James O'Brien dismantles Kemi Badenoch's new trade deal | LBC

I couldn't help but say things like well, obviously there is strength in numbers. I don't know if you've seen a map of strength in numbers. If you are, I mean, if you're aligning yourself with someone or something, what do you think is more? It is useful to have an alliance with your next door neighbor or to have allies with someone in Mongolia or Peru. In fact, in this case I don't even need to use Mongolia as a figure of speech today because we now join a

trade

bloc that includes Peru, just listen to the words she uses to describe this

trade

agreement that she has signed to us and that will represent a fraction, a small fraction of what membership in the European Union used to do.

It is the first time we join a block. so in approximately 50 years there is strength, yes, 50 years ago, strength in numbers, you already have a relationship with the EU, we have an FDA, so this is added, this is added to that, it is an FDA that the obr says that arrives GDP by four percent, but the key is that more countries are joining and we've gotten in early, so again it's about that potential and guess which countries are joining the countries in the region. We had free trade agreements with those countries, but now 99 um of Our exports will be tariff-free.

We didn't have that with previous trade agreements and nine of the 11 countries we already have trade agreements with. I don't know, I can't make another phone. Instead of another conservative about whether or not they're stupid or dishonest, I just can't, okay, she's stupid, doesn't she understand how stupid she is or is she just being dishonest because she could be a little bit of both? this genuine and correct headline on the UK in 2023 those who remain are convinced that Britain is irrelevant are destined to be humiliated the lack of basic understanding shown in that headline it is almost beyond my powers to articulate how stupid that position is Yes, like me, do you think it was stupid to become the first country in human history to impose economic sanctions on itself?

Don't you think it was stupid? You dream of nothing more than limiting the damage. You dream of nothing but the United States. Kingdom somehow managed to plug some of the holes in our economy and trading capacity that have been ruined by people like David Frost, the idea that if we somehow signed some good trade

deal

s it would be a humiliation to the people who wish we had made. I didn't get off the biggest trading block, the most successful trading block in history. I can't understand how stupid that is. The right side of History is as stupid as he is, so he thinks we're all sitting here saying, "Oh, I'd love to see Britain fail more and that'll prove me even more right, but I don't get it." I don't understand what's wrong with these people, the idea that Remainers are convinced that Britain is irrelevant, they are destined to be humiliated, that's David Frost, the man who negotiated the withdrawal agreement that Boris Johnson attempted to repudiate before the ink was erased from his own signature.

Let me tell you, it's such a complete catalog of incompetence that I sometimes have a hard time believing this actually happened in real time under our watch in our country. Those who remain in our country are convinced that Britain is irrelevant, they are destined to be humiliated and the new British commercial stain in the Pacific. will leave the EU in the dust and then the minister sent to sell it, essentially with every sentence he says he acknowledges the absurdity of Brexit, there is strength in numbers, so why abandon the world's largest single market? Then we can have freedom so why leave the world's largest single market now?

Yes, so why leave the single market? So why leave the world's largest single market? It's very good for the economy, so why leave it? Actually, it's close to it. Beyond the joint this morning, so I almost didn't talk about it. I listened to that interview. I heard Nick's. In fact, and for the first time since this started, I found myself thinking that I can't even today. I just can't do it. I just don't know what to say, you're still fooling us, you're still going around the studios presenting another box and claiming it's full of gold when if we're lucky I'll have some coins in it.

I don't know how it can still be happening and I don't know what's wrong with these people. A comment on the Guardians websites as we storm out of the Ritz and stumble upon a weather spoon that is opposite on so many levels. It is not like this? What's wrong with these people? What I mean is, make yourself look like number one if you want to talk about joining the Indo-Pacific trade bloc. That's great. Why include Brexit? Why should you pretend it's a benefit of Brexit? Rishi Sunax. This morning's Twitter account says it's a four percent impact on GDP, according to the obr, that's what the output does and this firm in 10 years will be a 0.08 boost.

How can Rishi Sunak call that a benefit of Brexit? It does not generate any profit. It makes sense, none of this makes sense, but you're going to make sense of it for me, so the question is very simple: what's wrong with these people? Explain it to me maybe you're one of them oh three four five six oh six oh nine seven three maybe your dad is someone who really celebrates this oh three four five six oh six oh nine seven three is the number you need and I think we'll go a little Marvin Gaye I allow myself a Marvin Gaye moment from time to time, it's actually not as appropriate as I thought when I started using the lyrics.

What's going on as a launchpad for a radio phone? But what is happening? Why do these people persist in pretending that up is down and black? is white, how can anyone today present this membership of an Indo-Pacific? There is a clue in the burgeoning name of an Indo-Pacific trading bloc as somehow a benefit of Brexit. I'm just right, tell me what's wrong with these people. Numbers now you will understand and um, I almost feel like I should apologize to you for the lack of clarity. I thought I'd have a theory when I got to the end of my introduction this morning.

I couldn't. I use the word cult a lot, especially when I look at a photo of David Frost. I know that something beyond politics is happening here, something psychological. I thought that if I read that headline three times a penny could bring down the new British trading bloc in the Pacific. they will leave the EU in the dust those who remain are convinced that Britain is irrelevant they are destined to be humiliated and these are not passing idiots, that's the guy who negotiated the withdrawal agreement the second headline, let's find out then what what what is wrong with these people and I must emphasize that you have every right not to respond at all James, you are the one who is all wrong.

I'd love to know what I think is wrong with these people oh three four five six oh six oh nine seven three they' They took us out of the best gym in the world and signed us up for something in a garage in Peru and they're trying to tell us that they've done it. made as a solid, they have done us a favor. Improved Our Lives. I don't understand it anymore and I want to hear from you if you think so.
