Evil EU/Burnham, stopping corporate intrrests feeding us toxic pesticides, enduring our jam has a reasonable amount of fruit in it, reducing those carcinogenic nitrates, etc.
We risk ending up living healthy lives for longer.

Actually, most of that looks like good news, and "whisper it" (as the Telegraph would say), they actually eat sausages on the Continent! I think the companies who export or have exported them to the EU would like a word.

Ah the British People want their bangers full of non-descript filler, donchaknow.

Yes but they'll have banned something really tasty in Europe, for no good reason other than lowering the amount of salt or fat. And yet look at all the cheese they get away with.

I mean, next they'll be banning all the UK 'chocolate' biscuits which are now covered in cocoa-flavoured brown slime, the bastards!

Tbf fair, sausages can be relatively healthy. Just not the ones that are generally bought in the UK.
"Can" is doing the heavy lifting, and justifiably so.

- Your coffee must be better quality and less likely to damage your health.
- Your marmalade must be described as Orange Marmalad. Unless its Lime Marmalade or Lemon Marmalade
- Your Jam must be fruitier
- The instructions for making your toast and crumpets must tell you not to burn them
- Your orange juice must be more natural and if it is lower in sugar it must say that on the packaging.
- Your bacon must be good quality and lower in nitrates. If you like Wiltshire Cured they will need to adjust their curing receipe.
- Your sausages will no longer be banned in the EU
- Your beans will need to come in a tin with a better lining
- Your mushrooms must be pesticide free.
- Your organic eggs must come from organic hens rather than any old hen fed organic feed. In turn this means that your hens and chickens will be raised in a much more healthy way if you do choose to eat organic.

But then we’ll have higher pension bills and will all be the fault of the EU. Killing us early is good for the country. Barstards

…and then there is all that improving care nonsense. What is he thinking?
It would appear that facetious mode is still engaged. 😉

Here's the EU part of the Ashcroft poll that Farage didn't like as it marked Reform well behind overall. The headline figures are unlikely to give Burnham too much pause in carrying through his promise to 'allow questions to be asked'. It does make me think that if stuff like the SM and CU were 'defused' before an actual referendum on full membership (with the Euro and Schengen not being compulsory), whether these kinds of margins would be likely.
It certainly looks like the idea appeals to Labour 2024 voters, if not the Brexit unicorn parties supporters.

Strange to see Labour voters more likely to vote to rejoin than Lib Dem voters with them having been the only Party that has openly said that's their aim throughout. The overall numbers aren't exactly definitive though, basically just a reversal of what they were in the Referendum.

I'm not sure that the 'just a reversal' is entirely borne out by this (looking at the left hand overall split), and, as I say, if the public were taken there by degrees (SM & CU first), then I suspect the resistance would be further reduced.
But as ever, I'll not hold my breath.

Its not that far off tbh, because "don't knows" tend to favour the status quo.
Those numbers look to be within range of being determined by voter turnout. Which is i fear what happened last time, because angry people vote in higher numbers.
The direction of travel will be to seek a mandate, either by referendum or a GE, to discuss the terms of a potential rejoining. And then vote on that, not on some vague promise like we did last time.

tbf, if you're worried about what goes into sausages,the 'non-descript filler' should be the least of your worries.
