The article discusses the current political tensions in the UK concerning trade negotiations with the US and the EU under Labour Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. It references the concept of 'cakism' from Brexit, suggesting difficulties in achieving favorable terms from both trade partners. Notably, the criticism of 'chlorinated chicken' as a trade offer reflects concerns about compromising standards for access to US markets. With two significant deadlines approaching, the prime minister's stance will be crucial in shaping Britain's long-term trade direction.
"As one pro-EU activist terms it: Chlorinated chicken has replaced cake. You can't have Trump's (US) chlorinated chicken and a closer relationship with the EU."
"The prime minister has insisted there is no choice to be made between the US and EU, but with two crucial dates coming up quickly he may well be forced into a difficult choice."
