They don’t need to join. They have the power to negotiate individually. The offer to join the TPP actually says we don’t. I don’t see why you’re not insulted by this offer when the EU gets treated with so much respect that they’re willing to talk trade deals with them as individual entities.

Just checking and the EU already has a comprehensive FTA with Chile signed in 2003. Trade agreement with Singapore signed in 2010. Trade agreement with Malaysia signed in 2010. Trade agreement signed with Vietnam in 2012 new agreement in discussions now. Trade negotiations with New Zealand...

Based on what? The EU only seems to want trade deals with Japan, Australia and Canada at this moment in time and have negotiated bespoke deals with Japan and Canada and are negotiating with Australia as individual entities. If they wanted anything more they’d be talking to the TPP not individual...

I’ll tell you what. Let’s start with a blank piece of paper. What will the benefit be of joining the TPP for the U.K.? Should be a simple enough question to answer.

That’s exactly why he pulled out the trade deal you’re pissing yourself with excitement over. He can’t control the migration of US jobs to Vietnam without tariffs.

You still haven’t answered the question. If you don’t know the answer that’s fine. I can explain it to you if you want.

Again? No thanks. I’m done repeating myself to you. Just read back. I haven’t changed my view.

I’ve already told you. Look at Obama’s motive for joining/creating the TPP. You’re absolutely clueless on anything regarding the TPP.

Twisting again. Joining the TPP not a trade deal with Japan and Australia. Joining the TPP barely qualifies as a trade deal. The deals been done already, we’ll be filling out an application form and that’s it. No negotiation of terms, these are the terms sign here. Or don’t. It’s an insult not a...

It isn’t a trade deal. It’s a join our trading block on these terms if you like. Insulting. Japan doesn’t even have the respect to offer us talks on a bespoke trade deal with them. If that’s brexit you can stick it.

And if you let astute do it you’ll go through it a million more times just because of this subject alone. He clearly needs the distraction.

My god you’re stupid. It’s the TPP that China has influence on. It doesn’t have influence on a EU/Japan trade deal or a EU/Australia trade deal. They’re acting as an individual entity with the EU. In stark contrast we’re not being offered a trade deal with Japan or Australia as individual...

I’ll add mind reader to your list of talents. Maybe not.

I like her as the doctor. I’ll start watching it again now. Couldn’t stand the last one which was the first time since the reboot.

The only one twisting is you. I’ve corrected you a few times tonight already when you’ve tried to twist what I’ve said.

Again, with Australia alone. Not Australia as a TPP member. The Japan deal is agreed. If you’re concern is celebrating trade deals with the two biggest members in the block you may as well back remain and not risk things like outsourcing U.K. jobs to Vietnam or being a member of a trading block...

At least you’re on the right track even if you haven’t answered the question.

I wouldn’t know. I never have been.

DUH! Again. The EU isn’t making a deal with Japan and others it’s making a deal with Japan only.

The bloke is a twat, he’ll never be my hero. Doesn’t mean him or Bernie Sanders for matter are wrong on this. The US is as polarised as the U.K. so when you get a consensus across the political divide it’s probably prudent to consider why.
