I'LL HAVE MY CHICKEN UNCHLORINATED PLEASE: a progressive vision for trade

---

In this episode:

Now we’ve left the EU, Britain will have an independent trade policy for the first time in decades.

We ask Ruth Bergan from the Trade Justice Movement and Nicola Smith from the TUC what progressives should be calling for in future trade deals. Then Todd Tucker explains what we can learn from the trade debate amongst Democrats in the US.

And food writer and campaigner Jack Monroe chats about being vegan(ish).

Guests

Ruth Bergan (@RuthBergan), coordinator of the Trade Justice Movement

Nicola Smith, head of strategy and equality at the TUC

Todd Tucker (@toddntucker), fellow at the Roosevelt Institute

Jack Monroe (@BootstrapCook), food writer and campaigner
