The missus' order of French food and drinks arrived this morning. Still no shortages across the entire shop, with many new lines arriving daily. They are even selling fresh peaches and nectarines after a few hiccoughs with transport within the UK (London and beyond).

The only thing missing was mustard. "Severe drought in Canada, poor harvests in France and the war in Ukraine have combined to reduce the supplies of mustard seeds available to producers."

Yup, French food should be delivered as pre Brexit because we're postponing checking EU imports.

Remember when Rees Smug told the people that border checks at Dover were unnecessary and would cause us harm, well 21 out of 22 lorries inspected were carrying meat unfit for human consumption, some were riddled with maggots, might not be so bad but when people told the victorian pipe cleaner that it was a smugglers charter he called their warnings project fear :( :dozey:

Maybe he thinks that's the type of food your typical hard working family normally eats, because after all he would know hard work if it punched him in the face.

Indeed, it's the brexit dividend of cheap food he promised the plebs :doh:

Maybe he's been watching I'm a Celebrity. The swear filter just won't give me the words to describe him.

Useful update on the impact of Brexit on the UK economy in the context of the new PM.

Any update on what the opportunities of brexit are, smugg's been looking for them for years without luck and even resorted to asking The Sun readers for theirs in desperation

Here's what were promised: Weekly food shop will become cheaper, shorter NHS waiting times, potentially more money for schools, higher wages, a resurgent economy, easier for young people to get on the housing ladder, more accountable politicians, a more prosperous and safer future.

The move to Imperial measure will doubtless be canned as will the idea to repeal EU legislation we incorporated into UK law. That probably leaves refinement of the Solvency II laws as doable, but the EU is also looking at those itself

Is that JRM’s 50 years eventually?

I think Truss showed that the loss-tax, low-regulation Brexiters' fantasy is an economist's nightmare and unachievable.

You can't argue with the gravity of trade and if you want lower taxes or more money to spend on the NHS, we will require smoother trading terms with our main trading bloc, the EU. The UK is the only G7 country whose GDP is not back to pre-Covid levels.

Voters may have been happy to accept the economy taking a 4% hit for more sovereignty and other reasons. But when that 4% hit translates into higher taxes, poorer services or no triple pensions lock, it's no surprise the polls suggest they're now thinking differently.
