This deal is a sell-out. It is a sell-out of farmers. It is a sell-out of the environment and the battle to address the climate emergency. It is a sell-out on human rights. It is a sell-out on food safety and quality. It is facilitated by an earlier sell-out of democracy in the form of the Lisbon treaty which did away with Ireland's veto in the area of trade deals.
