Speaking to the BBC, she said: "I understand why there’s so much focus on our trading relationship with the US but actually our trading relationship with Europe is arguably even more important, because they’re our nearest neighbours and trading partners.

    I’m also calling bullshit because this is exactly what you’d say to improve your negotiation position.

    Don’t you understand that she must say such things then?

      My point is exactly that her reason for saying this is because the fact she is negotiating, what I meant with calling bullshit is that I don’t think this person is saying this from a genuine belief. Might be true that she thinks this, I just don’t think she would have said it if she wasn’t in a negotiation.
