War on Want: It’s Livingston who’s misleading
Anti-poverty charity War on Want hit out at “dishonest” Trade Minister Lord Livingston yesterday after he labelled criticism of a dodgy trade deal “completely misleading.”
In a swaggering appearance before MPs on Wednesday the Tory belittled opponents of the US-EU Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) as “well-informed but ill-minded.”
And he attacked the “trade justice movement” for its staunch criticism of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) clauses that will hand US corporations unprecedented powers to sue the government for lost profits.
