or not, as the case now appears
"MPs said the removal of tariffs from food products would likely only cut prices by a few pence and "will not make any noticeable difference at supermarket tills. The government's own impact assessment predicts a very small economic gain from the agreement of just 0.08 per cent of GDP over a 20 year period. "
However
"........the liberalisation of the market for Australian goods will open the door to food produced in "ways that would be illegal in the UK" — especially using pesticides banned for British farmers."
Be under no illusion once that 'filth' gets into the UK food chain it would mean an end to relevant UK meat sales to the EU, as there could be no certainty that meat labelled as UK sourced would not be from an unsafe country.
It might be that this stuff would be labelled 'fit for brexiteers only' but there is no certainty of label integrity.
Meanwhile
"The committee is expected to question international trade secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan at a session on Wednesday. It has previously criticised her for ducking previous evidence sessions and not giving it enough time to scrutinise the agreement."
So far, ONE new deal (Japan) has been ratified, the rest have been merely minor deals with countries whereby the UK has signed up to EU schedules. Meaning when they change, the UK must follow.

A creep against standards (no, not a comment on Rees-Mogg!) was always going to be the case, wasn't it?
I wonder if people remember we're still paying the EU for all these 'benefits'? Payments this year aren't far off what we were paying for membership.
Absolutely crackers. |  |

What a job Rees-Mogg has got. Minister for Brexit Opportunities. As Micky Flannagan might say, that's a job for someone who likes doing "proper f@ck all!" |  |

worth noting this, from the above
"the Government has increased access for food produced to lower standards than would be legal in the UK, yet did not secure geographical protections for iconic British goods, such as Melton Mowbray pork pies or Scotch whisky. This means there is nothing preventing UK goods from being impersonated ‘down under"
The rest of Europe long ago recognised the benefits of being part of the biggest 'gang on the block - better trade deals and more clout to enforce them. 60 tears of breaking down cost, regulation and other barriers has profited all member. The UK stopped being the 'sick man of Europe'.
However, never underestimate the stupidity of some | | | |

As brexit is slowly unpicked, the huge sums wasted will continue to grow
"At least £450m of taxpayers’ money has been spent on facilities to handle post-Brexit checks, now delayed"
'The building stands empty and silent, however, following the government’s decision in April to delay, probably for good, the introduction of physical inspections of fresh meat, fruit, vegetables and plants from the EU.'
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jul/05/portsmouth-border-control-post-
Another step back from Brexit as the much vaunted ' controlling our borders'is again delated (4th time).
As stated ' the biggest risk from the new Brexit checks was the “collapse of the supply chain” because of a shortage of vets to certify produce before it can be put on a ferry to Britain. There is also a fear that red tape and new costs will cause some small suppliers to give up on the UK market.'
So we have gone from a fast and free import system to one bogged down with cost and regulation.
This was not inly foreseen, by constantly warned about - and met with the same kind of bleats that would not sound out of place on any sheep lorry leaving the UK
