The US-UK trade deal will leave a bad taste in British mouths
Chlorinated chicken may be good enough for the Americans, it is implied, but why should the British have to accept such barbarities as the price of a free trade deal with Donald Trump’s America? Certainly the Environment Secretary, Michael Gove, who is also the minister in charge of food, doesn’t seem to think it is a price worth paying. Last week he issued some particularly pointed warnings about food standards, and why the British consumer and farmer is not about to be asked to abandon animal welfare, food safety or, indeed, taste and nutritional value for the sake of economics.

Chelsea are confident they will make three to four more transfers before the window closes at the end of next month, but Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk won't be one of them.

NewsSky NewsChlorinated chicken imports not ruled out under US-UK trade deal
The Government has refused to rule out lifting the ban on chlorinated chicken as part of a future US-UK trade deal after Brexit. The American Farming Association is adamant that any deal must include agriculture, meaning chlorine washed chickens, hormone-fed beef and genetically modified crops could be exported to the UK. International Trade Secretary Liam Fox, who is in the US to prepare the ground for a future trade deal, is reportedly open to agreeing to such products - which are banned by the EU - being imported to the UK in order to secure an agreement.

Either the BBC is paying market rates for top talent, or it underpays women. Which one is it, lefties?
"The BBC is being unfairly attacked: it has to pay market rates for top talent." "The BBC doesn't pay women enough." Logically, those two statements cannot both be true. The publication of the salaries of BBC presenters could easily provoke, as the Corporation's defenders would see it, a populist backlash.

Like the canary in the mine, journalists can serve as an early alert to the erosion of the rights of every citizen. Where media freedom is curtailed other freedoms invariably follow.
