@aral Even hypocrites can speak the truth, & - in this case - he is, which doesn't excuse his hypocrisy.

@aral came here to say this⏫

@aral I see he was lowballing Carney's "international rules based order is dead" speech too.

Whatever the German version is of a Dad's Army "Don't panic" skit.

@aral

Also 🤦to:

"We must substantially reduce bureaucracy in Europe. The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world.

Instead, we have become the world champion of overregulation. That has to end."

Hadn't realized how far right economically Germany had slipped.

@aral
,You are right; power speaks in this world now, not international law.
