Yeah that would be nasty timing for Labour.
But a spotcheck of lorries found rotted meat, how much can you lower the requirements on checks and how long can you kick the can down the road?
Non EU food is already checked, but you are really running on trust and there are always bandits (see also the horse lasagna moment).
Well, at least in NI we have "other problems"but at least food gets checked.
JWestland-
didn’t they do spot checks on 20 lorry and 18 of them had some form of contraband. It’s not just rotting meat it the amount of smuggling going on to avoid paying tax too.
I do wonder where this dodgy meat is going. I assume not in the major supermarkets. Assume to those people who sell out the back of a lorry at the car boot sales. One of our local pubs has started doing a meat raffle on a Sunday (back to the 70s) we don’t eat meat but the idea of eating meat of unknown pronounce, fuck that.

Aren’t full customs check supposed to be coming in next winter (just after a general election, funny that) it keeps being put off and Labour would have to do the same.
