The last Parliament was filled with bounders and grifters beholden to their pay masters in the EU.
BoJo ought to assign his top trade negotiators to engage with the USA, Canada and Australia starting in January to work out free trade agreements. Meanwhile back over in the EU, they will delay, frustrate and drag it out so send over the UK's most bellicose and difficult negotiating team with Farage a key member.
