Any other personal dislikes that would over-rule personal political preference out there?
I assume this was Fallon's job this morning.

If he'd been selected and ran. David Ward.
You may not like Bleached chickens, I may not like bleached chickens but we do not have the right to stop others buying bleached chickens.
Fallon is a bit crap to not be able to point this out.

Judge a man by the friends they keep...
I have seen politicians lose their job for far less than this.
I don't know how he's concluded "Brexit talks will be in meltdown as early as this Summer" from what seemed a perfectly reasonable and good natured interview to me.
My impression was that David Davis seems confident and well on top of his brief.
Personally, I don't buy them. We get all our meat directly from local farms. The chickens actually taste of chicken, unlike the puffed up items you can buy in the supermarkets.

Step forward Jezbollah Corbyn.
Standing up for anti Western forces for a very long time.
That is exactly what happened with pork. The EU eventually came up with a regime to abolish some horrendously cruel practices. The UK adopted them at once, and added a bit of gold plating, and forced our farmers to comply forthwith. The Dutch and the Danes were allowed a few years grace (and still haven't fully complied). The result, I couldn't find British pork or bacon in the supermarkets, British farmers were forced out of business and the UK TaxPayer lost out.
One would hope that leaving the EU will allow the UK government to enforce a level playing field as regards what gets imported into the UK. Livestock, bred, reared and slaughtered in conditions that would not be acceptable in the UK should be the first example giving our own farmers a chance (going to piss off quite a few Kiwis if we do, mind).
David Davis made the point that the EU slows down considerably during the summer months, therefore, he and his team can get a lot more work done.
I really am not bothered by what other people chose to eat and put in there body's, and find it hard to understand people who think they have the right to limit, my or anybody chose of what to eat.
I think with chicken you often get what you pay for and local food can be some of the best, but I don't clame to be much of an expert.
Why do we have the ban on Bleached chicken? I don't know the history but I suspect if was a lobbying effort by one or more special business interests, that has managed to find a scary sounding name for there competitors product 'bleached chicken' and manipulate well meaning but naïve presser groups to oppose it.
I would've really struggled to vote for Danczuk, if he was running again.

I can recommend "Cure and Simple" who have struck upon the simply genius idea of a British bacon home delivery service at a reasonable price.
SimonStClare's photo of him with Putin is the same. Putin on the other hand... I'm sure his regime doesn't know..
The issue is faecal contamination. Bleach is just a cover up for poor slaughterline technique. Killing lines in US slaughterhouses work at about twice the speed of European ones, and this leads to significantly more contamination from gut faecal bacteria. The bleach rinse helps with surface contamination but not with deeper contamination. It is a way of cheating the test. The same is true of US beef, which should be avoided rare particularly ground.

What more could you want?
I have always found her very pleasant
And Yes, a lot of the damage has been done by the UK government 'gold plating' EU rules for no good reason, (hopefully we can sack 90% + of the people who work in the ministry of Agriculture.)
Animal welfare is, clearly a big issue for some people, and I recognise that. But
1) Not all Agriculture is Animals, This can and should be open to free markets.
2) Concern for Animals should not be used as an excuse to transfer wealth though (subsidies and arterially high food prises) from the poor to the (reliantly) rich farmers.
Personally I don't see why we cant let farmers farm with the methods they want and then have those methods listed at the shop, so that each person can chose what standards he wants their food prepared under. you want hand reard chicken you buy hand reard chicken, you want battery chicken you buy battery chicken and so on.
I'd vote for Sarah Wollaston if I was in her constituency. Maybe Heidi Allen too.
On the LDs side, probably Norman Lamb because I like what he's done on mental health. I quite like John Pugh in Southport too. Then again, I'd probably be voting LibDem if I was in any Tory/LD marginal this time (whereas I would've been too petty to do that in 2015).
A small drop in price can mean bankrupcy. It is why almost all countries in the world have some method of price support. NZ is an unusual case in point, but is blessed with some of the best agricultural land in the world and a very reliable climate, so is a low cost producer. As NZ exports nearly no minerals or manufactures the government felt it untenable to tax agricultural produce to subsidise its own production. Agriculture is a much bigger part of their economy.

I don't recommend you do that, I would much prefer that consumers can choose to buy and eat whatever foot they want. but if the government wanted to add that in to a FTA then yes it can.
This election, and the next, and the next.
I wouldn't mind voting for Soubry, Wollaston etc.
In regard to the LDs, I don't mind Clegg, or Norman Lamb. The other MPs beside Farron I can't recall.
It's really not hard to grow stuff, and if it's something that's good people really will buy it. Subsidising agriculture is just insane. There's a very sane case for tariffs on food though. You do want your country to have some food producing base. So, if you're Saudi Arabia then you may well wish to stick perhaps 10% on imported food. The last thing you should do with that money though is subsidise your own industry.
The implication is that, thereafter, the new relationship would take effect. Else, we just hard-crash out, just 3 years later than we otherwise would have.
And about two months prior to GE2022.
Mind you, it would be a truly exceptional Labour or Conservative candidate who would get my vote this time around.
Carmichael - the Orkney and Shetlands chap who leaked and lied
Brake - London, Leave area
Williams - Ceredigion
Pugh - The one I'd forget except he's standing down
Olney - newby
That gets us to 8, which means there's one person I am forgetting and feel bad for.
In a line up I'm sure I could pick out Clegg, Farron, Carmichael, Olney and probably Lamb. The others, no chance.
