EU food and drink deal 'treason' row
Daily Post
|August 28, 2025
ACCUSATIONS of treason over a food and drink deal with the EU are “nonsense”, a Government minister has said, as he defended talks on a pact with the bloc due to begin in the autumn.
-
Nick Thomas-Symonds, the EU relations minister, rejected claims by Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch’s Tories that the Government is surrendering sovereignty or freedoms, accusing them of offering only “easy answers and snake oil” when it comes to the UK-EU relationship.
The Government will begin detailed talks on the permanent sanitary and phytosanitary standards (SPS) deal in the coming months, Mr Thomas-Symonds told an event hosted by the Spectator magazine in London yesterday.
A summit with the EU will be held next year, he added.
