Not really been picked up by UK media, but it seems that Johnson is keen on building a bridge between Morocco and Gibraltar as part of trade talks between the two countries. Would be the first bridge to link Africa and Europe. The Spanish had their own plans, which fell through a couple of years ago but were recently revived. Will be interesting to see what develops. He loves a bridge does our Boris 😂👍 |

I still think it's bizarre that beef & lamb can be produced and transported from across the other side of the World and it can be cheaper than here, assuming that's the premise. this is from 2017. not a lot of detail but British lamb now CHEAPER than New Zealand versions for first time in six years BRITISH lamb is now cheaper than New Zealand versions for the first time in six years. PUBLISHED: 17:20, Tue, Nov 21, 2017 | UPDATED: 17:35, Tue, Nov 21, 2017 New Zealand lamb has traditionally been cheaper than the British variety The price difference is set to give a massive shot in the arm for the UK's food industry.
Despite coming from the other side of the world, New Zealand lamb has traditionally been cheaper than the British variety thanks to low costs, high yield, lower rates of disease and a favourable exchange rate.
But now the tables have turned and the price of meat from UK sheep is now cheaper than that of its antipodean suppliers for the first time since 2011, industry analysts revealed. The Brexit vote saw the pound fall, but that made imports more expensive. At the same time the UK market improved after good breeding weather this summer which led to 15.8 million lambs being born, a 12-year high. At the same time, New Zealand saw an increase in the price paid for milk so more farmers turned their attention to dairy farming which saw its lamb crop fall for the last three years running. They also had unseasonably bad weather, more disease and higher lamb mortality. Emerging foreign markets such as China are also buying more of the meat, which has forced up prices. The wholesale price of a kilo of lamb in the UK has fallen to £3.36, down 16 per cent year on year, said retail experts Mintec.
Meanwhile, the price of New Zealand lamb has jumped by a staggering 51 per cent to £3.82 a kilo here.
Analyst Michael Liberty said: “Brits could be tucking into more home grown lamb this winter. “Lower costs and higher efficiency rates in New Zealand typically give the country's sheep meat exporters a competitive advantage over UK lamb producers.
“However, with a weak pound and a decline in the New Zealand herd size, lamb prices are currently lower than New Zealand's in GB pound terms for the first time since 2011.”
He predicted more UK lamb on the domestic market over the next six months while frozen lamb from New Zealand becomes harder to source. Thanks for that,it's bloody complicated ,think I will carry on eating local Welsh lamb. |

Blame Brussels, they deliberately drove a wedge between the GB and NI to reignite the troubles, which they knew one of their member states ROI would benefit from. And you see why us Brits don’t want to be part of an organisation that values VIOLENCE and instability over it getting shown up by a country that had clearly proved successfully extricated itself from the EU was possible. |

Lord Frost, literally negotiated this. The same thing Boris Johnson trumpeted as a great deal |

They’ve shown how treacherous they can be, personally I hope we SEVERE diplomatic ties. |
