Professor Bobby Duffy, director of the KCL Policy Institute said: “Confidence in parliament has halved since 1990; we’re among the least likely of more than 20 countries in the study to have confidence in the government.”
Pacific deal
The 11 members of are expected to soon reach broad agreement with Britain on it joining the partnership.
So in a desperate looks for some positive Brexit news the Telegraph has claimed that the Pacific trade deal will mean Britain can never join the EU, the comment piece claims ‘partnering with thr Pacific giants would be a huge win for post-Brexit Britain.”
However, it has been called out by James O’Brien, who tweeted: “Factually incorrect but emotionally intoxicating. Like almost all Brexit nonsense. Now designed exclusively for a dwindling constituency of people absolutely desperate for *anything* they can frame as a ‘win’.”
