The point about the chlorine wash is that it’s a practice to flush out high bacterial loads that are associated with poor animal welfare standards.
That’s why it is banned in the EU - alongside the very strong evidence that it doesn’t work well.
A quick summary of why chlorinated chicken is not about the ‘chlorine’ as Ben Bradley MP would have you believe - but about the bacteria, animal welfare standards and effectiveness of the quick fix wash.
EU standards are higher:

What happened to the missing 45 MPs that supposedly also backed Boris?
My take:
1) If he had them, he would've run
2) He had a fake-it-til-u-make-it strategy to get more onboard
3) The undeclared were prob conditional on him passing the mark- so BoJo said "that's good enough"
4) Then when he couldn't get any more of those conditional MPs to declare openly, to set up the chain-reactions he needed - he realised he had to change tack to avoid egg on his face, having said he had 100
5) He tried to bully Penny or Rishi to join his ticket
6) But Rishi & Penny knew his lying and bullying ways, knew he didn't have the numbers and said no
7) Boris Johnson then needed an out. So he stuck with his 102 MPs bullshit, so as not to lose face, and blamed his failure on Rishi & Penny's failure to unify with him
