Brexit: Are you happy to pay more for food? Feat. James Max & Zoe Lyons | Storm Huntley

- New physical border checks on goods imported from the EU, including meat, fish and dairy, have come into force.
The government believes the related charges will cost British firms about £330 million annually and see food inflation rise over three years. 0.2% over thee years.
But food industry bosses have said the checks will add billions to the cost of doing business with the EU.
Customers at supermarkets, restaurants and takeaways could pay more as a result.

Brexit is like watching your favourite library being burnt down by people who cannot read...
A good picture.
But perhaps it’s more than literally.
I remember Ukip writing in their Party Programm that Al Gore’s book about global warming should be banned from GB.
Look what Floridas Beach-Trump De Santis have done to school-libraries.
I‘m from Germany, the county where it begun with burning books.
Today every 5th German is voting for the Nazi-Party AFD.
That's actually a great analogy.
Well hold on, I can’t read English. And all your libraries has is English books. Because you’re special . Buccaneering Britain.
This man is speaking rubbish. Brexit has had a crippling effect on the UK yet he blames our current situation on the EU.
3:00 ff 'all these checks happen on the way out of Holland'
Actually, they don't happen. EU exporters' goods to third countries are NOT being checked and exporters are NOT obliged to stick to EU food standards. Not even the exporters of sub-standard goods could be made liable *edit: in the EU* since us EU27 🇪🇺 only check what comes in, not what goes out.
Not only does this guy talk utter rubbish, the journalist and the other participant unfortunately don't know either, else they would have thrown his rubbish claim back in his face and shred him to pieces.
Greetings from Bavaria 🇪🇺
Smell the flowers, uk needs to look after their own
And needs to relate to the wider world, no man or country is an island - and yes I know the UK is geographically an island...@@mariahollingworth8470
That is the English way . Point your finger across the French channel and start blaming .
@@PoliticsjoeTheteadrinkingfekkiTypical English, Britain is not just England!!!!
Max is ignorant.
Completely agree. There is so little information put forth to explain properly how freight and imports/exports work and then have people like James Max and other Brexiteers spreading utter BS and no one stops them.
@@mum2jka spot.on! These 'debates' are absolute bull💩
Ignorant and dishonest. He's saying Remain told lies while Leave was making projections. Yeah right.
UA-cam remains a benefit because you can find pearls of discussion culture. As a German, I have a strong suspicion that the UK will still be babbling about the consequences of Brexit in 50 years. 👍
Only the same old whingers!😂
why are these people allowed on national TV - he doesn't even understand why we have to have checks!!
The are there to try and bs peopl . I cant imagine that they realy dont get it . Its this British mentality of pick and choose what ever you want
Brexiteers should be made to pay reparations for their lies and deceit...
Farage should be paying for it ..not the public
No, we should because everyone chose to believe in people who lie
@@neskarraksen maybe you did, I didnt
Including Johnson
But Farage wasn’t actually in government. He offered to assist but the offer was refused. One of the big issues was/is David Cameraman told the civil service not to bother planning for a leave vote because remain would win the day! And he walked always. It beggars belief that he is back in government.
James is spot on on this occasion.
The other thing is ALL countries are having issues with the cost of food. I live in Australia and we are no different.
@@christinefiedor3518 🤔 nope
Brexit could not and will not be beneficial to the Uk and its people.
Yeh, how could anyone think freedom from an oppressive dictatorship would work out well!!!
It was pushed by Millionaires and Billionaires, that should have been a huge clue to normal people that it wasn't going to be good for the masses.
You like being told by eu what our country should do thats why we got all the migrants using eu law human rights lawyers to keep them here
The cost of getting back the fictitious sovereignty that we never lost .
The EU checks for all foodstuffs going to the Single Market. It's NOT responsible for checking foodstuffs coming through EU or from EU going to Britain, which is outside the Single Market. Checks and standards are required by WTO rules. Those coming in tomorrow are just the beginning.
We import a lot of food from EU even in a good farming year. Which this year it's definitely NOT good!
Vote tactically to obliterate the Tories and never vote for Reform UK plc!
This panel are thick!
A panel full of incompetent
It is worse than that because anything rejected by the EU inspectors gets shipped to you! Enjoy.
The EU doesn't check foodstuffs bound for Third Countries! The UK is a 3rd country.
