It’s what the people voted for

I bet there’s some stonking back handers.

And so it begins.

Fires ale. And for why? Can someone please tell me why this is happening? How does this make lives of UK citizens better/safer etc?

Treason ?

We used to worry about the brain drain, now we're happy to pour anything down the drain, especially if it's a US drain.

Presumably the ‘careful checks’ were carried out by the same people who approved Grayling’s ferry company with no ferries. Sleep tight.

The UK are brilliant at selling out their businesses for money...much like brexit really, except selling out the entire Country!

This Tory Government was, is and will be all about getting money into supporters pockets as quickly as possible no matter the cost to the nation or the rest of its people. GKN, ARM and the NHS Blood Plasma Unit were recently sold; power, water and rail in private ownership...

So taking back control means giving it to the U.S? I think many of us saw that coming!

Britain’s having a closing down sale

Will andrealeadsom have a place on the board when she ends her stint in parliament? It does hapoen.

SueLamerton An early example of what's to come in our brave new post-Brexit world?

Sadly, not surprised at all.

Pathetic!!!! Is this what Great Britain is all about Starting with a clean sheet of paper by selling off all out great assets and the jewels in the crown!! Propping up short term shareholder returns by sacrificing the medium and long term. ☹️😡☹️😡🙈

I don't want to hear anyone moan who voted tory. You voted for it so zip it. We told you so.

Taking back control?

Tory sell-off of UK assets begun by Milk Snatcher continues under LiarJohnson. TakingBackControl ToryVermin

Here we go. First of many.

The sell off of UK assets to the USA has begun. bargainbasementbritain

Let it begin TheTories thetoriesare going to sell off everything they can. goodbyedefense goodbyenhs nhssale torygreed

Shameful. Not being part of a European bloc means we are prey to Corporate America facilitated by Quislings like this Tory far right cabal. And they have the cheek to claim to be patriots 🇬🇧 😐😔😠

Jeez! I know she’s thick, but this is outright dangerous!!

terrychristian No doubt a massive back handed somewhere

Corrina35038731 Britain for the British unless they have money.

Brilliant

This is a tragedy but what can one expect with this Conservative government who really could not give a fig about anything very much as long as the wealthy become wealthier and the poor become poorer!

This is part of our new age buccaneering across the globe right?

redalphababe This US company are now free to sell Cobhams onto anyone they chose, be they Russian or Chinese. They though Corbyn was a security risk,

What’s in it for her? Journalists, I suggest a line of enquiry for you. Look into Leadsom’s connections, direct and indirect, and see if there is anything there.

Tory 'Project Vassal.' Stage 1 underway. vassalstate

Taking back control and giving it to the yanks.

Remember your biased reporting enabled this Tory government.

And the post-Brexit fire sale begins! What was it they kept on saying? GetBrexitDone?

Oh look it’s more of that taking back control stuff 😀

Nothing to do with Loathsome’s husband and private equity mates whatsoever giveUScontrol

Sneaky!!

This is another reason why Brexit or remain don’t matter if our government and parliament do stupid things like this in either situation to weaken national interests in the long run. So narrow minded

Aaahh! The start of the new Golden Age! Quick, dig out your family silver! Or isn't there much left......?

51st State. Feel the sovereignty flowing!

Ahh look taking back control.

Finally we’re able to release some potential /irony

This is what ‘taking back control’ means to Boris - becoming another American commodity! How does this in anyway not violate our security? Does anyone believe Leadsom is qualified to oversea that? This government is interested in one thing only- £££££££££ !

Shrivelled andrealeadsom, stripping the UK bare, bit by bit. ToryLiars

Last Friday before Christmas at 10pm. Few Countries on the planet would do this.

Release the potential 👏👏. Sell,Sell,Sell. Large ones all round. 🥃🥃🥃. £5mill in donations to conservative election campaign. Pure coincidence I don't doubt. Start as you mean to go on !?. What a player our Andrea, looking out for British interests.

We all know this is fake news!!!

.... it’s what they do .... it’s what they’ve always done !!

ciabaudo The UK is now a shop window.

Lovely.

Is it a takeover or merger deal? Of course don’t let any hard facts get in the way of a sensationalist headline?

Here we go, here we go, here we go!

Has the US takeover of Britain began? Asking for a friend.

... well if there isn’t even the slightest chance that it could compromise national security.... why mention it 🤔🤨 Cobham

The ink isn’t even dry on the parchment of the Brexit bill and we are already selling our souls to the Americans. 🤣

CornishSkipper And this is a week after the election

Twenty quid says they will asset strip it, load it with debt and it will go bust within 5 years
