Stop making trade deals with countries dismantling democracy
The UK should not appease Trump & Erdogan, who are dismantling & attacking basic democracy (free speech, free media, rule of law, human rights, equality) to make Trade deals. Working with these governments at this time is tantamount to supporting what they are doing, and only strengthens them.

Current governments in Turkey and the USA are causing huge concern, both showing clear parallels with the rise of fascism in Italy, Germany and Spain in the 1930s. Hitler's party was elected. Democracy is more than votes.
