As the World Cup opens in Qatar, our thoughts are with the migrant workers who suffered to make it possible. We still recall how Qatar was the only government that was willing to host the next World Trade Organization summit after demonstrators shut it down in Seattle in 1999.

Weird, huh?

A tweet from from the Conservative party, shared by many Government ministers, claims the UK has signed new trade deals with more than 70 countries, worth over £800 billion. It is, of course, complete boll****
