Britain should not be forced to accept lower US food standards. But this is only a small part of the harm done by globalisation. What’s wrong with chlorinated chicken? It’s not as if chlorine is absent from our lives: we drink it in our tapwater every day. Surely it’s a small price to pay for the trade deal with the US that the British government seeks?

EU withering about UK trade secretary’s view on food standards being minor matter in potential trade deal with US after Brexit

... the most hard-core Brexiters cannot articulate a deal that they prefer and has the slightest prospect of winning EU approval. Supporters of Brexit made incredible promises that had no basis in reality. / This matters greatly to Japan. Britain is the gateway to Europe for many Japanese companies. / Failure to reach a deal with the EU, for whatever reason, would be a disaster for the U.K.

A transatlantic network of conservative think tanks accidentally published its secret plans to influence US-UK ... Documents outline plans to form an “unprecedented” coalition of hard-Brexit and libertarian think tanks, which will call for Britain to ditch strict EU safety standards – including rules on food and pharmaceuticals – in order to secure a sweeping US-UK trade deal.

The British curry industry is “dying” because of Brexit and staff shortages, leading restaurateurs have warned.

Somewhere in the country one more closes every day, as falling immigration squeezes staff and and a weak pound drives up costs.

Curry house bosses told how they felt “used”, “let down” and may have been given “false hope” by politicians that quitting the EU would allow more workers in from South Asia to address staff shortages.

In this special edition of #3Blokes, Jason Hunter and Graham Hughes travel to Gibraltar to speak to @PhilinGibraltar and discuss the impact of #Brexit on the British Overseas Territory known locally as The Rock... We discover that 96% of the residents of Gibraltar voted Remain for a damn good reason... In other news, the government created a minister for FOOD RATIONING last week.

t's just 4 and a half months now until we crash out of the biggest and most successful trading bloc in the world and attempt to "go it alone" because our politicians and newspapers have been systematically LYING to us for the past 30 years. Is your business ready? Do you have a customs agent lined up? Do you know what the WTO tariffs are going to be for the products you buy and sell? ...

Deal or no deal, here are the issues that need fixing by March 29.

Sir Martin shared his insight on what challenges the Government is facing, what the Government and business should do now and how the UK seeks to forge new trading relationships outside of the European Union.

On Tuesday, the UK minister for Brexit said that the UK government would be making plans to stockpile food to mitigate shortages that would be caused by a No Deal Brexit and ensure that “adequate food” was available.

Unfortunately, both points raised by Jacob in this clip are incorrect. Firstly there isn’t a 10-year window under WTO rules that allow us to retain on our current trading arrangement with the EU.

The Sun has finally fessed up to a series of careless calculations suggesting Brexit would see big price drops in UK shops. The tabloid deleted the offending article hours after posting it on February 27. ... Will Brexiters such as Jacob Rees-Mogg, who enthusiastically tweeted the original figures set the record straight also?

The Sun ... "we made our calculations on retail prices, when tariffs are actually applied when goods arrive in the UK. There were also mistakes in the calculations for individual items." / "The article also stated that we pay trade charges on more than 13,000 items from outside the EU. In fact, for many of these goods, no tariffs or charges are payable."

The Sun has admitted it got the calculations wrong over an article which calculated the potential savings British shoppers could see once European Union tariffs are removed after Brexit.

'There is a very real risk that a disorderly Brexit will lead to an immediate reliance on overseas imports, produced to lower standards, while many UK farms struggle to survive,' NFU says

Gisela Stuart on why she believes exiting the Single Market and Customs Union is the Brexit the UK voted for in 2016. / Liesbeth Kooijman, Dutch Ministry of Agriculture on how much time Brexit could add to foodstuffs travelling from Europe to UK shops in the event of Brexit. / Roel Van't Veld, Dutch Customs Authority on the added burden leaving the Customs Union will have for the UK and Europe.

Being part of the EU allows the UK farming industry to grow, innovate and create jobs. Britain's farmers enjoy free access to the single market of 500 million customers, and Europe accounts for 73% of Britain’s agri-food exports from this market that is more than twice the size of the USA. UK food and agricultural exports to the EU are worth around £11.4 billion a year.

Usually the domain of survivalist groups and doomsday "preppers," food stockpiling has gained some mainstream appeal in the UK recently ...

NFU says UK produces only 60% of its own food and must increase production to avoid food insecurity after leaving EU.

Conservatives' pledge to end freedom of movement and drastically reduce net migration looms over businesses already suffering labour shortage.

Britain’s food production depends on seasonal migrant labour from the EU. What will happen to those workers after Brexit? And how will it change the industry?

Denmark is the largest importer of pork to the UK but that position is under threat if no deal is struck.
