It clearly states the level of acceptable defects in food that can be sold in the US. So example here with mushrooms is 20 or more maggots per 100g is not acceptable...but 19 is ok. Yum.

Sorry, the defect list applies to plant based agri...you are likely eating maggots with your mushrooms if you eat US food.

Sorry, this isn't meat defects, this is levels of contamination allowed in plant based agri. So I guess if you are a US vegetarian you are probably eating a bunch of erm meat based protein by accident

Thanks. Makes perfect sense then, albeit, who'd pick a swazicar in the current climate.
April>> sales will fall off a cliff I would imagine.

Time to embrace the prospect of imported US food including maggots, rat poo, and a nice layer or yummy mold....

Shouldn't really call it Whisky either. Denigrates the proper stuff made in Scotland and Ireland.

Unfortunately you may find that depreciation accelerating even faster now. I'll bet the 2nd hand Tesla market will be swamped with people wanting to divest their losses. Anyway drive safe, or let your car drive safe.

Any chance you could interview Starmer and ask him how he is tackling the annual £50 Billion black hole left by Brexit?
It makes the other black hole look titchy by comparison....

Trump only has 4 years, assuming he doesn't turn the US into a dictatorship (which given the Jan 6th stuff is entirely possible). But in those 4 years he and his cronies will asset strip everything. He's a convicted rapist and a crook. Think he won't burn the US for his own ends? Good luck.

You mean the same "leaders" who initiated Brexit, have also successfully implemented the most destructive act of self harm on our country?
Erm no.

They have zero hope of economic growth unless we rejoin the EU

In fact that geo data is not the problem. My guess is they generate the country based on the IP address of the signee, who could be using a VPN in the UK.
The real problem is that any disposable email can be used and its trivial to write a bot to automate 1000's of fake signees as per this example:

Sorry for being a pendent, but Mary and Joseph were Jewish and Christmas was invented by the Romans in 336 AD.
It might have to be "The Tishri Tory"

No wait. They may be onto something. I've always had a concern our numbering system is flawed. I suggest we use letter instead. It worked for the Romans.

I'm convinced with CPTPP we can get the UK’s 57th largest trading partner up to at least 56th position. lol

I know. Going back to the original question, has anyone worked out any specific gains from CPTPP?
I always thought tariff free whisky to Malaysia was an interesting one as they are 65% Muslim.

...however also extremely dangerous. See USA for details.

Agreed, though customs unions and single market with your closest geographical neighbours does.

Please remind us of the Titanic UK incremental benefit of CPTPP membership....

Not an easy course to plot. Stand by hard left principles and never win a GE and allow hard right politics to wreck the country, or position himself centre right, win a GE and make a start to rebuild. Of course EU membership is a massive problem for him. UK won't grow unless we rejoin.

Unfortunately you don't have the correct buzzwords for this post:
WEF
BILL GATES
CHEMTRAILS
UFO / ALIENS

It's that time of year when we remember when Iain Dale beat up an OAP and received a police caution.
No doubt Mr Dale will block me for posting this, which is also a timely reminder that he also has no backbone.
Also:
NO NUKES !!!!