This is precisely what they wanted, WTO rules!
Brexit a total bulls up 👍
What did I just watch. Sorry Storm, but I don't understand the point of you here, you and the panel have not added any value to this conversation.
The question was not answered. You just let the panel go off in random directions so the answer didn't have to be answered. Rees Mogg promised us cheaper for, don't let the panel divert from this point. Tell us where the cheaper food that we were promised is!
The members of the public on the phones were more informed than the studio panel!
@@markwelch3564agree,. Farmers aren't planting tho. Red flag 🚩. Reap what you sow.... C'mon people, this is basic stuff.
@@Claire-dg3gh if there's no money in growing food, people won't grow food. That's a bigger problem than a single farmer can solve!
@@markwelch3564 it would be foolish to assume that market forces will resolve this issue as the panelists suggests, government needs to reintroduce price protection for produce. Unfortunately, the supermarkets won't absorb that cost & even with Brexit tariffs , due to scale of their purchasing power, they will just import cheaper goods & domestic agriculture still fails.
So the government also needs to address the supermarket monopoly. Perhaps, mandatory domestic purchasing quotas in return for tax breaks.
In time, with produce price protection & guaranteed domestic purchasing the sector could stabilise, grow & eventually production prices would reduce.
@@Claire-dg3gh I can't claim to know enough to know if that's the right solution, but we definitely need people who know farming and food to start looking at options like this!
"Everything that can go wrong in executing brexit has gone wrong"
That's because Brexit is Brexit
The ONLY thing that has gone wrong is this govt failing on limitless Brexit opportunities.
More like becouse Britten is Britten
UK farmers cannot produce enough food to supply the UK market.. You live in A dream world
Oh my god, this fella doesn't understand what a trading block is😅😅😅
James Max is either mind-numbingly ignorant of Brexit realities when it comes to trade, and the UK being able to support itself with food, or he's gas-lighting the gullible with convincing-sounding arguments that hold as much water under scrutiny as a colander.
I think it's the latter, I've come across brexiteer Max before
And a racist,,
James O'Brien got it spot on and the stupid people didn't believe him
But on yesterday’s show OBrien was behaving like a sanctimonious so and so. When he goes on about brexit anybody would think he’s got a major health issue.
@@christinefiedor3518 Brexit is a major economic health problem for the country.
That dude didn't understood how the EU works at all 😂
He´s not the only one.Hence this almighty mess..8 years on,too.!
Brexit means cheap food imports Nigel Farage 2016 how is he going yo spin this one.
All trade into the EU including food had EU tariffs applied, outside the EU we make our own arrangements and tariffs i.e its now completely under UK govt control how much food costs. Plus the ridiculous EU agricultural policy which pays farmer to NOT produce food to keep prices artificially high...
@@manoo422like on Nz lamb at the UKs behest. The level of misunderstanding on the EU still hasn’t gone away. Still empty shelves will focus minds
@@manoo422 food companies exporting to EU have to fork out millions in export charges. and red tape and now costing more to import.
I could be wrong but I read somewhere that we are breaking WTO rules if we don’t check imports, we are giving the EU an unfair advantage by not doing it for the last 4 years
Tories are sh’ite so this is not surprising at all.
Yes the import checks are WTO rules, nothing to do with Brexit. We have always paid for them, it was part of our £350million a week.
@@manoo422 Because of brexit the UK have to follow WTO rules, so yes these are brexit checks, did the UK have checks before brexit?
@@kevonslims7269yes we had checks but they were carried out at the point of export, which our EU money paid for.
Oh dear. How clever we are-not!
So pathetic. how this people are allowed to be on the tv. useless panel with no understanding of the laws and rules.
Idiots !
Not only Brexiteers should be blamed for this mess. For decades, most British took quite a negative stance towards the EU, even if in the end they voted to remain. The EU was blamed for everything by almost everyone. This overall negativity and the incredible lies of the leave campaign caused this Brexit. So yes there are import checks that should have been implemented years ago like we did here in the EU. From day one after the UK left, we had checks on anything entering the EU from the UK. That's what one does with goods coming from a "third country". So why the whining now? You all knew this was coming. In the current circumstances, you should be happy that you were spared the checks for many years. I know, you all do not like to read such language and I do not like to write it either but I am still so pissed off by you guys leaving. This should never have happened. NEVER!!!!
