If the US insists that their chicken and beef are fit for human consumption, how could the U.K. refuse? We need trade deals, and we will need to flex our regulations to meet the larger party’s demands. It’s not that far-fetched.
The Tories have already started planning to water down employment rights, why wouldn’t environmental rights be next?
Burying your head in the sand is no good, you voted for this.Comment

It’s not the chicken per se anyway though, it’s the wider concept of how the U.K. sees it’s food regulations diverging from the EU. Too much divergence in order to meet US requirements would mean cutting off the EU market for our food producers.
A sensible government policy would see minimal divergence in order to minimise the impact on our primary producers. Politically though, they might see a US trade deal as something to win at all costs to show that we can do deals with one of the top three markets.Comment
