Great news, it's about time people stopped treating the US like a stupid rich Uncle that hands out money hand over fist. The party is over. 

 

Also great to see the UK get much lower tariffs than the EU. Yet another benefit of Brexit. 

 

 

And , luckily, it's not like the automotive sector would represent 14% of UK exports to the U.S.!

Oh wait! 😆

Let's see what happens. I expect some retaliation, Canada and China especially. Europe will imo respond calmly, they don't want a trade war.

One more step away from the US for the rest of the world.

The UK bought off some tariffs by giving a tax break to US tech and online businesses, including those that are viscerating the UK high street and small businesses.

 

The UK now having its tax laws dictated by Washington is little more than a vassal state.

Yes, it's much easier to do such deals with the US now we have left the EU. Great to see the special relationship continue. 

 

Those lower tariffs are really going to help as well.

I know it's hard to take Chomps, but this is down to Brexit. 

 

It’s always easy for a vassal state to hand tax breaks to its master in Washington.

 

The tariffs won’t last, the tax breaks will remain.


Doff your hat and tug your forelocks  to Washington as U.S. businesses plunder the UK.

Just look at past market problems much worse then this it always recovers and goes to all time highs. Some people are kind of uneducated about the historical markets.  For me, tomorrow may be a great buying opportunity if it goes down 4 or 5 % I will be buying big time.

 

In a year, most of this Tariff paranoia will be an after thought and I bet markets will be at all time highs.  Wait for it and see.

So the US giving us a better deal than the EU while investing in the UK makes us a "Vassal state" of the US?

 

Right-O Chomps 😄.

 

Thank goodness we hadn't remained in the corrupt protectionist EU or we'd have double the tariffs.

 

Win Win.  

 

I know it's tough to see, only a few months after Trump defeated Harris as well. Hope you're doing OK...

How dare he stop selling americans out. An outrage

Seems like you still don't understand that these tariffs will be paid by USA citizens. A huge increase in tax for them.

Yes it does, the US is dictating UK tax laws.

 

It was widely reported over the last two weeks that the Starmer Government was negotiating with the U.S. for a reduced tariffs rate, offering tax breaks being part of the offer.

 

Do you think Starmer and the Labour Government deserve any praise for negotiating a lower tariff rate?
