Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20
You know he's talking piffle when even Cameron attacks him:
Quote:
Quote from The Sun: Tory MPs lashed out at Sir John and branded him a "second rate PM" for claiming the UK will "never again" be seen as having a forceful presence on the global stage.
The gloomy ex-premier claimed Brits cannot "console" themselves by claiming "we punch above our weight" on the world stage.
And he said the UK's "heft international influence" was buoyed up by being a member of the European Union and having close ties with the US.
But today Mr Cameron joined in a thinly-veiled attack on the ex-premier, saying people should not underestimate the strength we have.
Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme he said: "Looking to the future, while we should never overestimate what Britain is today, we shouldn't underestimate it."
He went on to list how Britain has the biggest defence and aid budgets in Europe, and one of the most capable diplomatic services.
Our "extraordinarily competant" special services and special forces put us on the world stage and we can "bring to bear in our relationship with the US".
