Boris Johnson has signalled his support for a trade deal with Australia that scraps all tariffs on meat imports, saying it would offer British farmers a massive opportunity to export their beef and lamb.
On Wednesday, the Prime Minister weighed in on the row engulfing his Cabinet, which is bitterly split over how much access to offer Australian farmers in a bilateral free trade agreement.
AMBER has always been something of a confusing stop-go colour. And now the UK Government is finding this out for itself as many Britons, desperate for a holiday following more than a year of Covid restrictions, are not quite sure whether it is safe to venture overseas or not thanks to mixed messaging from ministers. Boris Johnson might have thought his green-amber-red traffic-style system for travelling abroad was pretty straightforward. But, it seems, it is open to interpretation, including among his own ministerial colleagues. Earlier this week, George Eustice, the UK Government’s Environment Secretary, said people could go to countries listed as amber if they wanted to visit family or friends so long as they observed quarantine rules on their return.
