Very true, this will put an end to many independent farms in the country only to go to waste or brought up by 'corporations'. The effect of this will mean that our food standards will be drastically reduced while food prices increase.
It's okay, Liam Fox is arranging for us to import deregulated food from the US, we'll be fine. Mmmmmm chlorinated chicken.

Yum! It genuinely makes me wonder what it is people who support leaving the EU was going to happen. Why are we even talking about importing things like that when we should be supporting our own economy?

Whereas Gove has just said there'll be NO US Trade deal that includes the import of chlorinated chicken or a reduction in animal welfare or environmental standards? Shambles or what?
And what about GM?
And hormones?
Do we have two views on each of those?
My bet is the Tories will take the low, US road in the end and stuff the EU standards.
