UK business must take full advantage of the benefits offered from membership of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
CPTPP: benefits for the UK
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cptpp-benefits-for-the-uk
Membership of the CPTPP, has no requirement for heavy-handed protectionist regulatory frameworks.
A genuine commitment to tariff free rules based trading agreement.
Access to new market's
No membership fees, No dogmatic political ideological need to relinquish national sovereignty to a unelected bureaucracy.
No budgetary system that inexplicably through huge CAP agricultural subsidies hands over hundreds of billion to producers at the expense of consumers.
No insistence for a member to join a fake democratic parliament.
Two tier Kier Starmer dishonest duplicitous government, of broken pledges promises, of lies and deceit, is now cynically to betray 17 million that voted to leave the Europeans Union.
Two tier Keir, his phoney election manifesto, is the face of toxic parliamentary establishment centric elitist cliques..
What is left of old labour oath to the working class?

Labour and its traditional values died with the birth of New Labour.

Nonetheless, they are the party winning many parliament seats and will be in power for the next five years. There's no way they can do worse than the previous 14 years of Tory deconstruction.

Thatcher was there for over a decade and how did that tune out? Starmer is dividing the country within 2 months and his approval ratings have crashed and this is his honeymoon period let’s not forget.
Hes a Trotskyist who believes in authoritarian ways to govern and his first two months have shown this.
wallace
I don't accept Starmer is dividing the country and I think you should give him more than a couple of months in the job before dismissing him.
Starmer is not a Trotskyist or communist. He's highly educated and a barrister QC. Previously the Director of Public Prosecutions. In less than 10 years the leader of his party became the PM. An achievement.
I guess you were a Tory supporter after all.
wallace
The previous 14 years of Tory destruction have left the country looking like a pig's ear and Starmer must now turn it into a silk purse. He and his party should be judged at the end of their terms not at the beginning.

Wallace
Check Starmers past, he was exactly what I said and from his current actions he still is.
I don’t support any political party, the only one I’ve veré been involved with is the SWP mainly for volunteering locally to help the community. They are too extremist though to betaken seriously which is shame as many have good values.
Let us not forget Starmer is the man who protected Saville against prosecution.

Many people do in their youth but are not carried into adult life. Stamer was a Trotskyist in his youth. You were a communist in yours.
Keir Starmer is the most working-class Labour Party leader of his generation.
He was a Trotskyist, who now supports wealth creation as part of Labour agenda.
These shades in Starmer's personality show his evolution and flexibility.

Keir Starmer was not told about dropping of Jimmy Savile case, say sources
Labour leader was unaware a prosecutor had closed case in 2009 despite being head of CPS, it has emerged.
Keir Starmer was not informed when an investigator at the Crown Prosecution Service decided to drop a case against Jimmy Savile, sources have told the Guardian, despite the fact he led the institution at the time.

After so called 14 years of conservatism, this blasphemous bogus phony socialist, this illiberal fascist elitist pound shop Macron.
The same two tier Keir Starmer that has just robbed 40% of my UK family of Winter Fuel Payment that helps with their heating bills, pensioners that soon will be faced with a 10% rise in energy costs.
The working class waited 14 years for two Tier Keir Starmer?
That is deranged insanity?
My UK family worked and saved all there lives, could now be faced with a labour government that could tax their hard earned savings, investments, for their retirement possibly forced out of their homes?
A flipping labour government?
Shame on you.
You buy two tier Keir lies and deceit, blaming 14 years of tory government, the same two tier Keir Starmer KC that knows full well a devasting pandemic, the lockdowns, war in Ukraine, totally responsible for a damaging cost of living crisis, that same two tier Keir supported voted for?
Starmer in just 10 short weeks has wrecked havoc, a pro Palestinian Hamas supporting labour back bench, communities up and down the country dangerously divided.
A wrenched housing policy that will send undocumented illegal immigrant's to the front of the housing queues.

My family have been solid labour supporters since former Prime Minister Clement Attlee.
Everything my family built achieved is though honest hard work.
Please don't insult mine or my families intelligence even suggesting that illiberal louse Starmer belongs in a labour party that once stood for social justice.

you would have preferred another 14 years of Tories then?

Witnessing now what I know my family warned me about, when they abstained from voting, lie after lie, the fakery, the bogus immigration polices, handing over £10 billion of tax payers money to rail workers, to junior doctors without reforming the NHS or the Rail, ticketing, infrastructure.
Many voted for Starmer, calling out for change. Starmer lied pure and simple.
When is left is incompetence that could actually make the Tories seem proficient.
Just listening to hapless bumbling Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Miliband is truly terrifying.
itsonlyrocknroll
You asked, would I have voted for another tory government, witnessing Starmer in just ten weeks into his new government, if I had a vote, I would eagerly vote for Sunak, simply because I thought no labour could government could be as fleckless a Sunak.
How foolish am I.

It seems you also want another five years of Trump.

We should wait at least until the October Budget to see what is happening.
itsonlyrocknroll
Wallace we all must accept without emotion, that our politicians have failed us all.
Elections are meaningless when the trusting electorate are blatantly lied to, treated like something smelly and nasty found under an rock.
October, I am attempting to prepare my family for reassessment of community charge, withdrawal of the single persons 25% discount. Fuel duty, Capital Gains Tax on stocks shares investments. A possible wealth tax on property.
Starmer could also chain UK to EU regulatory framework across a number of sectors.

Where Trump is concerned, he is visible, can that be said for Harris?
Could Harris be another Starmer hiding in wait?

The people of Northern Ireland, along with those in Scotland, voted to remain in the EU. (map of results at link below) A united Ireland and an independent Scotland might be better for reducing tensions than swapping an Irish football shirt for an English one.

Starmer was quick and stern in dealing with the rioters and looters so early in his government with many receiving prison terms.

All UK communities are expecting demanding is fair and impartial policing, equal justice under law.
No more no less, whether Southport or Leeds Harehills.
