Boris Johnson is willing to provide Australia tariff-free access to UK food markets despite fears it could decimate the rural economy.
Farmers launched a furious backlash yesterday against the proposal to grant Australian produce privileged access, fearing it would mean British farmers with high welfare standards will struggle to compete.
The plan to give Australian food exporters the same terms as the European Union could potentially wipe out agriculture if the terms are replicated in other agreements, the PM has been warned.
The Cabinet is also divided, with International Trade Secretary Liz Truss facing stiff opposition to the plans from Environment Secretary George Eustice.
Cabinet minsters are at war today over plans to allow cheap Australian food to flood the UK under a new free trade deal.
Trade Secretary Liz Truss wants to give producers from Down Under tariff-free access to UK markets within a decade, saying it will lower costs for consumers.
But she is embroiled in a furious stand-off with George Eustice, the Environment Secretary, who says the move will undercut British farmers.
Two factions have emerged within the Cabinet backing the two senior ministers, with Boris Johnson said to be backing Ms Truss. Lord Frost, the Brexit Minister, and Kwasi Kwarteng, the Business Secretary, are also in her camp.
