The UK has long-ruled out allowing imports of chlorine-washed chicken from the US, with Rachel Reeves in November reiterating her opposition

Donald Trump warned the UK must accept chlorinated US chicken imports if it wants relief from new 10% tariffs on British exports.

The U.K. has long reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high food standards, with polling showing 80% of Britons oppose a ch imports.

Farming advocates warn a US trade deal with lower standards would be “devastating for British farming.”

      Mentally, Donald is a toddler. Developing Long Covid and wasting away in his own filth wouldn’t even jar him from his daily routine. He doesn’t have the mental capacity to understand right and wrong. It’s an absolute disgrace that homeless veterans freeze to death on the street while that asshat gets rushed to Walter Reed to get state-of-the-art treatment.

      The first time around, I said I didn’t want him dead because I wanted him to face justice. I wanted him to rot in a cell while he watched the world prosper without him in power and see his efforts dismantled.

      That was misguided.

        Ah, I see you had faith in America. Me too. He will most certainly escape justice. But we may yet save the Republic.
