hints at bilateral trade deals as opposed to this treacherous piece of legislation that’s undercuts all Western workers, amazing it comes from a right winger but they get somethings right when it comes to protecting their own Countries workforce as opposed a race to the bottom nevermind workers rights, environmental issues and many other things.
Baz from what I can understand he is only immediately cancelling the Trans Pacific trade deal not the Trans Atlantic one (that will come with time)

Sorry you are correct, too early and not listening to the radio properly.
The Trump Corporation is concerned that trade deals have been done favouring corporations.
It will be good to see the end of all that sort of thing.
That’s an advantage we have here, you never see any of our ministers involved in sorting contracts for their own companies or joining boards that have benefited from their decisions.
Another reason he is banning lobbyists, another popular move.

I understand Lobbyist’s in the US the Member gets paid by the "gun Lobby " to vote a certain way.
Now if you have a member of Parliament do the constituents of the aforementioned member have any control over how that member votes in the house?
If so why aren’t there more local meetings before parliamentary debates.
If not and the member votes the way he wants he is not a representative of the people so what point is he/she
Well he/she should represent the constituents, as long as its 52%/48% for Brexit I don’t care.
Quite excited reading the title . TTIP will mean the end of the NHS without question
TTIP is gone and dead in the water, I can’t believe people wanted this?
It is trans pacific trade treaty and the reason he has pulled out is because he thinks the Chinese and Japanese are dumping cheap goods in the US
Similar to what the TTIP would be for the Atlantic I.e. US and Europe. Which is heavily weighted in the US’s favour.

Nice answer Phil but it was a rhetorical question with a link to an article…
Environmental issues like fracking will be near impossible to appeal against, trade unions will lose massive power in their respective countries, workers rights in turn would diminish so its a race to the bottom, TPP LIKE TTIP would only help large corps due to far smaller tariffs or none at all.
They don’t mention the Philippines in that article which is where all the cheap labour will be coming from
Globalisation is developed nations skipping across to non unionised Countries for cheaper tea towels and t shirts and don’t we just love it.
