Get in Fruit and Veg prices to go up - another Brexit win
- Thread starter SirGalahad
- Start date
Quickly, and with no swerving, tell us exactly which fruit and vegetables will be going up above and beyond the general rise in inflation due to Brexit so that I can record them now and check back in a years time. Remember, no swerving.

He's swerving.
Anyway Frozen Pizza is cheaper in the UK.
But we pay more to wipe our bum.

UK shoppers are paying more for loo roll, butter and ketchup than some of our European neighbours, data suggests.

Generally food prices in this country are higher than the EU.BBC News - Bread to loo roll: How UK prices compare to five EU countries

Spain in the south looks cheap and on the other hand Germany up north are more than likely the cheapest.
What's the reason, France is as expensive as the UK?

Of course he is. Doesn’t matter. I’ve screenshotted a few regular fruit and vegetables so we can see how they are affected by Brexit and not general inflation. @SirGalahad can add to these if he feels the need to.
I thought (according to Notch) that we were in the midst of the great tomato famine due to Brexit? Is Gally telling us that’s yet to happen? Good God!

stop being childish.
you can’t look at individual prices or individual shops, you have to look at the data to see the evidence.
Brexit trade barriers on food have cost UK billions - report
A report has suggested that post-Brexit trade restrictions have accounted for a third of the food price increases seen in the UK since 2019.

I provided you with plenty of evidence from the retail industry showing Brexit had made supply chains restrictive and slower.
the cause of there being a lack of tomatoes overall in this country was entirely due to brexit.
and yes there was a shortage, being able to find tomatoes in a specific supermarket at a specific time is not evidence.
If you want a grown up debate discussing the issues with sPs controls, rOo checks, cabotage restrictions, transit documents, customs declarations and all the other Brexit red tape damaging our supply chains we can have one

It's not just price, which even the Government agrees is likely. They are just disputing by how much.
But its also going to affect availability, shelf life and product range. To me availability and shelf life are probably more important than a small rise. Does it mean I will have to be prepared for more wastage ( which means buying more) and therefore costing more? And a lesser range to choose from ?
So mottie, do you agree this is a brexit benefit ?

What, your hypothesis?

So you disagree? Even with what the government acknowledge.
Without swerving, are you saying this won't affect us at all?
Or it's actually a benefit?
Brexit is a cult of denial and ignorance...
Even before the new rules, food imported from Europe cost more than before because buying from Europe you pay in Euros.
Crashing the pound thus means higher prices.
The same with exports.
Before xmas I did a tour of the relatives in Scandinavia.
Visited a project in Norway, and as with other nordic nations they have a liking for UK specialist tools as they like the quality.
But on this one project alone, 4 out of the 5 UK suppliers are no longer exporting because of the cost (including higher raw materials prices) and red tape.
They now source from Germany.
Brexit adds cost for almost everything, and it's the UK that is losing out!

While you’re just a cult. Oops
