Mays hubby must be making some more billions from her gaffs

Young, inexperienced, prone to school boy rants and thereby mistakes.Not a shining example of how to look act like and conduct yourself in a diplomatic way as a minister of HM Govn. He should be moved to Transport where his rants would do less damage.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧Post Brexit Trade Deal get off to a shaky start.... 🇨🇳 England tries old negotiating tactics .. best leave it to the EU🇪🇺😜

GavinWilliamson

And plucky little go-it-alone Britain will rule the waves once more and confound our enemies’ knavish tricks by telling them to shut up and go away.

GavinWilliamson is he ChrisGraylingMP 's younger brother or just trained by him in the art of stupidity?

Bycott chinese product's....

thatginamiller GW puts his foot in it, again?

thatginamiller Well done Gav boy! That will teach them!

thatginamiller That's what comes of giving a boy a man's job!

thatginamiller Looks like the paper boy has arrived. Hope he's on zero hours contract

What part of ‘Defence’ did he not understand?

thatginamiller This guy is so inept and so ambitious he should not be anywhere near a ministerial portfolio.

AjMillsey1 Where did this twat come from?

endthechaosuk Basic lessons in diplomacy are needed.

Yet another gaff from the SoS. What was he thinking, if at all...

belanisiya Detention tonight, young Williamson and write out 50 times on blackboard 'I must not make idiotic imperialistic speeches util I have done my A level history homework.'

thatginamiller When governments are broken they do 3 things. 1. They pick fights with other sovereign states 2. They turn on their own people 3. They keep looking in the rear view mirror instead of looking at the road ahead !! ultimately repeating the same mistakes. UK needs to stop meddling!!

thatginamiller They're really good at this negotiating game, aren't they.

thatginamiller Of course & I don’t blame China at all but somehow I don’t think this Gavin will care about a relationship with China & others in positions of power. Instinct tells me something but nobody seems to be noticing, concerned about the route we’re being taken down.

thatginamiller True then

endthechaosuk “A swarm of drones will sort out those pesky Chinese “ said Gavin as he waved his Dan Dare ray gun.

Low grade politician

whoops LilianGreenwood

Wow*wow*wow😑

Britain still holding all the cards and making international trade deals over cups of tea of an afternoon, I see.

JoRichardsKent This shows clearly how absurd Brexit is by leaving EU and turn the country’s one main hope to China.

What a gobshite, what a negotiator

Global laughing stock

Well done GavinWilliamson. That learnt them. globalbritain

Can't wait for season 2 of 'The Brits'. Season 1 has been hilarious! 😂

Are they intentionally trying to bankrupt the country,
