Bolton v. aggressive: “the ONLY question, the ONLY question for the the United States is “What is in OUR National Interest” and if you don’t like that I am sorry, but that is the fact “

@BorisJohnson & @trussliz wouldn’t recognise GB national interest smacking them on the nose

“Bolton is best known for a moustache that looks like a merkin made from Boris Johnson’s back hair. He is less well known..for being quite possibly the only person on planet earth still happy to claim that the Iraq war was a good idea”

“That mini UK-US trade deals will require the UK to diverge from EU standards, and so make a deal with the EU harder, not easier, & so make the prospect of no-deal Brexit greater, not weaker, is another blindingly obvious reality that it is easier for the UK to ignore, for now.”

For those in doubt about what “a merkin” might be, here you are

Thank you @RobinShipston for this Colbert clip with Bolton’s merkin front and centre stage, especially for you @tompeck

And from another interesting link from @RobinShipston

Here is a thread from @EmporersNewC that makes one wonder what Bolton really had in mind given Sectoral Trade deals seem - well - unlikely.
