Labour has a clear message, a 4 day week, no student debt, no chlorinated chicken, and pain killers will still be available on the NHS.

This is an effective sales pitch.

Pretty sure back in the day under a labour government we had a 3 day week - and that did not work out too well..

The Three-Day Week was one of several measures introduced in the United Kingdom by the Conservative government to conserve electricity,

Legislation | Food Safety

In the EU there are no allowable limits for foreign bodies in food products. In the USA there are and when those limits found to have been exceed then action is taken. Which do you think is the safest policy?

Do you think there is no foreign body contamination in your EU food?

[darmstadt]

UK legislation, commencing with the Food Safety Act 1990 and continuing through the General Food Regulations 2004, introduced and maintain the concept of ‘due diligence’ which allows a manufacturer or seller to claim that, whilst the foreign body is present in the product, they have done as much as is ‘reasonably practicable’ to prevent the contamination.
European legislation requires that food complies with various hygiene regulations specifying that food must be safe. All potential hazards must be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level.
In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Regulations on Adulteration involving Hard or Sharp Foreign Objects legislates in this area. The FDA considers that a product is adulterated if it contains a sharp or hard foreign object that measures 7 – 25 mm in length, is ready to eat or requires minimal preparation that would not eliminate or neutralise the hazard prior to consumption. Failure to protect product may lead to prosecution by the regulatory authorities.

So the EU turns a blind eye to food safety then. Good job we're leaving.

We are going to have a zero day week the things are going in the Market just now.
