Farage's chlorinated chicken plans would sell out British farmers for a “grubby” Trump trade deal

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Farage’s admission that he’d allow chlorinated chicken in the UK as part of a Trump trade deal, Tim Farron MP, Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesperson, said:

“It looks like Nigel Farage has had the full indoctrination at Mar-a-Lago. No one in this country wants chlorinated chicken on our supermarket shelves. 

"Farage wants to sell out our hard-working British farmers for a grubby trade deal that wouldn’t protect us from Trump’s damaging tariffs. He's more interested in being a salesman for Trump than standing up for Britain and our rural communities. 

"Liberal Democrats will always fight for British farmers - and against Farage's plans to turn the UK into a Trump tribute act.”
