Your imagination about what such invites mean is, like so many of your suppositions, more than a little delusional.
Let me get you up to speed. The chair of the G7 rotates, so it is coincidence that biden visits the UK. If italy had held the chair, his first european country to visit would have been italy.
As participants are listed: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Great Britain, USA, European Union. The EU has two persons present, President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission.

Re: A new trade deal in the making

BTW I don't think an FTA between Australia and the UK is about anything more than a trade deal. Australia has many with a variety of nations, including China and USA - 15 at last count with more in negotiation

It seems her explanations are often wanting and factually incorrect

Are you really so ignorant that you don't even know that MEP's were only elected for your overly-bureaucratic European Parliament old chap?
They don't suddenly transfer into a job here in the UK.

It has left the EU in the lurch though, in a number of ways besides the dosh.
Like: now your BAME representation has gone through the floor and shown the EU up for the insular illiberal bunch that it really is.

No, not really. Most get their factual statements correct, it’s just their forecasting and extrapolation of data that often lets them down

Ignorant? Me? Didn't you know there were british working in brussels at the EU. Part of your future payment to the EU (remember those £39 bn?) are to cover the costs of their pensions.

As for british mep's, they get an allowance for a period depending on their time in europarliament. Farage is a major recipient.

In other words: they usually get it wrong.
