It's not about abolishing standards. It's about adapting them to suit the 94% of UK businesses that don't export to the EU. Any goods going to the EU will still abide by EU standards.

Those 'unscrupulous' companies want more free trade. Some are probably hoping for a bit of protection just like how some other 'unscrupulous' companies currently receive protection.

I'm not dissing cheval I just prefer it not to be labelled and sold as beef.

So what specific adaptations would they be?

And how many of those 94% are still reliant on EU based supply chains?

That's upto us and the government we elect instead of Italian tomato growers.

Who cares? Anyone relying on EU supply chains will be unaffected.

If France and Germany wants to blockade us we'll nuke 'em. Other than that, it's our own border forces that will delay supply and Ireland will get a double whammy.

I'm getting really tired of arguing with Europeans and their protectionist religion. Truth is, you're shit. Europe hasn't done anything worthwhile since before WW2. It's kind of crazy how easily you all fall into line. The UK and it's babies have created the modern world for the best part of a thousand years and we don't need to take advice from countries who only exist because of our benevolence. World history can basically be summed up as England ignoring and doing the opposite of whatever scheme the continentals are doing.

With a Boris/Tory government we're going to become more libertarian than the US. IE We'll destroy you in trade.

Funny thing regarding the Irish backstop. Ireland only joined the EU because the UK did. Ireland's trade relies on us. Ireland can try and play the big bollocks but economics will always win in the end. I give it ten years before Ireland joins an economic union with the UK. By which point the rest of Europe will probably have gone far right again and we'll probably have to destroy them.

When the next generation realises that the continent is nothing more than a thorn in our side, we can go back to embarrassing them with our Anglo-Saxon Free Trade supremacy.
