A Trip to America... Almost as Exciting as the Dentist!
Right then! So this Rachel Reeves she's gone off to America to chat with this Mr. Bessent about... well things. Important things apparently. Like bits of paper that decide who gets to sell what to whom. Sounds a bit like when I tried to sell Teddy at the car boot sale only nobody wanted him. Perhaps I should have offered a 'prosperity deal'! I did offer a discount but that didn't seem to work. Maybe Mr. Bessent would like him? He's mostly house trained.
Tariff Troubles: Ouch! That's Gonna Leave a Mark!
Now there's this Mr. Trump and he's put up these things called 'tariffs.' Sounds like something you use to stick feathers on. Anyway they make things cost more especially cars and metal! I once tried to paint my Mini with gravy but it didn't end well. Perhaps if I'd slapped a tariff on the gravy it would have stayed put! 'If you know what I mean'.
Europe! My Next Door Neighbour... with All the Best Biscuits!
Rachel Reeves is also trying to be friends with Europe again. After this Brexit thing which sounded a bit like a fancy breakfast. She says it's important because they're our neighbours. And they probably have biscuits. Last time I tried to make friends with my neighbour I accidentally superglued his cat to his head. This trade business sounds less messy thankfully. 'Oh dear'.
No Funny Business with the Food! (Unless it Involves Custard)
Now she's saying we won't change our food just to make America happy which is good because I quite like my marmalade sandwiches just the way they are. Although a bit of custard wouldn't go amiss. I once tried to make a giant custard pie for the Queen. It ended up on my head. 'If I don't laugh I'll cry'.
China? Sounds Like a Good Takeaway!
Then there's China. Apparently they're a bit naughty with how they sell things so we're putting up stricter rules. Makes me think of when I tried to sell my old socks as 'genuine Bean worn luxury' on eBay. Didn't go down well. I had to hide from Mrs. Wicket for weeks.
So What Does It All Mean? Back to Bed I Think!
So there you have it. Trade deals tariffs Europe America China... it's all a bit much for my little brain. Perhaps I'll just have a cup of tea and a nap. Unless Teddy wants to get involved. Oh dear. 'Goodnight sleep tight don't let the bedbugs bite!'

Tea and a nap sounds like a brilliant plan.
