Same applies to shoes and textiles. The EU applies levels upto 100% on some goods.
If we scrapped many of the tariffs much of our imported foodstuffs that we cannot grow here will become cheaper. |
Cheaper and bigger perhaps, brexit might not be so bad after all and I'm sure we're all grateful to Dave knuckles grandfathers for their sacrifice in the pursuit of bigger biscuits, they gave their yesterday's for our tomorrow's coffee morning or something like that
