Rare unsigned copy of draft Brexit Deal to be auctioned off

The Trade Agreement Collector's world is reeling from the news that a rare copy of a draft of a Brexit deal which hadn't been signed by Boris Johnson as been found down the back of a sofa in the Reception area of a Specsavers, believed to be in Barnard Castle.

"These types of document come to light very infrequently, as they are usually shredded, but in this instance this slim volume appears to have found it's way out of Whitehall" said Chief Auctioneer, Willoughby Land. "It is also interesting in that many of the headings were prototypes of what were in the final documents - such as "Yeah, yeah we'll do that", "Sod the Fishermen", "Who needs Lorry Drivers anyway, they're all filthy oiks", and "TAX Havens", with most followed by a simple bullet point "whatever".

Asked if the sale has garnered much interest Mr Land replied "Yes, of course, it'll go for a fortune, as it turns out that the signed copies are worthless".

Trump demands that imports arrive on American ships

President Trump has taken exception to the fact that only 178 cargo ships sail under the US flag globally.  This represents a measly 0.57% of global tonnage.

‘Our foreign trade enemies are ripping off America,’ said DT, warming up for a bit of a rant.

‘It’s a disgrace that 8,065 ships sail under the flag of Panama.  It’s a disgrace that the ship that destroyed the bridge in Baltimore was registered in Singapore.  It’s a disgrace that the ship that blocked the Suez Canal was registered in Panama.

‘I’m proud that the Exxon Valdez sailed under the American flag, although losing all that oil was disappointing and wasteful and probably because of sabotage.

‘So, my new policy is that all imports to the US of A must arrive on American flagged ships.  Any that don’t will face additional tariffs of 10%, rising by 1.5% every Tuesday, unless that day is a federal holiday.

‘On reflection, I’m now announcing that the introduction of the tariffs will be delayed for 90 minutes.  And the tariff rates will be halved, no, cancelled, no, doubled, with immediate effect.   Long live America!  Long live me! Hang tough!