British people you mean the English

Isn't this what you demanded? WTO rules? Another clueless panel of Brexiteers blame everyone else. There is no version of Brexit you can implement that isn't going to cost you dearly.
Blame those who choose to believe liars.
Yes, although I blame the liars themselves even more.
From 1 January 2021, as per the Brexit Deal thrashed out by Johnson and Frost the EU applied its third-country customs and regulatory regime to goods imported from Great Britain to the EU resulting in extra checks and paperwork. The Tories kicked the can down the road to massage the figures and prevent adding to the rising cost of living expense, embarrassingly the Tories did it 5 times, but from Wednesday 1st May, the tens of millions of lorries that arrive in UK ports daily will needed to be checked, this will obviously result in more cost, paperwork and delays. This is the total opposite of what Reece Mogg, Farage , Frost Johnson, Gove etc etc said would happen, they stated food and goods would be cheaper and trade from the U E would remain exactly the same, as the Governments own Import Agency assessments predict, this is simply untrue, Before leaving the EU all of our imports that came through Rotterdam from 3rd counties were checked there, but since 2021 all goods that enter the EU from 3rd countries bound for non EU countries are the responsibility of their destination
The import checks are no different to every country in the world engaged in international trade. It has nothing to do with Brexit.
@@manoo422 Your correct, before Brexit a vast amount of our imports from around the World came via the 2 giant Holland Hub ports and checks/ paperwork were dealt with there, the dutch didn't need to check any goods bound for a 3rd Country ( Non EU states ) that passed through these hubs. We are a 3rd Country so these checks are now our responsibility, as is the cost, paperwork and facilities
@@manoo422 clearly you don't have a clue
@@hunsey Who do you think paid for all those checks in Holland...?
@@bereal6590 Manoo clearly has his narrative and even the Governments own facts won't change his opinion
None of these people have the first idea of what they are talking about!!!
Whatever happened to having experts explaining things?!?
So now we rely on nobodies who have no clue and treat them as experts 🙄
Michael Gove told us we had had enough of experts, and we believed him. So now we are being advised by dunderheads.
James Max has your typical brexiter mentally. Ie, he's able to delude himself and talk complete twaddle with supreme confidence.
experts are bribed
Michael pervGrove
There's no hope for the English if this argument is going to prevail!
You may notice its only remoaners who are crying. Brexiteers understand there is no increase in cost.
@@manoo422 things are actually getting cheaper
Because there is no one to pick the fruit and vegetables in this country and it's being left to rot in the fields.
The biggest problem is that thw Torys opened the UK to cheap food from other countrys .UKs farmers cant compeat with that so they just stop farming and if you arnt born into farming you woud need doing it and its impossibel to start a farm without the years of investment of your entire famely .
Rees Mogg is on record telling us that food would be cheaper after Brexit. Johnson told us there would be no non-tariff barriers.
Spot checks have proved that bad food has been dumped in the UK under the open boarder past.
Goods coming to the UK are not checked by any country they go through! Dummy?
Buy British! Those British Lemon, limes, oranges and exotic fruits are world class 😂
It might be an idea to have guests on that know what they are talking about. When the UK left the single market and the customs union it left the single market’s regulatory system. That means produce coming into the single market from the rest of the world is no longer checked at the first or subsequent EU ports it passes through if its intended destination is the UK, now a third country. That is why the government has to bring in checks at UK ports. The new checks will not be as comprehensive as the checks the British consumer could rely on when part of the EU. What was never appreciated in this country was that being part of the EU brought shared benefits and responsibilities and also shared burdens, like being able to fully check everything that came into the country. Time constraints and capacity means full checks cannot be carried out any more, thus subjecting the consumer to potential food poisoning and the farming community to outbreaks of disease. The ongoing catastrophe of Brexit rumbles on and it will never end until it is entirely reversed.
These three don't have a clue why have people on that don't know what they are talking about.
James Max is in complete denial mode. He's blaming everything and everyone else except the pipe dream he voted for.
I guess, "I told you so," is a difficult phrase to absorb. And humble pie doesn't taste too good!
