Labour just letting undocumented, fighting age carrots into the country without a single check.
Please no more mention of Brexit in this sub, it gives the miserable sods in this sub an excuse to be miserable and moan about how doomed we all are. They love it
It’s great news. They won’t get any credit for it though
Does this mean the bananas will be more bent or more straight?
Will it mean fruit and veg won’t start going bad as soon as it gets home? There’s been a definite decline in freshness past couple years.
Luckily, Brexiters are allowed to boycott EU fruit and veg and pay more for sub-standard goods.
Who am I kidding? As if most Brexiters still alive ever buy fruit or veg.
Will they actually pass the savings on to us or more margin for them?
The shops will be getting it cheaper, we will not lol. More profits, yay?
Cheaper veg or larger profits? Time will tell I guess.
Bloody starmer, lowering our grocery bills, traitor! /s
No thanks, ill stick to my British Brexit Broccoli.
/s – incase youre a bit slow, or believe in Brexit still, or both.
It was all being smuggled through the NI border.
Fuckin ruined my smuggling sideline, bastards.
The price won’t go down, it will just be extra profits. Are we allowed to sell anything to Europe without the checks? Yes no? Or is it just one way? I hope it does help this country, but forgive me for not believing that Europe is doing anything to help us, they didn’t even want to help us when we where in europe.
But what about other food? Two Tier Keir strikes again!
For the shops , not for the customers .
Prices dont go down .
Waiting for die hard brexiteers to explain to me how this is betrayal and bad for us somehow
Don’t want none of that furun lettuce!! Brexit means Brexit!!
So they haven’t axed checks they are just not going to bring them in. So they may not be as expensive as they might have been?
So will make no difference on the cost of food.
And people wonder why we don’t trust politicians
“Controls were due to come into force on 1 July following multiple delays amid warnings they could add to inflation, damage the food supply and put companies out of business because Britain imports more than half its fruit and veg, nearly 80 per cent of it from the EU.”
“But biosecurity minister Baroness Hayman said the checks would now be scrapped after the Prime Minister struck an in-principle deal on agri-food trade known as an SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary) agreement with the EU in May, in a move that will “make food cheaper”.
If checks haven’t been implemented yet, I put doubt on food prices actually getting cheaper for real life prices and none of this “on paper it would have increased by such and such so actually it’s cheaper if you add this and that and that to get this”.
Or will.the retailers take the savings themselves as increased profits.
It’s almost like some sort of integration into a bigger market, kinda…
As long as it’s fresher and not arriving rotten as is the case with all Lidl near me
Saying that, Sainsbury’s, markies, and Aldi are usually fine
So could just be Lidl
Can labour get on their communications please.
This is a win, and needs to be shouted.
Does that mean that the veg you buy won’t be rotten mush the day after you buy it going forward?
Country doing ok
brexit
country becomes shit show
start to move slowly back towards the EU
country becomes better.
Can we skip the next 20 years of dithering and just rejoin already?
Given that a lot of Leave voters seem like a meat and two veg type, they should love seeing their food bill go down a bit.
What next? Cushy jobs in Europe for our swivel-eyed-loons?
It’s a good thing but I’m at such a lack of faith in this whole system that I don’t believe it will filter down, I think it’s just more profit for stores,
I paid 15p for a bag of carrots the other day , can pick other options for trade deals plz . I’m thinking wine and cheese .
We’re axing border checks before we actually brought them in. Great British success story.
First thing I noticed after Jan 21 was my fruit and veg expiring practically the day after I bought them. I am so happy about this.
We didn’t we just stay fgs.
It’ll not get cheaper for the consumer just the supermarket.
This is great news. Finally, something that will actually help the working class. Glad to see it.
That is nice, but why don’t we back our own farmers more?
Hopefully fresher too; seen far too many manky half rotted, old veggies the past few years.
