CAP's been a mess for years (or always) so I was alwasys suprised how little airing this got during the campaign. If we don't subsidise farming/guarantee prices (whether nationally or across Europe) we stop growing stuff as we did in the early part of the 20th century risking food security, particulaly in the heightened liklihood of war across Europe (yes I am milking this). Good metaphor.


I get all my info from the Archers, so I expect the market to be flooded with cheap Polish lamb.

But at least you'll have a jolly song to hum while it does.


All together now: dumpty dumpty dumpty dum, dumpy dumpy dum-dum...

The idea that the UK will 'do regulation' better than the EU is pretty dubious imo. Sometimes I'm sure we will (it would be hard not to do better policy than in the example of CAP), but occasionally we'll do it worse, or no differently. We will still have to sell into overseas markets and so largely, I suspect many regulations, including food regulations, will remain the same. All the stuff about bendy bananas and what constitutes free range etc is petty stuff, beloved of tabloid newspapers, but largely misreported and / or an irrelevance. The fact that people can get so enraged by these stories, amazes me.

Just so we're clear.

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
