Rejected petition Compel any MP supporting Brexit to spend one day a week producing food.

Given the food security crisis caused to the UK any Member supporting the use of Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon should spend a day a week digging to plant, tend and harvest potatoes.

More details

The UK produces only 54% of its food requirements. The sundering of our trade and free movement with the European Union, and the depreciation of Sterling, creates a food security crisis. This is a practical way of deploying surplus unskilled labour.
