ERG Tory insists US chlorine-washed chicken is “just clean chicken”

Despite Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Michael Gove promising that chlorine-washed chicken would be staying off British menus after fellow Brexiter Liam Fox avoided the question, the Tories’ former Brexit minister suggested it may be on post-Brexit menus after all.

London Film Festival 2018: First Look Reviews – The Guilty and Knife + Heart

The Guilty A few years ago, I said that the acclaimed Locke was essentially radio.
