What have we learned this week?

Well, that at a very basic level, nothing has changed.

Changing the Prime Minister hasn't changed anything, as predicted, the same three choices remain.

And to avoid the backstop it is up to the UK to come up with a solution.

Any solution would take at least a decade to develop.

Most of the press are just repeating the Government line without questioning, meaning that the Government are not being held to account.

This weekend it is the G7 meeting, and with Trump having declared himself to be a reincarnation of King David and the Second Coming. That this wasn't hos craziest outburst this week says all you need to know about Trump.

Trump is stepping up a trade war with China, which due to the actual nature of tariffs, the US Government has to help out American importers to cope with the Trump imposed tariffs. Trump last night, decreed that all US companies must source from anywhere but China. Whether this is actually legal, or sane are other matters.

The point is, that the Brexiteers want the UK to put all of our trading eggs in a Trump basket.
