If people disagree with us, they’re not sneering, just disagreeing - taking it personally is why things escalate.

Indeed, if we had any power in this negotiation we would be using it and any suggestion we shouldn’t try to get the best deal for Britain would be getting laughed out of town.
All trade deals require compromise, so if France has a starting point over fish and we want “frictionless trade” we have to ask ourselves what is most important?
Some of the adjectives getting thrown around are massively disproportionate. It’s cold hard capitalist maths.
