The CEO of the Fresh Produce Consortium, Nigel Jenney, had some strong words yesterday for the EU Reset:

❌ £300m a year in extra costs
❌ Increase food price inflation
❌ Adding further delay and waste
❌ No gain for biosecurity

"Half of the fresh produce the UK imports comes from outside the EU – citrus, mangoes, blueberries, sweet potatoes, peppers. Under dynamic alignment, up to 120,000 of those consignments a year, destined solely for British consumers, would face EU-style controls they do not need today. That moves the burden somewhere else; it does not simplify anything.

“We are a large, diverse nation that has always depended on food imports as a key part of our food security. For generations we have imported far more than we export. So why put extra costs on the 80 billion portions of fresh produce behind our five-a-day habit?

“We estimate more than £300 million a year in added cost. That is roughly £2,500 for every affected consignment, and it will fall on importers, hauliers and wholesalers and, in the end, on shoppers at the checkout.

“The Government has said this deal will help bring down food price inflation for families. On fresh produce, as drafted, it will do the opposite. Hard-pressed UK consumers are still feeling the cost of their weekly shop, and fruit and vegetables are exactly where we should be making healthy choices easier and cheaper, not dearer. A policy meant to ease food inflation cannot add £300 million to the cost of the fruit and veg aisle and still claim to be on the shopper’s side.

“And for what? The UK’s science-based, risk-led regime already achieves 99.5% compliance across those consignments. The science has not changed; the politics have. Adding cost, delay and waste to a system that works brings no measurable gain for biosecurity.

Two takeaways from the latest S&P Global Business Outlook surveys... 🤔

1⃣ UK regains top place, helped by the AI rollout

2⃣ Eurozone falls further behind 'Brexit Britain', with France in particular hit hard by political and economic uncertainty

There is an old saying, that one should never put all their eggs in one basket.

By being an EU member, and allowing the protectionist political union to control your money laws and borders, that is exactly what you are doing.

Hedge your bets. Look at the world economy and who is growing - and who isn't. If you are wanting your economy to grow, entrusting that growth with a group of nations that are overregualting and stagnating is not the way to grow.

The global centre for economic growth over the coming decades, even by the EUs own admittance, is the Indo-Pacific. Which is why the UK being in the CPTPP early doors was and is so critical.

The UK is the European gateway to the Indo-Pacific, through the CPTPP. The UK needs to take advantage of that unique position, not squander it through another decade of EU-related navel gazing.

The world is not going to wait for us. It is moving on with or without us, and certainly without the EU.

We need to wake up to the new reality, and how Brexit has allowed us to be a part of the future instead of being relegated to the past.

Let's get on with it.

UK FOOD EXPORTS AND THE EU

When you're told that all of the UK needs to follow EU rules, just to help protect UK food exporters to the EU, it's worth putting that sector into some context.

The UK is predominantly a services exporter, and has been for years now. Roughly 59% of UK exports are services, not goods.

Between 2010 and 2023, UK services exports grew nine times faster than goods. All but two years of that period were still from within the EU - so is not the result of Brexit.

Of the roughly 41% of UK exports that are goods, 90% of that (so about 37% of total UK exports) are from five industries: 1) machinery and transport goods, 2) Chemicals, 3) Miscellaneous manufactured, 4) Fuels, 5) Material manufactured.

So that leaves us with roughly 4% of UK exports left, that are not services and not one of those 5 categories.

Of that 4% that is left, 1.3% is food exports to the EU.

98.7% of our total annual exports, are NOT food to the EU.

In 2010, 60% of all UK food exports went to the EU. In 2025, it was 68% of all UK food exports going to the EU. The EU now, post-Brexit, takes MORE of our food exports than they did in 2010.

We export less food in total than we used to. Maybe the 10 million extra people living in the UK are eating it. But that which we do export, MORE of it is going to the EU than it used to.

So what does that mean?

Well the vast majority of food made in the UK, is eaten in the UK - as of course it is. The UK is one of the most densely populated places in Europe, and more people live here than we can feed.

So the only food we export really, is the food that we produce but we don't want to eat - like offal for example.

Making all of our food producers follow EU rules, just to ease the checks on the very small amount that is exported, is insane.

The answer to “why is my £775k new build flat so small and crappy?” Is simple: the money left to actually build it after the government has took their £442k share is only £178k - less than some spend on their kitchen extension

[Dave Mac @Kained_]

@Bobby_Dean Utter nonsense.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Recently I told you there are two kinds of people in this system: cynics and believers.

Ursula von der Leyen, I put her with the believers. And that's exactly why you need to understand how the machine works.

Because cynics are very rare. Soros, I put him in that category: he knows exactly what he's doing, and he has never hidden it.

He read Popper, he has a theory of change, and he understood early on something the right still hasn't figured out: you don't change a society by winning an election. You change it by funding, for thirty years, the people who will write the reports, train the lawyers, and advise whoever wins the elections.

