The UK Australia trade deal was sealed by canny Australian negotiators transcribing Boris Johnson’s rash promises on to napkins outside a loo! Was it really worth the 0.08% of GDP the deal may, or may not, deliver? | Vicki Hird

Now that Truss has gone her erstwhile supporters are queuing up to rubbish her legacy and distance themselves from her so-called achievements. The Tory Party continues to devour itself and it's taking us all down with it.

I know #Eustice fought hard (or at least someone leaked stories he did), was subject to collective responsibility etc, but this is just bullshit
You don’t get to play your part in trashing the country, take a big cheque for your ministerial gig, & then turn around later & say “it wasn’t my fault”
If it was that bad, he should have resigned
So cross about George Eustice telling the Commons today that the UK-Australia trade deal “is not actually a very good deal for the UK”
He LITERALLY told Parliament at the time of negotiations that “Australia is an important ally and this is a good agreement between us”
