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 tooScott_P said:
*cough*Bollocks*cough*HYUFD said: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.
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 Suburbans0 -

Yes, that's the point.Mortimer said:Amazing how many crap trade deals anti-Brexit anti-Mayites can come up with.
Unsurprisingly, no such deals will be signed.

'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.'

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.0 -

The Economist's take:
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.
