It's the Australia free trade deal we should worry about.
This is going to result in a flood of cheap meat produce from Australia, who use hormone injected beef and up to twenty times the UK antibiotic use in cattle. This of course is being imported from the other side of the world and does environmental damage too. If the independent is right the tariffs disappear almost immediately so this is going to put UK farming in a very difficult place, all for 0.02% of GDP from 15 years.
As Blackford pointed out today, it will take over 200 deals like that to get us close to what we had with the Europe.
No wonder the Australians are absolutely jubilant.
