TTIP is an entirely new can of worms which could have a hugely negative impact on a whole range of issues here such as food regulations, employment law, our health service and other public services to name just a few. John Hilary has put together an excellent info pack on TTIP, which can be downloaded from War on Want's website http://www.waronwant.org/campaigns/trade-justice/more/inform/18078-what-is-ttip.

The dual effects of TTIP (especially the provision for 'Investor-State Dispute Settlement’ which would allow corporations to legally challenge any legislation that has an adverse impact on profits) and the Infrastructure Bill could be catastrophic for our green spaces and protected environments. I believe that we may be about to see the biggest land-grab by private interests since the Enclosure Acts.
