What is that "mate" of mine Sadiq Khan trying to achieve ?

 

You lost you demented little cretin, get over it and concentrate on your job you terrorist sympathiser.

It’s interesting the guardian article headline goes with the fall in fruit picking rather than the larger increase in mineral fuel exports to the EU… suppose the headline chosen keeps the FBPE mob happy. Anyhow the red tape used by the EU to divert sales away from UK fruit businesses is a disgrace… while we import from the EU and allow EU businesses simple and unfettered access to UK markets… they’ve still not got over it. 🇬🇧

Here’s the thing, they have a free and large market in operation that allows them to choose. We are an island that has made it harder to do business with our nearest neighbours. This is what you voted for

That’s from HRMC government website….. think they might just know. 

I think you see what you want to see😎

But sales to eu from uk on food is at record highs according to the link I posted… exports in fuel exports also at record levels. What’s not to like? 🇬🇧

I’m just posting directly from government website and food managers article…. Perhaps they are not telling the truth.

Wouldn’t be the first time🤔

Someone needs to tell our fruit growers that they’re all wrong and are clearly selling more than they think they are.

They will never, ever admit it's been a mistake. Ever. 

Just got to slowly work around them like the rest of the country is trying to do as the cult of Brexit diminishes in number over time.

I go to the government website and look for the data… it says exports are up on all food exports, food managers article says exports at highest levels ever… think that’s conclusive evidence. Please feel free to post an alternative link that discredits the UK government and food managers articles.

What’s food inflation like at the moment?

And once more, from an article posted yesterday:

but continue to flag below pre-Brexit and pre-pandemic levels, with the Q1 2022 figure 17.3% lower than the 2019 equivalent. ”

Just now, Spider said:

19%.

Stop it, you might confuse him😀

I know a company that are selling less produce, and making less margin, but are selling at a higher value as prices are spiralling upwards.

If I sell an aircraft carrier for £100million , I can say I turned over £100million.

The fact that the aircraft carrier cost me £110million is a point we can simply ignore.

The food managers article say food sales to eu higher than ever before, HRMC report the same. Fruit is down by around 100 million, food exports are at record levels of 11 billion, the first time ever they’ve exceed 10 billion…. One number is bigger much bigger than the other. I’ve highlighted them to make it easy.

That's excellent news, things are going up in price a little bit slower than last month.

Except food. The one thing we can't really cut back on.

The expectation was it would drop to 8%, stock market dropped about 1.5% on this news. 

Food producer price inflation is coming down so consumer price inflation should follow in the coming months.

More likely jitters about the US debt ceiling caused the market decline.... Thats the line trotted out on Ian King Live.

Fair enough the two combined ain't helping. 
Inflation won't drop as quickly as people hope as businesses will need to make back money they have lost over last few months . 
The bigger companies and supermarkets are already starting to make great returns
