00:05made it so much harder for our businesses to trade with the European Union. So I would agree

00:14That's how he is taken to the world stage, whether it's in security or in economics. He is a bully.

00:26money, you're not better off, you're worse off. And that's where we are today. Parliament needs

00:30to have a say to be able to scrutinise this deal and see what the implications are and

00:33to have some reassurance that Donald Trump will actually stick to it. Because sitting here

00:37today, I have no confidence that he won't be coming for our film industry, for pharmaceuticals
