ELSEWHERE IN BATSHIT BREXIT BRITAIN (AND NORN IRON)
EU27 wants UK as close friend & partner and will enter talks on future with open, positive mind. But given UK red lines only an FTA is possible. It will be the first FTA in history to loosen, not strengthen economic ties. Drifting apart is essence of #Brexit.

.@AmbJohnBolton conflates preemptive and preventive strikes, arguing that N Korea poses an imminent threat when in fact it poses a gathering threat. The same argument could be used to “justify” an attack on Russia or China. This is a prescription for war. https://t.co/HNLvvN3iDI
