Senators call a vote to change Senate rules.
In 2013, Democrats did the same - they changed the rules so Cabinet nominees can't be filibustered.
Now, Republicans will vote to extend the above to Supreme Court nominees.
51 votes needed to change the rules - Fox predicting this will happen by end of March.
Then, no filibuster possible, Gorsich will go straight to a vote, 51 votes needed to appoint him.
Of course rule change then stands in the future.
Our system is better. It just is. Having an unelected head of state tourist attraction is better than the "checks and balances" (which mean nothing if these changes go ahead ) they have.

You certainly have some contenders of your own.
The way things have gone, you'd think the FSB was running the election.
Whole of Tw@tter thinks it is Gorsuch,
Tell me it isn't so!
You'll be saying Ed Miliband isn't Prime Minister and Scotland isn't independent next!

I don't know anything about Neil Gorsuch yet, but he is likely a suspected white supremacist.
