A week after David Lammy announced the suspension of free trade agreement negotiations with Israel, Keir Starmer’s trade envoy to Israel, Ian Austin, tweets about being in Israel to “promote trade with the UK”.

You suspend or terminate one deal, and then go into fresh negotiations with something else you want - e.g. stop the genocide, and we’ll trade with you again. Isn’t that how it works?
When you suspend negotiations, it means you don’t have them.
No deal has even been suspended. Only talks. Well, they have not either. Which is what this post is about.
Sure if you are a gullible idiot buying that BS, sure
Huh. Pretty sure I just described a process, no predictions present, but I guess if you’re going to kneejerk call everyone an idiot then you’re not going to let little things like reading or thinking before you speak get in the way.
@voracitude no I just tired of assholes trying to justify duplicity and complicity of UK government by trying to make excuse for their disgusting hypocrisy.
No argument with any of that from me bud. My hopes were high for Labour after so many years of the Tories, but they’re not acquitting themselves in any way I admire since they got in. It seems like anyone truly progressive is actually unelectable in the UK.
@voracitude sorry, just having a bad day.
It’s just sad to watch these atrocities to go unpunished and all politicians being so disgustingly complicit
