Unless US agriculture meets British standards, it can join the back of the queue, writes former agriculture minister George Eustice

The US published its negotiating priorities for any post-Brexit trade deal with the UK last week, and Woody Johnson, the US ambassador to Britain, invited us all to look again at US production methods and to drop our opposition to certain practices such as the use of hormones in beef and chlorine washes for chicken.

Too late! The deal is probably already done.

Chlorinated chicken is safe. Remember that our food concerns here were food processing firms with mostly eastern European staff re labelling out of date food. We don't carry out safe food practices here .

Trust? Food standards, the environment, rights & Ireland were THE primary reasons I voted remain... glad to see the debate has finally reached the most important part for the gen pop. Thanx for the op to learn economics over last few years... now we're screwed for sure. Save nhs

As if not trading with the US was in the UK's interest... peoplesvote

What trade deal? With the net closing in around Trump in the US, he's more than likely to renege on anything he's promised.

Hey arseholes, if you don't like munching chlorine washed chickens then don't drink fvcking tap water! ha ha ha

'Oh no, chlorine washed chickens!', the EU loving Brexit/Trump hating liberalati cry as they nibble their chlorine washed 'boutique' salad from Waitrose! ha ha

Know where your food comes from and vote with your dollars!

Well let's not forget about their hormone filled meat & dairy and their GM crops as well. If they ever get over here, they need an American flag on them so we know to avoid them.

It's up to the consumers.. Buy it or not buy it, just like halal food

Why would we believe another brexitier lie? We’ve had plenty.

and inferior Brazilian beef coming your way — and now British airways is now a european airline to get a name change within a few years - go it alone ! See who cares !

“Unless we deliver on our manifesto commitment…” - Something that is extremely unlikely to happen.

I.e. trade deals involve giving up sovereignty.

what y'all do about the chlorine in your drinking water?

sounds right to me MagnersFarm TheFloofLady scot_homestead

Robert Richter apologises for describing George Pell's abuse as 'vanilla sex'After a ‘sleepless night reflecting’, barrister says sorry for his ‘terrible choice of phrase’ Bullshit. Defending your client is one thing. Defending criminal rape as 'a vanilla rape' is a completely different thing, and it's still reprehensible. 'it was in no way meant to belittle or minimise the suffering and hurt of victims of sex abuse'. Usually I'm always up to give people the benefit of a doubt, but not in this case. What a vile man! What a disgrace!
