As of today, next the Government will be instituting “Food Security Checks” at the ports on all animal products imported from the EU.

They estimate that it will add £330,000 a year to the cost of importing food from the EU. Industry experts disagree, saying the true figure is closer to 3 times that amount of money.

This will be passed on to the consumer…. BUT it is totally unnecessary as UK food standards are already fully aligned with EU Standard.

This is a choice Government has made – and at a time when there is already a cost-of-living crisis they are planning that food will cost more.

ARE THEY ARE TRYING TO BREAK BREXIT?

At the same time, they are withdrawing all support for food production in the UK – and transferring any subsidies to “Green Projects”.

It appears that they have no regard for farming, food security or the consumer.

That is, you – you will be paying the bills.
