If, for example, the UK imports chlorinated chicken (as just one example), I can see the EU being very wary over anything they might want to import from the UK which contains chicken. The obvious thing would be for the EU to try to stop any chicken-containing imports from the UK. Even if that cannot be achieved by use of the law, the population of EU27 might choose to avoid UK imports.

As this process spreads across the various foods and regulations, I suggest EU imports of UK foods will drop further and further. There might be some specific areas which are not affected very much, or at all, but all too many will be impacted.
you overthink it.
we have already had chlorinated chicken fillets (tumbled chicken had chlorine added to kill germs).

I see no prospect for a cure.
brexit is not a disease, why do you want to cure brexiters?
it's better to convince them that sovereignty is to stand up to the Americans.

Ideally yes, but in my experience they are frequently too pro USA to be converted. They often even like Trump, and that has to be a disease in the sense of mental illness.

Why is that child, who is in the news because she is going to the cult of climate change meeting in New York, going on a multi-million pound yacht? If she is serious about climate change, she would be using Skype.

I hope the wind drops and she is becalmed (safely) mid-Atlantic and misses the Jamboree. That would be really funny.

Stand by for newspaper pictures of children jumping into the air tomorrow. They will be celebrating the fact that they screwed up nearly 50% of the exam paper and achieved a grade A.

this is what I'd like to happen:
we do the TM's deal with the EU but in the political declaration, we want the EU to let us rejoin on current terms before the transition period runs out if we so wish.

I’d like to see the whole sorry Brexit mess abandoned. There is no mandate for what is taking place. This type of Brexit was not on the ballot paper.

The problem of course is that there was no model of Brexit on your referendum paper. .
that wasn't the problem.
The problem is it's a conservative party's brexit and they don't have a big enough majority in the HoC.
When the margin is so narrow, we need a national consensus solution. That's why I believe Corbyn could make brexit work but he is rubbish at everything else.

I'm afraid that would be kicking the can again. The clamour to rejoin after every bad headline would be deafening.

We just need to leave and get on with it.

The only sop I would grant the remainists is one they probably don't want. Another referendum but the question is leave or join the Euro.

no need to wait for brexit, that is the reality now, 55/45.
I'd like to see a soft brexit but the only reason the UK continues with brexit is because of the fixed term Act.

Leave? What for?
There simply isn't any point
