A guess.

But considering it is glycophate. Used as a weed killer and pest controller.

The only source would be cotton.

All non organic modern farms world wide use glycophate. Because plowing is considered bad for the climate. If farmers do not plow turning over the soil and releasing co2. Then the only way to prevent weeds is chemicals. Hence glycophate.

Given cotton is used mainly for clothing etc. I imagine it has lower requirements for such toxins compared to food production.

So my guess. It is believed to be all brands. The article states varicose brands were tested and all had high levels. But given the low numbers I doubt the press is confident enough to single out any of these brands.

Not if you want those debtors top invest in anything in your nation again.

The nation is then faced with a banking industry that refuses to trust any large government projects. So we then have to find the money for any investment before building.

Honestly, if we nationalized now. The debtors would expect the gov to pay. And it would be hard to refuse. At least without harming our national credit/trust.

Let the fuckers go bankrupt. Spend some time letting the military have to provide clean water. Aka 70s stand pipes.

Then rebuild them as a nationalized company. This way, the debtors cannot claim Thames water was anything but a dumb investment on their part.

It is very likely the extra 3b they just borrowed was only allowed because the banks consider potential nationalisation a risk reduction strategy. Fuck letting them screw taxpayers by funding failing companies.

The lines were never privatised. Network rail is planned to be merged into GBR. But as it is already under dft control. The plans are a little in the air ATM.

First off the are not buying out any companies. These companies own nothing but a short term contract to provide service. The gov is just not renewing those contracts as the expire.

As for overpriced train leases. Yeah that is an issue. But only because the companies have temp contracts. So leasing is the only practice option. Long term GBR will have other options.

Well UK renationalisation is happening. Or pretty darn close to it.

We will see news like this again and again. As all the rail contracts come up for renewal. Labour plans to either nationalised or accept community coop like bids.

Expectation is all will be moved by 2027.

Honestly. It is more interesting how little of this plan is commented on in the news like this.

It was in the manifesto. And Starmer has confirmed it multiple times in parliament.

Yet we keep seeing articles talking about single company changes. And a few about accepted coops. Yet no talk about the long-term plan. Given how popular the calls for renationalisation is. It looks a little questionable that the media seems to be minimising the one left leaning thing labour is doing.

Little odd the call this the first. At least 2 other private contacts have been in the news as moved to GBR when they expire. Plus at least 2 community groups accepted as bids.

Now it is impossible to decide if you are genuinely stupid or a troll.

Asking to reference a lack of ambiguity. After I have posted multiple explanations of exactly how the phrase aligned standards can only mean the standards used to produce and regulate UK food production must match. Yet you have not managed challenge a single one.

Yeah go shove your own head up your arse you troll.

Hence why I said. Warn folks about the error…

If someone sees a don’t eat warning. They will also see a potential allergy warning or contains fish warning. In. The same place.

So informing people of the error and refunding any returns. Is no more risk then the initial sale was. And also produces a little less food and packaging waste then this.

So save n humans. Or save the same number if humans plus kill the earth less.

You are asking for ambiguity

Eh

Yeah bad wording on my part. Sorry I’m working on multiple things ATM.

I ment you are seeing ambiguity that is not there.

As I explained else where. The rest of the media and even fararge in another news article last night. Seems to disagree that this deal meets any Brexit claim.

They see no abniguity in this meaning all UK food production domestic and export. Must continue meet EU equive standards to ensure less documentation is needed.

It has after all been the crux of the UK EU trade issue from day one.

Yes I am. Based on a whole history of treaty talks since Brexit where the whole topic was based on trading standards and how alignment was why we could not join the customs union.

Expecting a fucking news article to teach you the topics you seem to have missed. Is expecting ELI5

And you you did suggest a meaning, when you openly interpreted the article as a good benefit of Brexit. And stated that it said nothing about domestic food standards.

You were specifically claiming we had some form of double standard that applies to food we export and food we don’t.

Nothing in the article claims that. And I can assure you we as a nation do not. So you invested that meaning to make your rather pathetic point about the deal matching some Brexit benefit.

I made a very clear pretty close to ELI5 maybe 10. Of why I and the other poster was able to interpret the “aligned to EU standards” as relating to domestic sales. Based entirely on facts differing news have covered in detail while May and Bojo were negotiating.

Your failure to understand such simple points. Is likely why you voted Brexit.

Yet you fail to provide a clear unambiguous interpretation on what else alignment of food standards means.

Or exactly how it is even possible for our food standards to meet the EUs. Without it requiring domestic sales to meet those same standards.

You are asking for ambiguity in something you alone seem able to miss interpret. The rest of the Brexit crowd are not seeing this as a win for them. Just you.

Your need for an ELI5 is not my issue.

It’s not a confusion. Our standards are what we require folks to sell food in the UK. If our standards and the EU are aligned. You have to be pretty fucking stupid to keep insisting that dose not relate to domestic sales.

What the fuck else do you think standards aligned actually means.

Sure. But that is not the EUs problem. It is an issue with the UK. And not one we needed to leave the EU to fix. But instead agree on a party willing to change it.

The UK electorate has not been able to do that.

Much like most other EU nations got to vote on expansion of the EU mandate.

Our democratic leadership chose not to. So we again voted them in power so did get to vote.

The whole Brexit argument was based on UK government failure being pushed as EU issues. It sure as hell was not the EU as an org that lacks democratic ideals.

Yep they did.

Every nation in the EU is a democracy it is a requirement.

They elect there leaders. Those leaders send representatives to the council.

And citizens elect mep that approve or reject council mandates.

You mean the arbitrary climate goals Germany and all members of the EU made up.

The EU is not some nebulous org that doesn’t exist without it’s members. Germany was a huge part of the members calling for these goals.

As was the UK in absolutely everything brexiters complained about.

Yes it dose just not in ELI5 language.

Alignment of on EU food standards clearly states our own standards must match the EUs.

Thanks.

Reread.

Alignment of UK food standards. Means our own standards must continue to meet the EUs.

This is the only reason the EU will ever accept removal of documentation confirming the standards followed in food it will eat.

And exactly what remainers claimed about EU trade throughout the ref.

It is also the exact reason the US trade deals keep failing. Their food standards do not meet ours. So importing US food into the UK would mean deals like this. Where our food standards must align are impossible.

It really is not that complex. If your standards don’t meet those of the folks your selling to. Your companies are required to proove the items sold meet their standards not yours. Hence all the last 4 years of difficulties selling to the EU. Has been created by brexiters insisting we should not follow EU aligned standards. Creating the same mountains of paperwork any nation with differing standards face selling to the EU.

The same reason the US wants us to accept chlorinated chicken. So they do not have to proove all their chicken is kept to the same standards we currently require.

They can sell chicken to us now if they are willing to breed it as we do and provide evidence at each import that they did so. Just like we are with the EU now.

But a trade deal giving them simple trade would require alignment between our rules.

All those ISO EN and CE standards you see on electronics and toys. Are the same thing for non food standards. If China wants to sell crap to the UK they need that documention. Of course it’s up to the UK to enforce those standards. Hence why non aligned crap gets in. But food tends to be closer watched.
