Interesting to note.  

I am not knowledgeable enough even to have a view on the merits and risks of involving Huawei in our 5G system.

What I do discern is a political connection between Brexitism and Trumpian Atlanticism.

My view is that the likes of Trump and Putin have sought to weaken the EU.

The UK however has been almost uniquely placed as a bridge between the distinctive but shared cultures of Europe and North America.

The cold war was "won" with the former Soviet satellite states now part of the EU.  Our GDP grew by more than Germany's or the USA's between 1973-2016.  Win, win for the UK's Atlanticism and Europeanism.

But Trump and a certain type of Tory have more dystopian visions.

That's a given - you can see that in the cross-pollination of personnel e.g. most of the Leave.EU lot having close connections with Trump's campaign, Farage doing stump speeches for Trump, Bannon over here advising Johnson's leadership campaign etc. They are two sides of the same coin

Flipping back to the budget, nice to see Sunak confirming yesterday that Johnson's £350m per week was always a lie

Don’t know where that came from. I’ve been out of the circuit too long to be down with the kids.

That hat.  And those stupid f***ing 'USA' lapel badges.  Are they in case he forgets where he's from?



Give it a few months and Johnson will be there with his own, 'UK' slapped across his forehead.

Apparently it has ‘trump’ on the back of the hat. What an absolute child that man is.

That's what happens after they make a nob of themselves.  Dom tells them to stay out of the limelight for a while until everyone forgets.  She'll have had a chat with Rees-Mogg, no doubt.