Why is James Max so incompetent?! The UK has not outsourced its checks to the EU - therefore the Netherlands (or Holland as he put it) are NOT checking goods destined for the UK because the goods are not destined for the EU Single Market. The UK left the EU and left Freedom of Movement. One of those Freedoms was Freedom of Movement of Good. Also - as per WTO rules - the UK HAS to check goods coming into the UK market from the EU. Otherwise, it would be giving an unfair advantage of one market over another. This is basic stuff and yet the like of James Max is allowed on these shows to - as they George Eustice said about Boris Johnson - offer mis-speaks - which are in fact lies.
Beats me why the British can't be happy eating turnips and skinning their own rabbits like what they did during the war. Nobody needed avocado pears then - what's happened to the plucky Brit?
The panel don't seem to have any expertise in the subject. From their questions they don't seem to understand the EU, the Single Market or the UK becoming a third country.
Let's examine these.
Britain has not been self-sufficient in food since the Napoleonic Wars, 200 hundred years ago. Since then we have imported food to feed the population of Britain.
Right now about 40% of the food we consume is imported from the EU. It is higher at some points of the year.
Checks have always taken place. When Britain was in the single market goods destined for Britain did not just arrive here directly. For example, a truck of fruit from Morocco would enter Spain first, When Britain was an EU member the EU standards checks would happen there. Today, with Britain outside the EU, the goods are not checked. That is the responsibility of the British. All the EU officials will do is make sure the lorry is sealed so they can't drop off unchecked goods in the EU.
Checks happened because of the international agreement of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Each customs area must behave the same to countries outside that customs area. So when Britain left the Single Market and Customs Union in 2021 the EU was forced to apply checks due to international rules, All third countries have these checks for entry,
I say Britain here and not the UK because Northern Ireland is still in the Single Market for goods due the Withdrawal Agreement,
Britain should have applied checks in 2021. Britain was in breach of WTO rules. The EU didn't complain because it benefitted the EU exporters. It also benefits smugglers and criminals too. There has been completely open borders for goods with no checks, The EU does not check goods leaving it's market.
However, eventually, Britain is now implementing the checks it should have done three years ago, All goods from outside Britain need checking. The issue is that the EU is Britain's largest market so being outside the Single Market means more checks and more staff to do the checks, This increases costs and consumer prices.
This is an inevitable consequence of leaving the Single Market. It's a consequence the Brexiters wanted to keep quiet as long as possible. They wanted to persuade people that leaving the Single Market and Customs Union would have no consequences. Alternatively that the EU is "punishing us". The UK is the first country in the world to vote for worse trading conditions with its largest market and impose economic sanctions on itself.
It's actually quite easy to understand. Today's panel debate shows few people in the media do understand the consequences of becoming a third country,
the incredible thing is that there are still people who vote for reform uk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm sorry but it's like watching the Muppets show.
I wonder how the editorial staff can tolerate putting out rubbish like this.
Who the hell are these three talking about things they hardly know anything about, Jesus wept get a proper presenter and guests who know what they're talking about
That was one of the main reasons I voted to stay
The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.
Investing in both real estate and stocks can be prudent choices, particularly when backed by a robust trading strategy that can navigate you through prosperous periods.You're not doing anything wrong; the problem is that you don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.
I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over $745k working with an investment coach for more than two years.

A lot of red tape....a mess
Isn't it odd how every 'improvement' foisted on us brings price rises rather than reductions. Remember the plastic bag scam, yes scam. 5p per plastic bag to improve the environment we were told. Now those plastic bags are thicker & cost from 20p to 50p & they've branded them 'bag for life' to make us think we'll never have to buy another. The 5p ones lasted just as long & used less plastic. Yet supermarkets use an unreasonably high amount of thick plastic in their packaging. I bought a six pack of Walkers crisps. When I opened one of the bags I had to search for the contents. You could have gotten all six bags into one. Oh but that comes under the heading of 'marketing' the magic word that makes everything alright. 'Never mind the environment, that'll have to wait. Our bank accounts stuffed with the consumers hard earned money is far, far more important than the environment that we have vowed to protect.' The hypocrisy is astounding yet not at all surprising as that's the quality of persons we have running the show these days. They know well how to pull fancy words out of the hat to extract just that little bit more, all for our good & well-being of course. What next I wonder....I can't wait.
It will push even more people to having to use food banks
Ah the gift of Brexit just keeps on giving!!!
