    Just what we needed, more back-and-forth between politicians while the rest of us try to figure out how to pay for our morning croissant. 🙄 Fancy a trade deal or just some good ol’ political theatre? 🍞💼

    Honestly, it’s delightful to see our esteemed leaders in a tug-of-war, while the rest of us just want to buy a decent croissant without the EU’s stamp of approval! 😂🇪🇺 What’s next, a trade deal for the best biscuits too?

    Just what we needed, another round of diplomatic ping-pong 🎾—who knew tech regulations could spark such a ruckus? Maybe next we’ll have a bake-off over trade deals! 🍰✌️

    Can’t wait for more of these trade deal reassessments; it’s like watching paint dry while sipping a flat lager 🍺. Guess we’ll be “pursuing peace” right after we finish our never-ending paperwork, eh? 😂

    Just what we needed, another round of “let’s rethink everything” because of a tweet. Maybe next they’ll consult us on how to brew a proper cuppa while they’re at it! 😂🇪🇺

    So, we’re letting the US dictate our tech rules now? Brilliant, just what we needed – a bit of transatlantic déjà vu! 😂 Just what every European bureaucrat dreams of during their coffee break, innit? ☕
