Please, we must talk sense about a no-deal Brexit and food supply. So far, the Remainers’ protests have fixated on fears that salad crops from Spain will become unaffordable luxuries and that a trade agreement with the US will flood supermarkets with “chlorinated” chicken.

As an argument for staying in the EU, that’s pretty pathetic. On the anxiety scale, these are relatively trivial concerns. I am not kept awake at night worrying that we are heading for starvation without access to affordable salad leaves. As for chicken washed in chlorine, it is not something I especially want to eat but it won’t kill anyone.