Uk is not united anymorw
You check goods to standards for the final destination. Not if in transit. You will end up with the scraps.
4:13 They don't understand that EU doesn't check/unpack goods crossing EU if the final destination is UK.
It is not "priority" problem.. It is that UK now must check everything arrives from EU because there is the possibility of a decease coming from 3rd world countries
And mogg said be cheaper
Really Smug says a lot of things!
He'll blame the war in Ukraine and Covid 😊
A none remoaner govt could easily make food cheaper.
Who listens to the mogg
Paying more for food nothing to do with brexit its hreed of all the supermarkets
The UK signed up for food import checks as a EU condition for leaving the single market! Why do you need to invite these people on your show?
Yet somehow Tesco still makes profits of 2 billion.
Salting the ground for Labour?
£330 million per year? Weren't we meant to get that back, according to that bus?
No, it was 350 million a week, a big fat lie
The cost of buying food in this country is so high.
Brexit made it even more expensive.
This guy is lying through his teeth 😬
Do these people have any understanding of the reality of how things work,it,s all well and good saying buy more British but we don’t and have never for decades produced enough to feed ourselves and even if we did their is not enough farm labourers to harvest it,then their would also be the big problem for most people with ordinary everyday jobs being able to afford it.,and that’s when they would start importing the carcinogenic sprayed crops and hormone injected meat from the USA and other such countries.
Which country in the world does? Its called international trade...something we are now free to do outside the dictatorship.
@@manoo422 read the op's comment again. The answer is there
We live in the 21st century, people might not want to just buy seasonally. They might want to enjoy all round imported food like the rest of the advanced developed world. I think not being able to is a deprivation of brexit not a benefit.
Except we can trade with whomever we want...whenever we want...
Turnips for dinner again dear....
@@manoo422depends if the other country wants to trade with us - we have to plug the trading gap following by Brexit, and both the India and US trade deals haven't happened because the Americans are more concerned about Europe as a whole and India want freedom of movement - something Brexiteers hated
They supermarkets are making bigger profits than ever so the rise in food prices the greedy supermarkets
If you are on the outside that literally means you are on the outside. You can’t benefit from something you are not part of.
britains food standard's / security was higher then any other country. hence britain got band from selling excess food abroad.
Then the EU told britain they had to import more from other countries ie;- vehicles, steel, coal and other large manufacturing goods including food ----
The government still have NOT released all of the pagers on the brexit deal to the public
Uk india trade deal has failed
Good
Listing fees to suppliers from grocery chains are punishing to small suppliers. It discourages innovation and changes.
so this is comedy in england after monthy python?
im afraid some will think what these three are talking is serious :D
We grow a lot of fruit and vegetables in this country ... yes BUT we don't have access to the labour who used to pick them!
Yeah, Brexit reduced our access to slave labour. How dare they…
It has been explained by the NFU that British farmers can only produce enough food to last still August then no food
not true, goods that go to the UK via Europe are no longer inspected, only goods that remain in the EU are inspected. Goods from the EU destined for a third country (UK) are also not checked, the English government should do so.
Why would the European Union check things that are going to Britain
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! The English will never understand that there is a middle way!!
I am not happy to pay more for food as we were told by the Leave campaign that food would be cheaper. We are the only country on te planet to impose economic sanctions on itself. We are a bit dim to have believed this especially as the food (and everything else) will be unnecesarily more expensive than it needs to be for ever.
This Max character reminds me of ‘Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome’! Not a bloody clue!
These people still don't get it. Under WTO rules if we just waive everything through from the EU we have to do the same for everyone else otherwise it would give the EU an advantage over the ROW.
Why couldn't we buy British food when we were IN the EU..?
Tesco profits are up 97%, how come?
In Italy we also pay more for food....in the last two years.
why can't the shops take less of a cut and give more to the farmer? we know that won't happen though.
What! Outrageous! They'd have to reduce profit, and we can't have that...
Roughly half of UK food is imported
All imported food will be subjected to possible price increases wherever it's sourced.
Remainers told that guy with small brain that brexit was a unicorn, a horse with a single horn on their had.
There was never and there will never 1 Brexit, but 20 different ones, which means what the guy wants, the majority of brexiteers reject.
Brexiteers won 1 battle but fought so much against each other they lost the war.
