hi guys so the new brexit minister liz truss yes it's difficult for me to get my head around it too it seems like no time ago that she was the international trade secretary anyway she held her first meeting with the vice president of the european commission maharashkovic and released this statement we want a constructive relationship with the eu underpinned by trade and our shared belief in freedom and democracy resolving the current issues is critical to unleashing that potential so this is typical empty political speech here she then goes on the uk position has not changed we need goods to flow freely between great britain and northern ireland end the role of the ecj as the final arbiter of disputes between us and resolve other issues okay this phrase is a bit of a head scratcher the uk position has not changed she says so as lord frost her predecessor stepped away from calling for the ecj not to have jurisdiction over the northern armed protocol she claims nothing has changed so the ecj will continue to have jurisdiction over the northern armed protocol i imagine notice that she says the end of the role of the ecj as the finer arbiter of disputes well the ecj is not the final arbiter of disputes in the sense it only does when it comes to issues of eu law so she's playing a weird word game here i don't see her opening up things that have already been resolved it'd be too much of a headache for poor lizzie then she says we must pick up the pace on talks in the new year our preference remains to reach an agreed solution the agreed solution was the protocol what is she getting at here i highly doubt liz knows herself did lord frost leave any notes for her or did he just dump all of his papers in the bin on the way out then she closes with if this does not happen we will remain prepared to trigger article NUMBER_TOKEN safeguards to deal with the very real problems faced in northern ireland and to protect the belfast good friday agreement in all its dimensions so here we have the lookout eu we're willing to trigger the article NUMBER_TOKEN bit again yes frost and johnson threatened to do so on about NUMBER_TOKEN occasions in NUMBER_TOKEN but list trust means business in NUMBER_TOKEN and is willing to do it for real this time the part about the good friday agreement is just something that's generally copied and pasted into most statements by the british government when it comes to northern ireland so the new boss is like the old boss empty threats feet dragging and an attempt to appear tough in order to keep brexiteers happy deep down i imagine many brexit supporters love the idea of liz trust standing up to the eu whatever that means they like tough women trust was responsible for terrible deals with japan australia and new zealand if you don't believe me go ask exporters and farmers now she's been handed the poison chalice of brexit let's see how long she lasts let me know in the comment section guys what you think about all of this as always your comments are greatly appreciated thanks a lot
