Bloomberg UK - "Britain leaving the EU has helped fuel the highest food inflation in 45 years after causing an exodus of small EU exporters from the UK market, according to Bank of England policy maker Catherine Mann.
So if the UK leaving the EU has caused our 16% food price inflation what is the reason for Germany's 21% food price inflation?.. must be a coincidence..  Sure , we get that energy prices skyrocketing are causing problems around europe. Had we stayed in the EU , i agree we would still have had some food inflation. However , experts are telling us brexits red tape has added a further £6 billion to uk food bills over a two year period.
Brexit has added 6% to Britons’ food bills, new study finds

Last night, the government announced that Britain has joined a trade deal so contentious that it united Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders in opposition to US membership.
While hardcore Brexiters would like to pretend this is the ultimate payoff of our decision to leave the EU and write our own rules, the reality is somewhat different. In signing the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), Britain has ditched environmental standards, signed up to terms that will undermine British farmers, and left us open to being sued by multinational corporations in secretive courts. And all for no real economic benefit.

The article in the Guardian is quite interesting - I dont think they meant to say it as plainly though...  Nikhil Datta, assistant professor of economics at Warwick University and a co-author of the study, said: “The policy implications are stark: non-tariff barriers are an important impediment to trade that should be a first-order concern, at least on a par with tariffs, for policymakers interested in low consumer prices.”The logical conclusion from that is that you should not erect traffic walls around your market and be open to free trade - kinda kills of the EU's Customs Union.. |

England , and scotland , then the subesquent uk has been charging customs duties and erecting traffic walls aorund its market for the last thousand years of history.
The idea of complete free trade completely free of a traffic wall is nothing more than a fantasy invention that never existed from the days of the british empire.
Free trade should mean just that: free trade, with all goods admitted without duties, quotas, or restrictions. That was not British policy. They removed most tariffs but mostly on items in which they had a comparative advantage. In other words, they mostly removed tariffs on items for which Britain had little to fear in terms of competition or which were of trivial importance in overall trade.
What politicians do and say are often quite different. That hasn’t changed. Indeed, though there is much talk about globalization and unfettered trade, there is no country in existence today whose policies come anywhere near the ideal of free trade.

Of course the only time these people tell the truth is when they're dissing Britain.

Desperately seeking out a salty Europhile rag talking hogwash and whinging because the author knows this trade deal pivots the UK away from the EU's orbit isn't perspective my little nationalist. |

Like most tory press releases under rishi the remainer( windsor framework best deal in history....reality northern ireland gets annexed further by EU) i suspect as the days pass and more and more people pick apart rishis latest pig in a poke deal , the tories will slide even further down the polls.
Theres no "i " in denial buccy.

I feel quite sorry for the Scot indys. As bad as the politicians in Westminster are they are still making a decent stab at cooperating with the EU, finding a solution to the intractable problem of NI and forging a potentially lucrative trade agreement with the CPTPP.
The SNP on the other hand have been so utterly useless, incompetent and ( allegedly) corrupt that the chance of FREEDOM! is now quite remote and the Scot Indys are reduced to a long and whining road in their bid to become Norway.
That’s why we need to be kind to them .

Honestly mate , theres no need , as i think your wee country has more than enough problems of its own to deal with.
i love english tory brexiters. The ingenious ways they come up with trying to find new meanings for words in your language to hide unpalatable truths is amazing , and very very funny.
Cooperation and solution is now substitute words for annexation in english?
£1.8 billion over the next decade potentially was it?
When boris said he found a spare £2 billion in the top drawer of the desk at tory party hq to give to ukraine , i did wonder where he got it from ?.
Thanks mate but honestly theres no need. With brexit and the tories reign looking over sometime in the next 20 months , and the kippers delusions of being drunk on fantasy stories of the empire that never happened in real life sobering up rapidly , i return your kind notions for kindness laced with extreme pity.
Wont be long before im saying hello fellow european before too long bentley , to our fellow morris dancing regionalists in north west europe.

I guess it's a sign of panic, which is understandable if undignified. |