Brexit will destroy pubs
Lockdowns already done that 😔
Lockdowns did that already 🙄
* have
@@barneyrubble8590 the final nail in the coffin now
Brexit will destroy the UK
Inflation and cost of living will go through the roof
So basically food shouldn't cost more because somehow having more checks is going to be free (I guess I missed the announcement that we were bringing back slavery) but instead food should still cost more, even though millions of people are having to use foodbanks 😔
What a nonsense question, are people happy to pay more for food? A lot of people haven't got no more money to spend on food, they'll be going without. James Max is ignorant, delays caused by checks causing increased cost were always going to happen as a result of Brexit.
Man wants Brexit and not Brexit at the same time.
The gentleman extolling EU checks seems unaware that food, flowers, animals and animal products delivered to a delivery port of entry in the EU but destined only for the UK are NOT checked. Why would the EU check material when it is not meant as an EU delivery?
Likewise if products from another country are delivered to a privately
owned port in the UK (meaning not Dover) from another country, in or out of the EU - again exclusively and only for the UK - those products are not inspected automatically by the seller or by the people providing the transportation.
Why would another country inspect ANY trade goods destined exclusively for the UK unless there was a specific trade agreement specifying that would be done as an agreed condition of the sale? No specific trade agreement = not required.
If the Tory government has not set up individual trade deals with individual countries in the EU, or with Australia or New Zealand or Canada or the US - or any other country - with specific language and commitments regarding exactly how where and when inspections are to be done PRIOR to leaving the selling country, the seller has no obligations does he?
Even then, the buyer (importer) clearly must have some way of assuring the products being sold to UK customers are authentic, safe to eat or drink, safe for animal consumption, free from transmitable diseases etc unless the UK is deciding to risk dangerous reactions to tradeed goods which can be dangerous.
Is that what the UK government is selling to its citizens?
Being an "outside", stand alone, single country, with responsibilities formerly met by membership in the EU, means the UK has accepted sole responsibility for everything not written down in legal contracts. That is what a hard Brexit is: The UK must do it all. Whatever has not been negotiated in all details and legally agreed to by both parties is only a "fend for yourself" buyer beware understanding.
For the sheer survival of the UK people, discussion programs need to be moderated by people who can ask participants to be detailed and specific when someone says goods transiting from the EU have already been inspected. Just because something transits through a country does not mean it acquires qualities being applied to items actually made, grown, mined or raised in that country. Learn to think clearly and not assume anything. The UK has no one watching out for UK people anymore.
Oh my goodness James Max makes Trump look intelligent!!!! No wonder he voted for Brexit!
The EU was ready 4 years ago. Products wich are not for the EU arn't checkt in the Netherlands.
The stuff coming from EU isn't necessarily meet the EU standards.
Anything that is bound for UK is no longer off loaded in EU as it is destined for third country.
Why are these checks needed? For safety because the EU does not check goods that just pass through the EU like arriving in Rotterdam and moving on to the UK.
Because of WTO rules which Quitterlings praised so much before the referendum. Without these checks, the UK gives the EU preferential access to its market and any WTO member state can sue the UK for that.
Who actually thinks an economically sound brexit was ever possible?
This programme is like having a conversation down the Pub...I like talking out of my arse and don't know what i'm talking about...
Certainly happy to get the hell out of that anti democratic, unaccountable, declining, toxic organisation.
This man is leaving out a lot of the true facts.
EU is not checking goods going to UK. Why should the EU cover the cost of checks that UK decided to have due to brexit..
So if farmers increase prices as Storm Huntley suggests, what's gonna happen to the price of food? Having access to cheaper food was a key promise of Brexit campaign, good luck with that.
You won, get over it.
Interesting: since Brexit: in the past we talked about: continental Europe plus UK = Europe. Now we say: UK and Europe 😳😳🙄🙄
Supermarket would rather get carrots from Morocco 20% cheaper than from UK farmers 😢
You listen to those people talking about Brexit as if they are discovering the pbs , 8 years after the référendum. The only country in the wirld and history that voted to become poorer and more unsafe. Strange people those English.
another lie , the EU doesnt check anything thats going to the UK , where before brexit , the items were checked at the landing port so most checks were done in Spain , Netherlands , etc , now if items are only going to UK , the EU just wave them on as its not their problem
