00:00The biggest trading partner we have is the European Union, and we have self-defeatingly
00:05made it so much harder for our businesses to trade with the European Union. So I would agree
00:09entirely. This is a victory for Donald Trump, as the gentleman just said. Donald Trump's a bully.
00:14That's how he is taken to the world stage, whether it's in security or in economics. He is a bully.
00:18He's quite proud of the fact. And, you know, if a bully steals your coats and says he'll give it
00:22back to you if you give him your lunch money, if you get your coat back but you've lost your lunch
00:26money, you're not better off, you're worse off. And that's where we are today. Parliament needs
00:30to have a say to be able to scrutinise this deal and see what the implications are and
00:33to have some reassurance that Donald Trump will actually stick to it. Because sitting here
00:37today, I have no confidence that he won't be coming for our film industry, for pharmaceuticals
00:41and for a variety of other industries next.