$24 billion spent by Open Society since its creation. More than 50,000 grants. In 2015, he wrote in plain text that the EU must accept at least a million asylum seekers a year, and mobilize NGOs, churches and businesses to take them in.

All of it is public. That's the most impressive part.

Here's how the system got hacked, in three steps.

Step one: selection.

Nobody recruits idiots. No need. The money does the selecting on its own.

A grant never goes to the person who doubts. It goes to the person who already believes. Repeat that over thirty years and tens of thousands of grants, and you get an entire ecosystem where the free thinker was filtered out at the door. He wasn't fired. He just never got funded.

What's left: people who are sincere, credentialed, conformist, and whose paycheck depends on the cause.

Step two: funding manufactures conviction.

Try explaining something to someone whose paycheck depends on not getting it.

The NGO produces a report. The report gets cited by an expert. The expert testifies before the Commission. The Commission turns it into a directive. And the NGO guy ends up in a cabinet, then goes back to a foundation.

Everyone knows each other, cites each other, funds each other. It's an echo chamber with a budget.

Step three: emotion.

You never debate results. You debate intentions.

One photo beats a thousand statistics. Every objection backed by numbers becomes a moral failing. And when reality contradicts the narrative, the dissonance always gets resolved the same way:

"It's a necessary evil."
"It's collateral damage."
"The real problem is elsewhere."
Immigration is never a problem. The problem is your perception.
The result: the system doesn't produce corrupt people. It produces NPCs. People reciting a script while convinced they wrote it themselves.

Ursula doesn't need to be bought. She has spent her entire career in an environment where every expert, every report, every "civil society" group tells her the same thing. She is convinced she's on the side of good. And that's what makes her immune to facts.

And the best part of the story: Soros isn't even the system's biggest funder anymore.

You are.

Between 2021 and 2023, €7.4 billion in EU funds went to more than 12,000 NGOs. The European Court of Auditors itself says it can't get a reliable picture of who gets what.

The hack worked so well that the machine now runs on your taxes.

This is not a conspiracy. A conspiracy hides. Here, the amounts are public, the op-eds are public, the recipients are public.

It's an incentive system. And you don't fight an incentive system by insulting the believers. You fight it by cutting off the tap and demanding total transparency: who funds whom, to say what.

As long as it stays opaque, they'll keep shipping believers at scale.

Danny Tommo is locked up until June 2027 for damaging property that had no owner.

Tommy Robinson faces sentencing next month for doing journalism.

Lucy Connolly was jailed for more than two years for words on social media.

Now compare:

Ricky Jones said on live camera that right-wingers needed their throats cut : no prison.

Labour MP Mike Amesbury beat a constituent he was elected to represent : no prison.

Huw Edwards possessed explicit images of children : no prison.

Mohammad Amaaz beat police officers at Manchester Airport : years of delays before conviction.

Same country, different rules.

It's no secret that the UK's welfare system is broken.

But did you know that 75% of constituencies in England receive more in welfare than their workers pay in income tax and National Insurance?

[Felicity Campbell @feli_campbell]

When I posted yesterday about Andy Burnham’s political machine secretly intercepting public emails to protect his Abu Dhabi property deals, my inbox was flooded by people thanking me for finally calling out what goes on in Manchester.

Well, I woke up this morning and looked at the latest financial disclosures coming out of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and the rabbit hole just got so much darker.

Burnham's authority has been caught funnelling nearly £1,000,000 of taxpayer money to completely anonymous beneficiaries in a series of secret payments.

They paid out £83,000 in rent to a hidden landlord. They handed out thousands in anonymous "consultancy fees." Worst of all, they gave a £210,000 capital grant to a property developer and completely redacted the name from the public ledger.

When journalists finally confronted them, the authority claimed hiding the £210,000 developer payout was just a "human error" and blamed the rest of the secrecy on data protection laws.

Look at the terrifying double standard at play here.

If a working citizen misfiles a tax return by fifty pounds or makes a mistake on a local form, the state will investigate their entire life, apply ruthless penalty fines, and threaten them with court.

But when Burnham's regional authority hands a fifth of a million pounds of public cash to an anonymous property developer, they simply shrug and call it a clerical typo.

This is exactly how the modern British political cartel operates. They use the language of bureaucracy and data protection as a legal shield to funnel public wealth to private, hidden corporate interests.

I am sorry, but they are not governing a city. They are running a shadow ledger with your money, and they are terrified of the public finding out who is actually cashing the checks.

[Chris Rose @ArchRose90]

Andy Burnham’s EU "reset" will leave working families with a bill of £1,220.

What will each working family be paying for? Net zero schemes or infrastructure programmes in countries such as Romania & Hungary.

The bill would be £23bn over the 10-year plan. Nobody voted for this.
