In particular we oppose any trade deal that would sell Britain down the river by:

- Undercutting British farmers with cheaper farming practices including inhumane mass farms.
- Allowing the import of food made from crops treated with bee killing pesticides and other harmful chemicals.
- Agreeing to a deal that would lead to deforestation, loss of biodiversity and cruel animal procedures.
