Who stands with British Farmers? 📷 Reform UK does, we will: Scrap the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and replace it with a system that rewards farmers for producing high-quality food, enhancing animal welfare, and protecting the environment. End the subsidies that distort

@biztradegovuk ..when has it ever been "burdensome" to bottle wine in world standardised bottles? On the contrary it is going to be more burdensome and costly to fund a shorter bottle run for wine that then can only be sold on the GB market (no cross selling into the EU)

Britain's richest man, Brexiter Sir Jim Ratcliffe, moved to Monaco to save £4bn in tax. So much for the patriotism of the Brexiters.

They can’t introduce them . Supplies are dwindling. The supermarkets are carving each other up on price . The produce will naturally find the money . That’s how the real world works . Our non existent food policy in this country makes supplies very difficult.
