Emily Thornberry The Gift that Keeps on Giving
Thank our lucky stars Emily isn't in charge of trade.1. The point of the CPTPP is to be a bulwark to China’s ambitions in the Asia Pacific
2. Why would Japan – the lead CPTPP country and a traditional opponent of China – allow China to join?
3. CPTPP doesn’t allow countries in who break trade rules, such as industrial subsidies, and selling products using forced Labour – i.e. China
4. Thornberry cites South Korea, who do want China to join, however aren’t members of the CPTPP – unlike Japan, who would veto both countries joining.

Emily Thornberry is of course the Shadow Trade Secretary.
Labour seriously need to buck their ideas up if they want to stand any chance in 2024 because they have no chance with either their current crop or their current leadership.

Boris has, as I have said many times, sold us short in what he calls Brexit. That has upset many Conservative voters, myself included, and in doing that he has put at risk the possibility of Labour gaining many votes.
Most of us know that that would be a complete disaster for the UK.
I think the safest thing to do in 2024 is to vote Conservative again, but if he doesn't change his plans pretty quickly he is likely to turn many voters against him and his party.
Surely, he is not so stupid as to do that, is he?
