RT @LizWebsterLD: Remember it’s not just farmers who are being thrown under the bus, it’s the British public’s health that will pay for this disaster. Only the wealthy will be able to afford the safe food and your countryside is going to change.

RT @AdrianRamsay: It will be outrageous if the government U-turns on banning foie gras and fur imports.

Conservatives pledged to uphold animal welfare in international trade in their 2019 manifesto.

Foie gras is unspeakably cruel whatever country it's produced in.

RT @mdouganlpool: If ERG are now saying they will refuse to back Protocol deal that retains *any* role for ECJ, then Sunak has no choice but to confront them, because the wreckers are trying to torpedo *any* deal. As I explained here, ECJ *must* have some role - EU constitutional law requires it:

Hopefully there aren't any for any Tories actually.

Just saying.

It's not accidental that the toxic pollution of our rivers and seas is happening so soon after Brexit, is it. They haven't even waited to repeal the laws because they know they won't be enforced. It was all about becoming dirty again.

Johnson is a lying, sexist, homophobic, authoritarian, law breaking, antidemocratic, self serving, selfish clown. He is a clear and present danger to the UK. No wonder far right tools are drawn to him.
