“Starmer must not trade away our food standards as part of tariff negotiations. We are as indignant about American animal welfare as JDVance seems to be about the control of anti-abortion demonstrations outside UK clinics”

So many reasons to focus on the EU, not the US.

Letter of the week
The Week
Letter of the week Resisting chlorinated chicken To The Daily Telegraph Chlorinated chicken is banned in Britain not because of risks to human health, but because this method of decontamination is required as a consequence of intensive rearing methods, poor animal welfare procedures, and overcrowding and unsanitary conditions in abattoirs and processing plants. Such low standards, intended to reduce costs, also constitute unfair competition for British farmers. The issue of hormone-treated beef and dairy cows is similarly misunderstood. American dairy farmers are permitted to use bovine somatotropin (BST), which increases the yield of dairy cows by up to 25%. Udders are 25% heavier, increasing teat damage and production stress, which raises susceptibility to mastitis. The resultant reduction in productive life, perhaps to as few as two lactations, is of scant concern to a Wisconsin farmer who can benefit from the buoyant market in processed cull beef. British farmers are rightly prevented from using BST, and it would be unfair to expect them to compromise their standards in the face of American competition. There is one effect that may have direct significance for human health: the persistence of BST in milk results in higher levels of insulin-like growth factor-1, which has been implicated in the increase in several cancers and cardiovascular diseases. It is said that pasteurisation destroys these residues, but most cheeses cannot be made from pasteurised milk without further chemical additions, which may be why there are so few distinctive cheeses in America. Keir Starmer must not trade away our food standards as part of tariff negotiations. We are as indignant about American animal welfare as J.D. Vance seems to be about the control of anti-abortion demonstrations outside UK clinics. William Swift, retired veterinary surgeon, Chiddingstone, Kent

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR
