We need scrutiny, transparency and repair.

Trump’s whining about foreign markets rejecting U.S. beef and poultry is laughable. No wonder—chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-laced beef aren't exactly gourmet. If America’s exports don’t meet global standards, maybe it’s time for a reality check. #TariffFail #FoodStandards #TrumpLies

Why does the US object to country of origin food labels? What's so bad that has to be hidden from British shoppers?
I will tell you because these are things that will damage British food, British citizens' health, and the British farming industry.

Reform UK wants closer US trade deals and says it'll protect British farming standards. Ask any Tewkesbury farmer how those two promises are meant to square up - you can't chase cheap imports and protect the people who meet higher standards at once.
