Brexit is destroying the country’s food system. When we fall to rely on imports we will be at the mercy of foreign powers. Why is Britain doing this?

We used to be awash with British strawberries before #Brexit . Now they’re only going to be enjoyed by those of us who can grow them in gardens and allotments. Who is going to feed the British people as more and more British farms give up farming food?

To destroy the food production in Britain is the most irresponsible act of any Govt in recent times. It leaves us wide open to being controlled by hostile foreign power. It leaves us at the mercy of climate events when they hit global food stocks. All for no advantage.

Shocking to hear our PM broadcast that the slaughter of pigs happens anyway so it doesn’t matter if farmers have to kill their own stock due to the fact his hard Brexit has caused a supply chain shock. He clearly has no intention of even looking at ways to solve this nightmare.
