HMRC have published some figures to show that food and drink exports fell by 2bn in the first 3 months since Brexit.
Dairy was down a massive 90%? and there were losses across the board.
The figures show that rather it being a teething issue as the Tories would have us believe it is in fact structural and likely to continue unless there is some sort of move towards say the SM.
I can't speak for Urmstongran but perhaps, like several others, she has decided that a constant stream of remarks like that mean she has left GN.
As a remain voter, I find the personal remarks and sneering unnecessary.
Urmstongran is having a break from GN at the moment (but has said she will definitely be back) so presume that is why she's not joined in this discussion.
Urmstongran has been a prolific poster on the Politics forum - a very energetic defender of Farage, Trump, Brexit, Boris Johnson, this Tory Government etc and that is why she has become conspicuous by her absense.

I may be wrong but think she is on holiday. In any case, is there an obligation to post?

But not on this thread so I wondered why the sarcastic comment?
Perhaps Urmonstongran is just very much missed for her input then. She was one of the few remaining posters to offer a different viewpoint as so many have gone.
I referred to Urmstongran purely because I would be interested in her response to the latest news about Lord Frost, which has been brought into the discussion above. She has mentioned on many occasions that she has put her faith in him and his abilities as a negotiator.
There is no obligation to post a response and since she is on holiday (which I didn't know) there is little likelihood of a reply to my question.
My comment was not intended to be sarcastic and nor is it.
There’s b*gger all to be done about it now, but I personally hope for a reconsideration in a couple of decades and a choice to rejoin our partners in Europe.
I am lucky enough not to be too affected by rising food prices but that worries me very much for those who are struggling to feed themselves and their children.
No they can’t because there aren’t any measurable benefits and they will accuse you of bullying to keep asking. Frost is rapidly being shown to be as dim and useless as the other incompetents in government, btw he is one of the unelected elite Brexiteers were suppose to want to get rid of. The EU have maintained their position despite the nasty name calling and personal attacks on the likes of Angela Merkel and Michel Barnier by the UK media and VL government.
