Funnily enough, I'd rather have a trade agreement with our closest allies that also enforces the food standards that would prevent Chlorinated chicken!
However now my concern is that we'll weaken our negotiating position even further. No deal with the EU means we'll be desperate for a deal elsewhere and the US is a prime candidate. The US can, as I suggested in an earlier post, point at our lack of integrity and demand more from us. They can also use the GFA as another bargaining chip "You broke the GFA, how are you going to make it up to us?".
This sadly doesn't decrease the risk of Chlorinated chicken entering our country, it increases it.
