From Folkestone to Dover again today!! The queue gets longer, that’s with the channel like a mill pond , so no delays . Except of course the ones that Brexit has created!
I’ve farmed for 50 fucking years & you bastards have done more damage to British farming than anybody !!
The CAP protected food production!!
Your statements just show how LITTLE YOU KNOW about how n where your food is produced!!
You make me sick !!
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

Listen my son I’ve farmed for 50 yrs .
In that time you’ve never been hungry. I’ve built an empire whilst most have gone .
Don’t try n tell me what’s what coz you’ve no idea . I grow , I import, I primary & secondary wholesale.
Trust me we are in the shit .
Thanks Brexit !!
As a budding wine producer. Amongst many fruit growers in Kent and Sussex.
We DONT NEED TWO FUCKING DIFFERENT BOTTLES .
Have one is costly enough !!
What fucking idiot thought this one up eh ??
Let’s destroy British farmers !!
Tory politics eh !
@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)
Every answer that he gave me was irrelevant to the conversation.
He invited me on for a discussion on a topic that he never directly gave facts for .
He does not like the truth or reality obviously.
Is he value for the taxes we pay ???

Can someone tell me where the February trade figures have disappeared? Should have been out a fortnight ago. What are we hiding ?? It make me laugh how childish this government is and how stupid they think we are ! Very angry me !!
Possibly the one and only benefit of Brexit is that Jacob Rees Mogg and others like him are able to keep their money in tax havens without any interference from the EU
@sophielouisecc
The French have offered to build a processing centre in Calais for over 2 yrs now . That would stop the boats . Uk gvmt are refusing to accept.
Why ??
To get us out of the ECHR then take away more of OUR rights !!
They have a political agenda and using boats as a tool !
@ParisDaguerre
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg
The truth is that theEu did it 3 months ago !! You have just copied them . It really shows how out of touch you are Reece Mogg . The old brexit benefits business is a bit tough eh ?
As a budding wine producer, having planted this year . I score it a zero !
All it is going to do is increase my overheads for NO return. It will confuse the market , make British wine more difficult to export,
The 75cl bottle of wine is the globally accepted package!!
@vivamjm
Had a chat with a mate of mine who is a big producer in Kent . He was a brexiteer , but the realisation of what it is going to mean has changed his mind completely. I was amazed how different the conversation was !!

Why ? Where are you better off ??
I can give you 20 reasons why my life is worse off ! More if you push me .
I can’t find a benefit yet ?
Please enlighten me .
All he did was answer with facts that were totally unrelated to the questions that we were discussing.
He set the agenda, then cut me off because he was loosing .

it was Jacob who immediately exposed the failings in David Catt's arguments. David was simply wrong. But you don't care about the truth do you, you just hate everything Brexit. Sad..
Panic in Kent is coming !!
Just waiting for the new checks come in !!
Seeing the Tory councillors pooping their pants realising what they have voted for .
It makes me laugh !!
Kent conservatives are going to get slaughtered
😂😂😂
Tried to tell them !
A cold snap in the new year . Full brexit checks in place ?
Be prepared to go very hungry .
We haven’t got the potato crop in yet ?

