Meanwhile, according to the Daily Telegraph, the government is now working on the assumption that Britain and the European Union will fail to secure a post-Brexit trade deal. It says that, with the current round of talks in deadlock, senior government sources believe the only chance of an agreement is "if the EU gives ground in the autumn".
Liz Truss is warned she faces a 'brick wall' of Tory rebellion unless she guarantees protection for British farmers in post-Brexit trade deal with the US
Liz Truss was warned to expect a fresh revolt from Tory MPs unless she guaranteed 'in law' not to sell out the UK's world-class food production standards in a trade deal with the US.
Ministers tell drug firms to restart stockpiling medicines amid fears of a potential No Deal Brexit and ongoing coronavirus chaos this Christmas
Department of Health officials sent a letter to medical suppliers urging them to 'replenish' their drug stock, ensuring they have at least six weeks of supplies in hand by December 31.
Another hidden cost of Brexit has been laid bare – people will be less willing to help the UK in a crisis We suspected it from the Eurovision Song Contest; now an academic survey has confirmed it: people in other European countries have a negative view of the UK, says John Rentoul
Tories ridiculed for absurd Brexit advert claiming the UK and EU are 'equals'
A government advert is being ridiculed for suggesting the UK has a "close friendship" and "shared values" with the EU.
The advert, promoted by the Cabinet Office, is supposed to inspire excitement about the UK's "new relationship" with the European Union post-Brexit.
But as many people pointed out, "friendship" doesn't usually involve a four-year public campaign to leave as quickly as possible.
Steve Lawrence @SteveLawrence_ · Aug 5, 2020 Replying to @cabinetofficeuk This is nonsensical the EU isn't in any way 'sovereign', it's just a treaty. Jan Bird @pictureladyjan We left a club of 28 members, we're now apparently equal to the remaining 27 whilst stockpiling medicines, digging up Kent to make lorry parks, losing talent and investment hand over fist, and contemplating food and staff shortages. Delusional. They must think we're idiots.
Jonas #GTTO #FBPE @delyn48eu The EU isn't a sovereign nation. The motion the UK will be their equal is laughable. The UK has destroyed its diplomatic reputation through brexit. Broken trade agreements though brexit. Failed to negotiate new ones because the UK don't understand international negotiations.
Scotch whisky tariffs from America makes Brexit Britain look like a powerless poodle
For, at a time when we are trying to thrash out a US-UK trade deal for our mutual harmony after Brexit, they today refused to offer us the token of a relaxation on their outrageous tariffs on Scotch whisky.
The US slapped a 25% levy on Scotch last October. Since then, exports of the liquor from Diageo and smaller producers have slumped by nearly a third.
It is costing British jobs, tax revenues and profits. Not to mention pricing millions of innocent Americans out of one of life’s greatest pleasures.
