Let's put this into context.
It was known that there was a problem getting Sausages into the EU market at the beginning of trade talks.

metro.co.uk/2020/02/18/bri…
Our Prime Minister lied about this as the negotiation was coming to an end.

itv.com/news/2020-11-2…
Then Michael Gove lied and said it would be a problem.

They made a declaration noting its commitment to fully implement the Protocol, including meat.
Which also acknowledges that the time between the 1st January 2021 and 1st July 2021 will be used to adjust.
And then they turn up with a few weeks to go and say "Yeah, that's the EU's fault for not considering Northern Ireland".
This just doesn't wash. If the concern was so great, then they wouldn't have voted to leave the Customs Union and the Single Market in the first place.
How can there be any movement on this issue before the politicians involved either being sacked, resigning or making a full public apology as to their part in this mess?

The problem with the argument about 'nerdy Brexiteers' understanding where the deregulation needs to come from becomes apparent when you hear people like Christopher Nieper, (Managing director of @davidnieper )

thetimes.co.uk/article/how-th…
In 2016 Christopher was very quick to point out he had to employ someone every month to count the rungs on his ladder.
In 2016 this was covered by two directives.
89/391/EEC
2009/104/EC

So far we have:
The Boris Border in the Irish Sea
The Redwood Red tape.
The Leadsom Lorry park.

They keep naming things, I think we should do too.
I like this, but I prefer:
The Farage Fish Quota agreement.

I think that is more fitting since he worked tirelessly to get the fisherman the deal they have today.

Mogg Meat.

Any meat that would not have conformed to EU welfare standards.

Breaking response from the Prime Minister:
"I do not remember meeting, or even hearing of, Mr Cummings. To my knowledge, I have never worked with a Dominic Cumming. Did I mention I'm having a wedding?"
Currently on BBC PM:
"The big issue of the day is Boris says he has never met Dominic Cummings, Dominic Cummings said he words for the Boris Johnson. Which is true? How can we tell? I guess we'll never really know!"
Laura and the BBC making it very clear she isn't part of the story.

The EU are negotiating a deal with Australia at the moment too, so it looks like we're going to be in a great position to compare the deal the EU got for its farmers with the best the UK government could manage.
And it's important to note that we haven't seen if the deals we've rolled over are better or not.

Because the exact same deal rolled over, doesn't mean it's equal...
For example, if an EU deal with Mexico gave them quota access of 500 million tonnes of meat, that would be a tonne of meat per person in a 500 million person market.

Hi, my name is Tom Harwood, and I didn't read as far as Article IX of the UK Australia trade agreement in force before we joined the EEC.
There is a consistent noise of an over nostalgic trade relationship from people who know as much about our trade relationship in the 70s as they did about all those tariffs the EU puts on the poorest countries in the word. 🙄
UKATA is in no way, shape, or form, reciprocal tariff free trade.

Apart from anything else, trade deals are supposed to be long term. If you believe in the free market, you have to accept that buying and selling patterns are not fixed and market led.
And of course, this. Production can increase to meet demand.
