This is quite ironic, the EU sets its own standards lower than the UK, but in trade negotiations accuses the UK of potentially lowering the standards to get an advantage. Same stories with subsidies. I guess it's true, cheaters are always the most afraid of being cheated.

Given that UK is not able to keep its word for more than a year (internal market clause), it is sensible for EU to not trust whatever promise the current PM is making.

Bojo has already stated that they aim to lower their standards to better compete with the EU, so totally understandable that the EU doesn't just believe him.

It's almost as if the word "standards" covers a whole host of things in a very, very wide array of policy areas.
