ABSOLUTE,TOTAL EPITOME OF EXACTLY WHERE UK IS AT RIGHT NOW! A PICTURE PAINTS A MILLION WORDS

I typically start the day reading the always excellent 8am Playbook from ResearchProfessionalNews & was esp enjoying this morning’s one by Harriet Swain on youth mobility across EU/UK before coming across this - & then I liked it even more. I’m glad someone remembers what I wrote 5 yrs ago!

A quarter of the food we eat is imported from the EU. The new border controls will add an estimated £2.9 billion a year to the cost of bringing it into the UK, according to our analysis. The costs are not spread evenly. Products like fresh meat and fish, cut flowers, eggs…
