This is THE determining factor - produce from southern Spain does not have to cross any sea to be sold in any one of the other 26 states they are still in a trading bloc with. Most use the came currency. Borders? Just drive across them no need to fill in forms. No cabotage rules to get in the way - do as many drops as you need to do wherever you like. You are trading with 26 welcoming member states.

Sell to the UK? Why bother - there are so many challenges to exporting to a third party country. Queues could mean anything time sensitive could be spoiled on arrival and rejected meaning you have lost it all. Drivers reluctant to make the trip anyway because if they get jumped by stowaways the get a £10k fine PER STOWAWAY.

And you think its not worth a mention - lol

Hope she suffers the inevitable fate in her business - her business does not deserve to survive when she shows that level of contempt for people who are ultimately her customers - I bet she is a farmer who voted Leave won't admit the mistake and considers we just need to believe more

That fuck awful Coffey just spouted the same nonsense in the commons.
Waffling some crap about turnips instead of tomatoes or something

I’d add it as a link if I could be arsed to search for it again.

It’s 2023, we should not be saying we should be grateful for things that were easily accessible 20 odd years ago.

The gaslighting never ends from them

can you really not work it out? Are you mince? A couple of years ago Ireland opened a ferry between them and the EU thus cutting out the UK as their landbridge - hence Hollyhead ferry port is now struggling coz no trucks are going through there - as a member state they have zero issues in importing from other member states.

Some people need more than photo id before they are allowed to vote.

Funny but only technically correct as the weather isn’t the main issue and Brexit is the least of the problems, in fact largely insignificant. Issues are:

1. Northern European producers didn’t plant out anywhere near their normal levels without guaranteed returns with inflated input costs. They gambled they would get paid more for producing less. That gamble failed.

2. Transportation costs are sky high. We have a sea separating us to the rest of mainland Europe. If supermarkets were prepared to pay for this extra cost and then some we’d have stock a plenty. Those costs would need to be paid by us, the consumers. Would we really be happy paying? Supermarkets presumed not and won’t gamble on paying significantly more for perishable items with a short shelf life. Republic of Ireland is also struggling with shortages due to these same issues of having a sea border.

3. Weather.

4. There is an extra cost as a result of Brexit with bureaucracy but that’s the most insignificant part. In fact barely worth mentioning.

You might be right that the extra cost due to Brexit is the most insignificant issue, however the unpredictable customs delays due to the extra Brexit red tape certainly are a significant factor for produce that deteriorates if it is not delivered when expected.
