"Brexit added almost £6bn to UK food bills in the two years to the end of 2021, affecting poorest households the most, research has found.
The cost of food imported from the EU shot up because of extra red tape, adding £210 to the average household food bills over 2020 and 2021, London School of Economics (LSE) researchers discovered."

"More than 40 per cent of British products previously exported to the EU have disappeared from European shelves since Brexit, new figures show.
..........................found that small businesses were the least likely to be able to deal with the government’s new red tape and would be most likely to give up selling abroad. "

The disturbing point here is that all of this (plus NI border problems) were explained before the referendim. And it would not have taken much to grasp that becoming a 'third country' (non EU would mean having the same level of costly red tape as other similar countries.
The UK was about to exclude itself from one of the main reasons for the EU. The ability to move goods to and from with the minimum cost, checks and thus, delay.
It made as much sense as the though
Fck, renewing my season ticket at PR. I can get a ticket for every game much cheaper, sit where I want and be guaranteed any seat I want as well "

Poor rightie. It was also carried by the Independent.
Can't have the media posting accurate and informative stuff can we. ? Mustn't shake the deluded out of their la la land of ignorance.
Town would have done far better if those media types had not kept reporting our results pre McK.  | | | |

That ultra lefty, sneering, toffee eating, wokey cokey, winterful calling, Financial Times also carried the story, as
"Almost two years after Britain left the EU, economists have reached a consensus: Brexit has significantly worsened the country’s economic performance.
They agree that the vote to leave the bloc has made households poorer, that negotiating uncertainties have taken their toll on business investment and that new barriers to trade have damaged economic links between the UK and EU. " 1/12/22
further adding
“Put it this way, in 2016 the British economy was 90 per cent the size of Germany’s,” said Mark Carney, former BoE governor. “Now it is less than 70 per cent.”
Of course you can always refute this. What do the FT and the former BoE chairman know when set against the collective wisdom of Johnson, Farage and Rees-Mogg ?
Only they have strangely gone quiet of late. The lies and promises have dried up.
I wonder why ? | | | |

Well Harry - you've been found out - a Brexit bonus below.
Rice-Smug said Brits will avoid a 2 per cent increase on fish fingers and savings on some cheeses thanks to our "Brexit freedoms".

do keep up laddie
That was covered a couple of weeks back - second post down
The move back to the EU continues by HARRY10 20 Nov 2022 12:52"The Sunday Times reported that senior government figures were in effect revisiting a Brexit trading arrangement offered by the EU last year, which would get rid of 80% of the checks between Great Britain and Northern Ireland and open up access to the single market.
But the move would require the UK to pledge alignment, at least temporarily, on food and agriculture standards. Doing so would be anathema to champions of a hard Brexit, including Boris Johnson’s chief negotiator David Frost, as well as members of the hardline ERG."
If the UK has, and wishes to keep higher standards, then where is the problem ? It is because the UK actually wants lower standards (AUZ/NZ trade deals) and the current Bill to remove EU safety regulations & standards where the problem arises.
Once the UK allows dodgy animal products to be imported from US and Aus/NZ the EU would stop imports of UK animal products, as they could not be certain of their origin. So if the UK is not heading down that road, why the objection ?
There is no concern in the EU that it is GMT that determines there are 60 mins in the hour, or that the EU and the world aligns with Greenwich over the exact second it is the hour mark.
As the move out of isolation and back to the EU continues the original intent of brexit becomes clearer. Any wonder less than a third of voters now think it was a good idea. A figure that I suspect will continue to shrink.

Either its true or it isn't.
The source reporting it isn't relevant is it.
It's like complaining a local paper only reports bad weather and floods when all we're getting is bad weather and floods. |  |

I take issue with this. The UK, whilst I’m the EU, could still have retained or switched to blue passports whilst in it. Instead we now have black ones which are worth less. |  | | |
