4/5 We agree the UK’s trade with the EU is significant.  The US’s is on the same scale – yet that did not stop the EU being willing to offer the US zero tariffs without the kind of level playing field commitments or the legal oversight they have put in today’s mandate.

2/5 The EU mandate stresses (reasonably) the importance of its own legal autonomy. We are equally determined to protect ours.  That is the key point of Brexit and is fundamental to the sustainable long-term relationship the EU says it wants with us.

Today’s @DailyMirror leader column claimed the PM ‘has not shown any sympathy for the victims’ of flooding. This is false. The PM has repeatedly expressed sympathy to flood victims and thanked all those involved in the recovery efforts, including in Parliament yesterday.
