8) Bin protections for traditional British products
9) Change how the NHS buys drugs
10) Ignore the presence hormones and pus in dairy products
11) Ensure Brits’ data can be transferred to foreign countries
12) Allow politicians, not courts, to handle legal disputes

At least unlike in the EUSSR we can vote out the Americans that are imposing rules on us and forcing us to change our standards!

Serious question - do the hormones in the beef have any effect on humans?

I would like to know how Canada manages a free trade deal with both the US and the EU at the same time? What sacrifices have they had to make and how do the manage all the different regulations and specifications.

I'm very worried about concessions we may make to UK standards in pursuit of trade deals, despite wide-held opposition throughout the populace. I do not see how the Conservatives can be trusted to lead these negotiations for us.
