The White House is pushing Sir Keir Starmer to make concessions on food standards in order to revive a transatlantic tech partnership that drastically collapsed on Tuesday.
Jamieson Greer, the US trade envoy, wants Britain to accept hormone-treated chicken and beef, a term he was not able to achieve when the wider US-UK trade deal was first signed in May.

LOL. Trump can throw all the tantrums he wants. He has no power in the UK. I hope the UK tells him to get bent.

I doubt Keir is the type to push back on anything really.

I wonder - if the market was open, would the stores buy it? Would the customers? It smells weird. Looks weird.

Europe and UK tend to have much more stringent standards regarding food. I wish I lived in Europe for this very reason. There are so many additives in food sold in the US and it's making us all sick.

I can demand that Trump be blasted into the sun, but that isn't happening either.

Why are world leaders even entertaining this fuckin guy?
It's also not a great sign that my faith in spineless Starmer is so low that I'm actually glad I haven't eaten chicken in weeks, and a little sceptical that I'll be buying any until all this has stopped.