I can guarantee that she is a farmer , so am I , but I wholesale and import. British food production is systematically being destroyed. A, by Brexit, that stops our exports. B , we have no food policy.
Those two together allow the supermarkets to destroy our farming .
SIMPLES !
Why don’t we wake up to the fact that the only thing that matters to the tories is supporting the offshore billionaires. Any small business, fishing, farming, exporting , importing, anything. If you are not big , YOU DONT COUNT !!
Brexit cabal want to portray a narrative that the EU is imploding and that we got out in time.
It is in our best interests to ensure Europe is secure and safe. We rely on the EU for basic commodities and legal framework.
Those wishing to see it fail want to see Britain fail.
We used to send it 20 miles across the channel to a premium guaranteed mkt with minimal costs . Now we have to send it over 2,000 miles to try and break into a new speculative mkt and undercut the mass produced , unregulated USA LAMB . Who are you trying to kid ?
For the first time in over 20 years, millions of people in the USA will be able to enjoy high quality British lamb.
This milestone marks a well-deserved boost to our rural economy and we will continue to secure more growth opportunities for Britain’s brilliant food producers.
All getting ready for the big day tomorrow !!
It’s getting going now . Could be over one hundred tractors now .
Had 10 more join in the last half hour !!!
Don’t forget that when Maggie Thatcher made huge tax cuts , we joined the single market. That’s why our economy expanded. This time we have just left , so these cuts will lead to less growth and hyper inflation !!
I would much sooner being in the driving seat of the biggest single market on the planet !!
That’s ambition!
That’s reaching for the skies !
Brexit isolates us into little Britain struggling to go anywhere!!
Tell me where I’m wrong???
The only one that counts,freedom from a corrupt political union. We can make our own laws & we will fall and rise on our efforts. The U.K. is still an exceptional country, the best in the world!
Do you know why ?? Proper work is hard . This country now believes the world owes us a living? I run a farm . I work hard, that’s all I know . Getting English staff to work the same is a tough ask .
@vivamjm
We are just going to be left behind . The world is going to get on with trading freely . We will be left sorting the shit hole that we have created for ourselves . BREXIT ??? The most stupid act that this country has ever inflicted upon itself!
He betrayed our fishermen .
And doesn’t give a monkeys!
He’s betrayed our farmers !
And doesn’t give a monkeys !
He naffed of to America to make some money with his mate Donald !!
He doesn’t give a monkeys about team gb !!
The sooner people see this the better of we will be !!!!!
@Eddystone506
There isn’t any !! I’ve tried to get one from brexitears for four years ! None , diddly squat , f**k all from any . I have tried . Their followers are prepared to be robbed , lied to , deceived and betrayed . Their is no benefit to brexit !! That’s the truth .
If we had joined the euro all those years ago . The reality is the euro in your pocket would be worth 50% , yes 50% more .
We would have gone in at about € 1-68 .Fancy being worth 50% more than you do now eh ?????
I don’t care what I’m paid in .It’s what that buys that counts!
The joke is that it gets worse next year when tighter restrictions come into play A lot of my friends in the area ,who grow fruit & salads say that next year could be disastrous. One ,walked away from 200 tonnes of raspberries he couldn’t get picked .Roger Gale, it’s your fault !
Roger Gale(Tory MP) - Much of this year's harvest has been lost as a result of a lack of labour... there isn't a queue of domestic labour waiting to harvest apples & tomatoes...so what is the department going to do to make sure there's an adequate labour supply for next year?
The Tufton street mafia totally ignored the negative effect of Brexit . All they were worried about was how much money they could earn out of it !!
And f*** the rest of us !
They’ve shut the m20 from Leeds castle to Ashford!!
13 miles . Now all the traffic is on the A20 . It’s carnage !!
Busiest day of the year for us & 5 of my vans have to go down the A20 !!
I’ll give them sunlit fucking uplands !!

It just goes on eating away at the uk . Slowly grinding, bit by bit , eating away at our ability to trade . Whether it be farming or fishing to export our produce.
Or look for industrial investments to expand our trade . The uncertainty that it creates is killing us like cancer .
He definitely is one of the JRM , pompous prick brigade .
Like JCB , Dyson backed Brexit then buggared off to foreign parts because of the damage that they did to team GB !!
Just to line their own greedy pockets !
Does anyone else think Dyson is a pompous pretentious patronising supercilious condescending and silly man who is nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is?
He backed the Truss/Kwarteng fiasco!

Typical brexit cake and eat it tears ! Cry babies beyond belief. Everyone else is wrong . They wanted out but don’t like the reality of what that means . It’s then everyone else’s fault because they don’t like the reality! WTF !!
It is just quite incredible at how little these cretinous politicians actually know about doing business & trade ?????
They haven’t got a foggiest idea about how it all works !!!
..so bloody fed up of Brexit morons (inc Hannan) not grasping this simple concept. When part of the EU we (buyers & sellers) operated on same single market, under same legal oversight & policing/data sharing. Now we don't. We now NEED a border force & "control" ..which COSTS more
The only bastards threatening our democracy are the tories !!!
That’s why they they are shouting to leave the ECHR !!!
Totalitarians .
As Churchill said ‘ fascism creeps in quietly !!
Apt that the Telegraph should post the face of the greatest threat to British democracy.
A weakling who meekly allows racists & fascists in his party to stoke hatred,
And now pretends to care about what he has allowed them to destroy.
You will not be missed, little man.
The tide is turning.Far more trucks coming up M20 today .Folkestone services rammed today ,empty last weds .Trouble just starting at Maidstone services junction where trucks for tunnel enter system. Tailed back beyond sight back up M20 towards London . Just the start of forever?

ALL now unfolding *GUARANTEED* once UK decided it would be *outside* the Customs *Union* (big fucking clue in the name) & *outside* the *Single* (big fucking clue in the name) Market...regardless of *any* (FTA) fucking deal
I wonder when or if a Tory mp is brave enough to admit that brexit was the most stupid thing that this country has ever done ??
Or at least to be honest and admit it was a mistake ?
How many facts do they need to do so ?
Make it compulsory for everyone to vote !! Then you have a census !! It’s either vote or put none of the above !! We have a society . We are either in control of our society or we have nothing .
The biggest voter fraud committed in 🇬🇧 was by Vote Leave & they were fined by the electoral commission £60k for it. They’re known now as our government.
We were doing that anyway Helen ! We’ve just lost 33% of our exporters to our biggest customer in 12 months . THAT IS MASSIVE ! Hmrc figures. What you are doing there could have been done whilst we were in the EU . So in comparison to the losses . Drop in the ocean come to mind ?

