"no I don't see a argument for lowering the food standards at all, which is why I said that is speculation on your part that the government would do so, there is no solid reason too, also no where have they said that any standards are being stripped out to sell inferior products in the uk market so therefore there is no need to change labelling laws.

Here is the view from the US on the food safety standards issue.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/11/what-does-a-us-uk-trade-deal-mean-for-food-standards.html
Most of the articles deal with the US buying into the NHS, which is a more serious issue in my view, but not what we're discussing here."I have read the article but it only talks about the US wanting to even the playing field with regards to food imports but it also states the UK mandate position in the talks is preserve the current high standards in food, animal and plant safety, so yes this article says the US would like this but also that the UK,s position is not to go down that road. So like I said you may end up being correct but at this moment you are speculating that the UK will agree to this. | |||

"Cant see how it will be up to the corporates that helped fund the leave campaign at all, they will lobby for there interests I am sure but the final say is not going to be theres, just as I am sure there were a lot of donors to the remain campaign who lobbied for there interests but now will not get some of what they wanted either." Aside from the tax dodgers, the Rees-Mogg types who wanted to make money from currency trading, and the Tim Martin's who want to remove workers rights, trade deals with the US was the main purpose of brexit. I'm not sure what other outcome we can reasonably expect. Those who campaigned to remain either wanted to make money from the UK remaining prosperous in Europe, or they genuinely believed it was the right thing to do. In either case their interests have been flushed down the bog. | |||

No idea but I cant believe that the only people lobbying government were all leave based, there must have been some remain groups also, and yes I agree these groups that lobby governments on many things are very powerful and do influence policy decisions, but not all the time, and when its all said and done it's up to the appropriate government dept or whatever to decide on policy. | |||

I can see how he could make money from it, but then so could anyone else if they did similar. Tim Martin may well want to mess with his workers rights but he cant unless government down grade them and that has not happened yet and nor have they said they intend to do so, time will tell. | |||

Rees-Mogg and Tim Martin were intended as examples rather than individual cases. The only other reason I can think for brexit was the Russian involvement with the social media meddling. Which I assume was just done to weaken the UK and the EU. You mentioned "there was a lot of reasons we ended up having a vote". In my opinion it was the result of a long, 20 year, campaign of misinformation and anti EU propaganda led by Murdoch owned media. | |||

"The amendment was to stop food standards in the U.K. being lowered to American standards. The government voted against this amendment. If you have no intention of lowering food standards why would you not welcome the amendment? Wake up people we’re being shafted again. We’ve turned our back on our best and biggest trading partners the Europeans. Our government are now desperately scrambling to do deals with anyone at any cost. The reason we trade with Europe is logistics. Exporting a full truck load of products to America is five times more expensive than to a Europe. I don’t care if the tariffs are zero into America the cost of getting our products there is far more costly, so good luck increasing our exports. Trade deals with other countries means tariffs are better. It doesn’t mean we will do any business if the commercial numbers don’t stack up. All we’ve done by putting border controls between us and Europe is add costs to make us less competitive in the European market. I despair at the quality of our politicians in this country on both sides of the chamber. I personally believe an potential MP should have lived in a constituency for at least five years before they are eligible to run for election. How many of your local MP’s have been parachuted in by their party’s head office to secure yet an obedient MP. We need MP’s who care about their own people and vote for what is right, not what they are told. The Labour Party went into self destruct mode with Corbyn and the Tories now have a self interested career politician who has surrounded himself with yes men of such questionable ability I’m actually worried for my country’s future. I’m beginning to think a Guy Fawkes party may be the answer!, Oh and one more rant. Our newspapers are 90% owned by companies and individuals who pay no tax into the UK economy. Yes they pay PAYE when asked about tax but all profits go elsewhere. Remember that next time you read how outraged they are at something in their headlines and comments. We are all being mislead folks. We can no longer read the truth, just a biased viewpoint. Rant over and sorry to go on it must be the lockdown. Stay safe Fabbers. " 100% correct, the thought that we can replace our Free and unfettered deals with our european friends with something from donny inject your self with bleach trump is quiet frankly impossible. | |||

I genuinely think our political system needs updating. I had a face to face meeting with a treasury minister to discuss an industry specific issue. Quite frankly he was an idiot . He had no idea what he was talking about and relied on advisors to answer the questions . In the end I just directed my questions at the civil servants . They smiled and were obviously embarrassed by the imbecile . If you read my point about MP’s having to be local before they are allowed to run for office, this is one of the reasons. He just towed the line and got promoted . He was sacked a year later but there would have been no benefit to him being there. Back scratching gone mad to all our costs! Also why is Boris allowed to take £60k a year from JCB for 20 hours a year whilst in parliament. John Bamford also paid David Davis £20k per year through JCB . And who is a major promoter of Brexit ?? Oh yes John Bamford . I know Boris had to stop taking the cash but don’t tell me he knows how to export diggers so is being paid for what?? The whole system is just stinking and corrupt . Parliament is the best club in the world . | |||

"All you have to do is not eat chicken that’s produced in the USA
Or beef, or dairy products.
And how will you know?
The country of origin is part of the EU the food safety standards. Part of the "red tape" which is set to be removed to facilitate the sales of US produced food.
Food that would be of insufficient standard to sell here while we were in the EU.
A brexit benefit for US corporations. This is pure speculation, you do not know what will happen with US produced food being sold in this country, nothing has been agreed at all, and I am pretty sure that if it was from the states and sold here it would be labelled so."I'm sorry, no, our gov just cucked itself to the US. The US said they will not trade if it's possible for their agricultural and animal products to be distinguished by UK packaging and labeling. Face it. We leave the EU, our gov will cuckold us to the US again. | |||

"It's what the majority wanted though
I agree Andy it is and I respect that vote.
Doesn’t it worry you though that the Information we were given to make a decision was mostly just wishful thinking and no true facts.
I criticise both sides here .
"Couldn't agree more though the leave campaign basically promised the world paved with gold if we left | |||
