And he's currently buying a £4m mansion...but can't pay his own legal bills.

Boris Johnson ‘agrees to buy’ £4m nine-bed Georgian manor house (with moat)

The 400-year-old Grade II-listed property has five acres and a moat fed by its own natural spring

Come on Clint. I know everything’s brexits fault but not this

Why is there a shortage of tomatoes and other fruit and vegetables in the UK? - BBC News

Supply issues have led the grocers Tesco, Asda, Aldi and Morrisons to limit sales of fresh produce.
www.bbc.co.uk

There’s plenty of genuine issues/challenges without people making bollocks up. There’s been this constant drip drip of misinformation still, not sure why ardent remainers feel it’s necessary (talking about the Twitter guy not you by the way). I honestly stick them with the ERG nutters

Was more the phantom company, another one! But you keep up your spirited defence of the government!!

And if you read the thread, he acknowledges the weather issue, but hilights why we have made inadequate alternative provisions.

Isn’t the point being made that we’d have stronger supply chains if we were part of the EU or have I misunderstood?

Point out where it blames Brexit like you always do for everything. And why is Ireland having the same problem with them being an EU country.

Nobody needs any more evidence about these threads being more about Brexit bashing than being truthful. Even though it's all there in black and white the rubbish continues.

Brexit was shite and is shite. It has caused no end of trouble. But why can't we just keep to the truth for once?

Other than the usual blaming Brexit for things that it has nothing to do with there isn't a point. And it is so obvious.

I thought it was only supposed to be Brexit that has anything to do with lies/misinformation.

Oh I was talking about the great tomato shortage. Not defending the government at all. I think they’ve made an absolute shambles of stuff post brexit. My point is people trying to blame everything on Brexit is a bit weird

Reminds me of the old Spitting Image joke, Rishi Sunak goes out for dinner with Braverman, Hunt, and Raab. When the waiter comes, Sunak orders chicken. "And what about the vegetables?" the waiter asks. "Oh they'll have the same" replies Sunak.

Supply chains shouldn’t have changed. Next year maybe. The fact that it’s probably far easier to supply to nearby countries on mainland appears to be missed.

‘Policy adviser Ksenja Simovic said: "It doesn't help that the UK is out of the EU and single market, but I don't think this is the primary reason the UK is having shortages."
The main impact of new border procedures for fruit and vegetable imports will not be felt until January 2024 - while imports from Morocco, which is outside the EU, are already subject to border checks.’

tbf, 'it doesn't help that the UK is out of the EU and single market' is not the same as 'Brexit has had no impact on the shortages' is it?

Ive not said it’s had no impact, it might have had a minor impact but people latch onto this as the reason. Just pointing out the nonsense

Anyway Grenners why are you so shocked political parties promise to do things when in power shock?

It would be weird if not, pledges are not a new thing. If they start carving them into stone then people can be worried.

So what we can agree is that if we're listing reasons for food shortages, we can put supply issues, unseasonable weather, and Brexit on thie list?

At the bottom…if you want We’re three years post proper brexit. It’s not happened since so can only presume the other issues are the primary drivers

I'm not going to ruin this thread but can I just point out that linking to a thread where people are asking if you are ok as you are trying to justify Putin and his invasion of Ukraine is maybe not the proof of stability you seem to think it is fella.
