Important businesses are losing patience with the UK government over progress — or rather lack of it — in the Brexit negotiations. With just 10 months to go before Britain leaves the EU, that is entirely comprehensible. Airbus, for example, has threatened it might pull out of the UK altogether if no trade deal were agreed. Amazingly, Jeremy Hunt, health secretary, responded that it was “completely inappropriate for businesses to be making those kind of threats”. Is this the “party of business”?
对于英国退欧谈判进展(或者说根本没有进展),重要企业正在失去对英国政府的耐心。这是完全可以理解的,毕竟现在距英国离开欧盟只有10个月的时间了。例如,空客(Airbus)威胁说,如果没有达成任何贸易协议,它可能会彻底退出英国。令人惊讶的是,英国卫生大臣杰里米•亨特(Jeremy Hunt)回应说,“企业做出这种威胁是完全不合适的”。保守党还是“商业党”吗?
