How about meeting British Growers to promote sustainable agriculture? #Saladshortages #Tomatogate #Turnip #Brexit #Leavalley Defra UK Thérèse Coffey Sir Mark Spencer
I don’t blame Brexit but I do blame this gov Thérèse Coffey We cannot simply offshore our food production which you are trying to do #greenwash Get a grip! Are we eating seasonally #turnipgate or are we exploiting #supplychain and exporting our industry ? 🤔
UK retailers respond to failure in supply chain management by importing eggs from Italy bravo well done, I hope you are proud The British Retail Consortium UK supply chain’s being decimated by retailers, UK government asleep on the job. Offshoring food production doesn’t offshore it’s CO2 emissions
Ladies if you ever miss your train & cannot get back home don’t try to check into Hilton Hotels I was told there was a room but after I had no photo ID this happened. Always be prepared to tell men (even strangers) where you have been & why you are out at 1am.
Basically, despite all that 5-a-day/eat more fruit and veg bilge it spouts, UK government has no intention of supporting growers to produce said fruit and veg. My The Grocer column thegrocer.co.uk/second-opinion…
Derrick Wilkinson That's headline grabbing and a compliant media will suck it up. Who will investigate deeply which businesses in the food chain are making big money and which is being screwed. If prices are capped, watch retailers go to producers and "ask" for "help", i.e. take lower prices!
Derrick Wilkinson You couldn’t make this up! Price cap. So Supermarkets will reduce producer payments. Producers pull out / reduce output. Empty shelves. More imports. It’s basically what the egg industry has been going through in the last 18 months, and the government has now put a cherry on top!
Liz Truss These deals do mark a new era for Britain as an idiotic, self-harming trading nation and they wouldn’t have been necessary either if we were still in the EU, where we’d also have had a much better chance of standing up to authoritarians than we do now pissing around on our own.
