After we leave (without a deal) all lorries will need export/import paperwork and will require checks. There will be continuous delays on both sides of the channel. Perishable food perishes. European suppliers will find other markets for their goods to avoid the hassle.This is what frustrates me.
Good job we've got turnips
If our government was serious, there would be greenhouses sprouting up all over the country to provide us with our perishable foods all year round.
There really is no need to rely on Spanish tomatoes, peppers or cucumbers when we grow them here in Kent.
This also sends out a clear message to the EU that we are serious and prepared to become as self sufficient as possible
