• The post you are reporting:
   
  The most important farming legislation in generations has now passed its third reading in parliament despite warnings that, in a bid to make the UK market pliable for a post-Brexit US trade deal, protections of minimum food safety standards have evaporated as have safeguards for British farmers.
  
  All this has been hidden by the Cummings double standards debacle, newsworthy though that is.
  
  Tune in to Farming Today (silly o'clock, I know) if you want to get the measure of the zeitgeist. There's a lot of people beginning to realise how far they have been led up the garden path. Too late now to rectify the situation. It's not just our farmers. We will all be worse off as a result.
  
  More like this will emerge over the coming months as more legislation heads for the statute books.
