Our country is to commemorate the end of the Second World War on VE Day, and there are plans to commence negotiations with our ‘French friends’ regarding mutual trading arrangements.

Surely, it would be apposite to invite Michel Barnier to stand by our Prime Minister on a podium and to express his gratitude for the sacrifices made by this country for our contribution to the liberation of France?

He and his political colleagues have no intention of expressing thanks or gratitude; in fact quite the opposite judging by their approach to a Brexit trade deal.

Cave in to the EU’s selfish demands and the spirit of Brexit is dead.

Bring back Margaret Thatcher’s handbag.
