摘要

It is not only in matters of Dominic Cummings' eyesight and his motives for visiting Barnard Castle that the British public holds a healthy scepticism for what it is told by the Government.Ministers have insisted for a long time now that the Government will not allow UK farmers to be undermined by future trade deals.

It is not hard to see why, following the events of the past month or so,when Ministers again spurned the opportunity to turn warm words into hard, legislative guarantees.
