 The same nationalism which drives Britain into Brexit isolation and 
 austerity, is also driving American self-interest. 
  
 Trump wants to renegotiate everything in America's favour and the UK daren't 
 object.  If we even talk amongst ourselves in secret, we'll suffer if Uncle 
 Sam doesn't like what we say -- ask Darroch. 
  
 It's time for us to find a better partner.  What was wrong with the EU?
