border controls coming into force later this month will cost UK businesses £2 billion and lead to higher inflation and food prices is hardly a surprise.
While the UK Government has been pledging to cut inflation, this will only serve to add to it, with dairy, meat and fish products most affected. Food prices are still 30% higher than three years ago, and this will only exacerbate that problem.Coupled with this, it is becoming increasingly evident that despite Brexit, the UK will have to follow new EU standards currently being pushed through the European Parliament.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
