DAVID Cameron “rolled out the red carpet” at Downing Street yesterday for talks with US Republican Chris Christie aimed at stitching-up hated EU-US free trade deal TTIP.

The Prime Minister took time out of his busy schedule to treat the right-wing presidential hopeful to a reception at Number 10.

Despite their conversation taking place at his official residence, details will not be divulged because it is a “private meeting,” the PM’s spokesman said yesterday.

But both are cheerleaders for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).

And sources close to Mr Christie let slip last week that the pair will discuss how to force through the deal in the face of public opposition.

Labour MP Geraint Davies said that the deal should be debated and agreed by Parliament, not “stitched-up behind closed doors”

He told the Star: “We don’t want right-wing Republicans and Cameron to railroad TTIP on a one-way ticket to privatisations at the cost of our workers and consumer rights, public services and the environment.

“They need to realise we’ll trade, but we won’t trade our democracy and rights for corporate profit.”

The Downing Street talks were officially part of Mr Christie’s three-day tour of Britain to promote trade with New Jersey, where he is governor.

Mr Christie hopes TTIP will allow big business based in his state to spin a profit from our public services.

The meeting was also widely viewed as a bid by “big mouth” Mr Christie’s to bolster his chances of winning the Republican nomination for the 2016 White House race.

The Republican’s recent record includes condemning new legislation to give workers the right to sick pay as an attempt to “make New Jersey less and less competitive.”

Mr Davies added: “The fact that the Prime Minister lays out the red carpet for right-wing Republican hopefuls tells us all we need to know about the sort of Britain he wants to create if he remains in office.”

The PM also met George Bush’s son Jeb in November and plans to meet more Republican hopefuls next month.
