You are a very bitter man, re-peddling Project Fear. The ink's hardly dry on the deal and as yet it has cost our farmers nothing. The Grauniad's been busy, eh?

It seems that you don't like free trade deals - which is why you're such a solid Remainer who enjoys the protectionism and regulation of the EU.

Are you aware that the bulk of Australia's beef production goes to Asia and a good price is extracted - higher than we'd be willing to pay for the cuts involved? I suppose they could reduce their prices if their Asian market suddenly stopped and then they'd turn to the UK.
