Living costs are rising across the whole of Europe mostly driven by spikes in demand due to Covid,what food shortages? Yes, but they've gone up more in proportion here. It seems like you were the only person in the UK who didn't see food shortages, TG. Maybe Trevor stashed a load of food underground at the time I live in London and for weeks I was struggling to buy basic veg and long life items like pasta and rice, I had to go to 4/5 different shops. Don't forget the fuel where I couldn't fill up the car for about 3 weeks at one point... But hey, as FranceGas said - there weren't shortages of pigs in blankets so there couldn't be shortages of anything else all year, right? Gassy the majority of the UK in a poll (which some like to use) agreed that the fuel shortage was not the cause of Brexit or the fault of the government but was caused by the media!

So that means there wasn’t any ! 😂 But Yatton you've put it all in the past tense. Are there still ongoing food shortages is there still panic buying for fuel which you have blamed on Brexit. The answer should be yes but I doubt it is. No panic buying for fuel now but yes there are still supply problems . Just go into a supermarket here and have a look at the fruit & veg sections. Often you’ll see empty shelves of certain products.

How about a different view, we have been spoilt for choice for decades,we want to have multiple product choices whilst half the World is starving ,don't you find that disgusting,perhaps if we had less choice then we wouldn't waste as much and just perhaps there would be more for those who really need it.

Often you’ll see empty shelves of certain products. Ok I'll have a look in Feb. We are driving down to the Costa del Sol for two weeks and planning a day trip to Gibraltar. There's a Morrisons there which gets it's deliveries from the UK (taking 3 days) so if there should be shortages anywhere it should be there. I can't understand why there's no longer fuel shortages I mean we haven't as far as I know rejoined the EU and the 1000s of European lorry drivers who left returned!

Why don’t you pop over here and see the lorry queues in Calais & Dover as well ?

The UK produces the highest amount of food waste in europe resulting in billions of pounds being wasted. It is estimated that the UK food waste of some 9.5 million tonnes could feed upwards of 30 million people for a year. It's estimated there are 8 million people in food poverty in the UK.

That maybe the case but it’s bugger all to do with Brexit is it ? If the Tories are worried about foreign aid perhaps it wasn’t a great idea to cut it . Oh….. and it’s Germany who has the highest food waste in Europe. www.statista.com/statistics/1219830/per-capita-food-waste-of-selected-countries-in-europe/
