I do wonder why & how things like wheat, corn, potatoes and milk are imported, surely it has to be cheaper to use our own produce . . . or is this where the EU tariffs come into play?

Well you've got me there . . . unless much of it comes from Russia? (not EU)

And that's a great deal of cars too . . . maybe we should all keep the old model a year or two longer, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt the manufacturers much, and the second hand car market would get a boost
I guess what I'm getting at is . . . if all the trade deals offered to us are really bad, who else are the EU going to sell to?
