@pimlicat @BestForBritain So now Brexit means everyone having to pay fees for checks that the 🇬🇧 government aren't doing,
just to maintain our basic British food supply? 🤨🤔
and meanwhile, last week in Dover... 3.4 tonnes of illegal meat
and they're cutting staff too

it's important to remember that all of this extra cost and scarcity is what Brexit means
change, but for the worse
and the Conservative Government knew this,
but they just don't care
all they care about is hoarding power and money

this is probably my longest thread on Twitter
evidence from the past 6 years about the threat to our food supply from leaving the Single Market & Customs Union
the Conservative governments of May, Johnson, Truss & Sunak knew this, but they just didn't care

The UK will finally impose checks on EU fresh food next week.
I've tracked the journey bacon takes from Denmark to the UK, to illustrate the new reality of Brexit - that while trade doesn't stop, it's about to become harder and that bit more expensive

Response to @sainsburys CEO’s letter, communicating the stark reality of the fact that many farms are producing SO much less food.
Where is the concern for #foodsecurity in Whitehall?
This is one of the reasons why we are bringing tractors 🚜 to London on 25th March!
Brexit Britain is getting sicker thanks to the Conservatives 🤮 #BrexitFood
“Tim Lang, professor of food policy…put the increase in cases down to a “weakening of state attention & regulatory focus on food hygiene & safety…worsened by #Brexit & local authority cuts, and a fragmentation of the system of food safety governance”. https://t.co/C35FYQugM6
@ITVJoel Group representing 30 trade bodies covering £100bn of the UK’s food supply says new Brexit border rules requiring 1 day could cut the shelf life of fresh food from mainland Europe by 1/5 & make some deliveries unsaleable, if they come at all

EXC from @SpeedMaddie Dover Port Health Authority warns that budget cuts + inland border posts increase risk of dodgy meat entering UK.
“...in effect opening a new door....We’re not taking back control of our border, we’re removing the border control.”

@ChillaxBcn Just as @Jacob_Rees_Mogg wanted - cheap, low quality food, shoes etc.
Obviously he won’t partake in this panacea…

'Brexit Food' is on its way to the UK!
It is food that is of lower quality, it will not meet UK standards and it will be labelled as such. They won't label it as 'Brexit Food' obviously but that it won't meet UK standards.
I'm not joking!
#BrexitFood
Retailers have warned that food prices are likely to increase due to #BrexitFood paperwork from January 30 + physical border checks on EU goods entering the UK which are due to begin from April
Adds to fresh food inflation (still at 5.4% in December)

@555_sjp10861 @MarinaPurkiss @AmberTiff4321 This was found in a criminal intelligence raid, and was actually (with laughably zero self-awareness as to the cause) brought up in parliament by Natalie Elphicke MP (after the the story went very quiet).
So: yes

"traditionally they would use up to 140 (strawberry) pickers, mostly from the EU. Many of them had come to us for years, they knew it was a good place to work. But with Brexit it became more difficult and they just did not feel welcome"

For the past few weeks I've been completely consumed by this investigation. It's probably the most important story I'll ever break and I hope it can be used to bring about meaningful change. Please do read it 👇https://t.co/dzz5fajkmy
The whole of Europe has had to cope with the consequences of bad weather – but only the UK has had the effects of Brexit on top; and only Britain has empty shelves.
So, how has the BBC reported on this fall-out from Brexit? By not mentioning Brexit.
#BylineTimes #BrexitFood
@Otto_English probably made more notes of the threat to UK food supply than anything else
depressing how much was clear all along but ignored by these feckless Tories