Guy nails grifter: “the biggest waste of money in the EU is the salary we all pay to Mr Farage. Let’s be honest about it, you are a member of the fisheries committee for example and you’re never there. Never. In 2011, no attendance. In 2012, no attendance”
Alex as you know , I grow , import & wholesale foodstuffs.
The more that this whole Brexit thing carries on , the more ridiculous it becomes !!
All this extra hassle , cost , reduced availability!
For what benefits I ask ??????
Dear UK followers !
Enjoy last day of Single-Market-style access to EU meat, fish, sausages, cheese, yoghurts, eggs, cut flowers, seeds etc
Reminder : 30% of food consumed in the UK comes from🇪🇺
Question : How many 🇪🇺firms will just give up faced with extra costs and hassle ?
👹 David Cameron’s former strategist says it’s “absolutely certain” Farage would win if his name was put to Tory members in a leadership contest.
I guess it’s no surprise given they also chose Brexit, Boris and Truss.
Do you really think that you are the future
Just look at yourselves
Old, finished, living in a dream world of the past .How you thought things were .

This is what our Fairness For Farmers rallies are about !!!
Post Brexit ,we face imports of SUBSTANDARD products produced by methods , we are not allowed to.
Then it is LABELLED DISHONESTLY
This now is destroying UK FOOD SECURITY
All down to Brexit !!
@andyinafield
@vanitywelsh
Difference being Thai produce needed to be certified to EU standards when UK was an EU member. Now there are no EU standards for placing produce on UK market. Anything goes. UK will accept any standards on its market. Only UK based need produce to the previous UK (EU) standards.

It’s changing rapidly now . Prices are beginning to rocket . Supplies are drying up . Mushrooms particularly in the last 3 weeks . Orders from Holland n Spain are delayed or don’t arrive. Cost of produce is soaring , due to haulage charges . Truck fro Spain was £2.5k now £7 k

Farage seems to say it’s probably 10x that amount… and doesn’t care.

I’m in farming, food distribution, importing . The crap that’s coming is unreal. Labour shortages driving everyone mad , fuelling yet more inflation. If we get shut down the European staff left here will go home n not come back . 2022 is looking shite already.
It’s a bloody nightmare now . We order gear , never know when it’s coming . Produce that I used to order 9 am one morning For delivery the following 4am , now comes mid morning the day after . Produce is 48 hr older when we get it . A long time in produce !
@j9fingers
A friend in UK s'market logistics industry told me earlier this week "at work we are seeing an alarming reduction in shelf life of Jit stock due to delays inbound"
& don't forget this with UK Gov still afraid to fully implement its TCA (food/SPS) controls..to be delayed 4th time
@vivamjm
@CeeMacBee
That statement from Catherine just shows how clueless about what is happening in the industry & what is involved in doing this trade in real life . If the government are listening to people like herself? It is no wonder we are in trouble.
Food isn’t produced by reading papers !
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.
@CaptainSwing666
..and hence why
(as predicted from last November by some of us)
UK's TCA market standards/SPS (food) import controls *will* be delayed again for a *4th* time
I would go further than that !!
The UK is falling behind on just about everything !!!
Can you tell of ANY area that has got better since Brexit ???
I cannot think of one ?
Well I’m heavily in the fruit, veg and food distribution.Importing from most of Europe. It doesn’t matter what you talk about , it is getting more &more expensive!! It will only be meat that gets cheaper, when Aussie , hormone and antibiotic full cheap shit beef & lamb arrives !
@MrRobertBob1
I run a wholesale fruit & veg business in Kent .
The problems are two fold
1st Brexit . Everything that arrives now is at least 24hrs older than it used to be . I use to be able to phone holland 8 am Monday for a 3 am Tuesday delivery. Now it arrive 10 am Wednesday
When you consider 80% of the fish caught in uk waters (shellfish) WAS exported to the eu ( no longer ) & 80% of the fish we consume (cod etc.) WAS caught in eu waters .
Any surprise that uk fishing is in trouble & being subsidised by government ???😂😂😂😂😢😢
🐠 Brexiters promised the dawn of a golden era for the fishing and seafood.
🦀 Those operating in the sector hoped Brexit would offer more control over volumes caught and the people catching in U.K. waters, subsequently presenting more opportunities for growth, particularly in

Miracles do happen!!!
But it ain’t rocket science realising Brexit is disastrous for farming & food security.
It just takes a bit of honesty to realise it !!!
Just to point out that most British fish are immigrants!!😂😂
They swim to and fro from European waters to ours . Always have done.
When we can’t sell 80% of what we catch to the eu .
Can’t catch 80% of what we eat , from eu waters .
Not very clever eh??😂😂
You may have seen some spurious claims by woke, Marxist FBPE types that British fish want to rejoin the EU.
This is absolute nonsense. Our fish are happy and proud of our country.
The issues currently on the farming industry are entirely CAUSED by Brexit .
No food policy !
Loss of exports !
Trade deals that undercut our sales !
Deregulated food standards !!
The list goes on !
All because of Nigel & his Brexit !!!
