If attempting to develop trade deals with the new US administration or maintaining strong alliance with the US means the UK government is not able to articulate firmly our views on controversial US policy that flies in the face of these very values we’re supposed to share-not to mention International Laws/conventions-then the government is poorly representing these values and more importantly poorly representing the British people. I understand that since this press conference the PM May spokesperson said that the British government did “not agree with this kind of approach and it is not one we will be taking.” But again this in my mind is a very weak/reactionary response compared to one voiced by other European leaders and only demonstrates the feeble leadership at the helm of British politics at a very critical time in our history.
