Also fun is the news that Frost is considering invoking force majeure in relation to the NIP. In other words claiming that the problems caused by the agreement he negotiated and agreed just 6 months ago were unforeseeable and outside the control of either party.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah!

The Judicial Review into the Protocol is being heard in Belfast
It will take while for the Judge to publish his decision, but it's possible the Conservative government may have repealed the Act of Union.

Sure but he’s not a politician.

It's entirely possible they are both right.surrey_commuter said:so Liz Truss is closing in on a deal with Australia but George Eustice is unhappy as it proposes zero tariff for Oz farmers which he fears will wipeout Brit farmers.

Wasn't Eustice also the one giving contradictory advice on amber countries yesterday? He had a bad day!0

So she famously thinks that importing some of our cheese is an OuTrAge, but is happy to import all our meat. Obviously. Gove is apparently siding with Eustice as he can see that it will lose them what support they have in Wales and Scotland, and lose them seats in rural England. All for two fifths of f*** all in international trade terms.kingstongraham said:

The claim is that what is in this deal will be a blueprint for future deals. So this deal might not be a big deal, but a future one might be.rjsterry said:

Yes, Brazil and the US would want similar access and the EU meat producers are already very unhappy with the deal it did with Mercosur. As a separate issue, I'm not sure anyone should be encouraging Brazil and the US to produce even more meat.kingstongraham said:

Again it is all choices peeps. Get yourself down the butchers and buy British where possible and you will find that farmers will be unaffected. We already import a fair whack of New Zealand lamb however there are still plenty of sheep round the hills near me. Frozen meat is already being imported from around the world and I don't think this is what UK farmers are primarily competing with.rjsterry said:

Australia is a bit like the USA in that it also has a large amount of arable crops that we don't have the land to grow or climate so this is a useful trade deal in terms of food supply. It is not all about beef albeit some people seem to have beef with the trade deal.0 -
So why is Gove, who is as Brexity as they come, set against the deal?john80 said:

I know that SC is a member of the Fvck Inefficient British Farmers Party, but that stance places absolutely no value on having domestic food production capacity (i.e., if it can be imported more cheaply, why should we bother grow it here), or places any value on how farming profoundly shapes virtually every inch of the British landscape, even the remotest parts of places like Dartmoor, as much as the places that are more obviously farmed.
I suspect that even Gove recognises the profound effect that such a trade deal would have on the fabric of our countryside.0 -

Ah i won't go into it, i've made my particular dislike of the man very clear in the past.
The guy is overrated and the narrative of him being the only bright and sensible man in the room is a) only relative to the rest of the current cabinet and b) contrary to actual evidence.0 -
I'm not sure I think much of him either, but I don't think he's stupid. Even if it is only relative. Truss, on the other hand.1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

I always think of this - imagine if it was a Labour politician who had in the past stolen out of David Attenborough's bins and said Prince Charles was like Hitler.

Your reply is too absolute. I see no need to both subsidise British farmers and tax foreign ones. This means more expensive and worse choice for British consumers.briantrumpet said:rick_chasey said:

We are not going to get blockaded so I am ambivalent to being self-sufficient.
If you want to have an idealistic way in which the countryside should look then I am sure many would argue that it should be returned to native woodland rather than pasture. Being realistic doing it my way will only lead to a small % of farmers going bust.
On the plus side the jams and the left behinds will have cheaper food and the metro elite will be able to gorge on world class beef from the likes of Argentina. At the same time we will get favourable trade terms in the areas that count becuase the mugs we are negotiating with are hung up on emotional industries.
