It doesn’t work that way. The market will buy cheap as most of it is processors and caterers not end consumers. UK farmers will be driven into a small niche whilst low cost, low welfare high methane countries benefit.

People are just to find out what globalism and increasing population means.

We have screwed ourselves by becoming far too over reliant on imports from unreliable sources.
The paying more because it's British is something of a myth. All goods and services are priced based on what people can afford these days. If people have less disposable income after they get the essentials, then the 'luxury' stuff will come down in price.

The cost of services and trades have gone up far quicker than inflation because many have more disposable income to spend. It's all relative.
People waste money all over the place on overpriced electrical goods, takeaways, trainers and getting some bloke to fix your tap.

the EU is not fit for purpose.

The sooner it dies, the better for everybody.

So as predicted ex Speaker John Bercow has been banned for life from Parliament after an independent investigation found he was a serial bully and liar, no surprise to anyone who came into his orbit.

Contrast his behaviour with our current speaker who is firm but fair telling off Boris one minute and Starmer the next.

The Labour party and others should hang their heads in shame. These allegations were well known by 2018 and yet Labour and other opposition parties plus Tory Remainers decided to keep him in his job.

If you look at today's papers they are littered with comments from Senior Labour party members at the time brushing off these allegations so much for sticking up for the the sisterhood Emily Thornberry and Margaret Beckett.

I know the Tories hated him because of perceived bias but this odious little man could and was eventually replaced by someone decent it didn't have to be a Brexiteer.

To make matters worse Labour allowed him to join their party after he stood down by which time the investigation was well under way, they could have told him he would have to wait. However belatedly they have now suspended him.

A bad show all around.

Looks like the EU is finally realising that the one size fits all model may not be the best place to go.

Macron is suggesting an outer group with the UK invited. Of course there is no detail at this stage but if he means a free trade bloc and the UK free to make its own decisions on matters not relating to the EU I am willing to listen.

The devil as they say is in the detail.

Bound to happen due to another d word. Defence.
The only reliable military in the EU is (rather ironically) France - now the UK has gone. Good luck getting any of the others to step up.
The other reason will be exports. French wine etc. But also imports and the stupid rigaramole of buying anything from the UK now.
I bought a Super Patrick Viera t-shirt from this site. After import taxes and charges (I'm in Ireland) it was 40 euro. I didn't tell the missus. A tad expensive for a t-shirt.
My son bought me an Eagles hoody from the club shop - final price 60 euro.
Imagine being a business relying on British goods. Hoody took months as it had been returned to sender, duty not paid.
