Slim I wish you caught Ch4HDnews tonight
(Live in the Leeds Studio)
around 7.35PM.

Although workers went home due to Brexit,
they were due to return
Official Government Contract,
to a Good Quality Pig Farmer
but then in 2020 China's Covid stopped their return.

My Point is, although you are right on some Brexit points
you fail to mention how China's Covid-19 has
messed up all our Farmers,
Far Worse.

Even the Telegraph is finally admitting the truth.

Brexit a major cause of UK’s return to austerity, says senior economist

Brexit is the ultimate reason why the UK now faces a fresh round of austerity, a former interest rate-setter at the Bank of England has said.

“The UK economy as a whole has been permanently damaged by Brexit,” Michael Saunders, a former external member of the central bank’s Monetary Policy Committee said in an interview with Bloomberg TV.

“It’s reduced the economy’s potential output significantly, eroded business investment,” he said, adding: “If we hadn’t had Brexit, we probably wouldn’t be talking about an austerity budget this week.”

“The need for tax rises, spending cuts wouldn’t be there, if Brexit hadn’t reduced the economy’s potential output so much.”

Saunders joined the rate-setting committee shortly after the result of the Brexit referendum in 2016 and left the role in August this year.

He said the “main legacy of that period” was weak economic output.

The prime minister, Rishi Sunak, and the chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, have both warned that the autumn statement will probably include spending cuts and tax rises.

Hunt, who is to address parliament on Thursday, said last week that there would be a “tough road ahead”.

it's not all caused by brexit, but it's flattened the economy making it difficult for us to ride out the storm when times are tough

No they don't, really. Obviously that isn't helping, but even before the invasion we were recovering from the pandemic worse than the rest of the G7, and the BoE have also previously said that brexit is worse for our economy than the the pandemic, so these other factors are definitely having a major impact, but no other country is dealing with the self-harm of brexit on top.

Brexit has added Ł210 to the average household food bill in the two years to the end of 2021, new research suggests.

Academics at the London School of Economics found that the cost of food imported from Europe went up because of extra red tape and checks.

It said that the changes for items going across the border had pushed food prices up by 6% to Ł5.84bn overall.

Price rises hit poorest households hardest because they spend more of their pay packets on food, it added.

But it noted one benefit seen since Brexit was reduced competition for food producers in Britain.

The BBC has contacted the Department for International Trade for comment.

Researchers at its Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) looked at data tracking the flow of trade and prices of food products between the UK and the European Union (EU) to work out how shoppers were being affected by the UK's exit.

Their calculations sought to isolate the effects of Brexit and separate them out from other supply chain issues that caused disruption during the pandemic.

It blamed the increase in food prices on a rise in "non-tariff barriers" on trade between the UK and the EU, which include things like new customs checks at the borders, new paperwork requirements and broader measures affecting the movement of animals and plants.
