Please stop saying that food shortages are down to Brexit. They’ve been caused by crop shortages in Spain and Morocco and the reduced output is mainly reaching supermarkets within the EU’s borders. It’s absolutely nothing to do with Brexit.

Sick of remoaners whining about fruit and veg shortages. Just saw all of this amazing produce in my local ASDAS and had a chat with the lovely manager as well. You won’t see this photo in the mainstream media. pic.twitter.com/Y1ehp4Dbgq

For balance one must look at Brexit objectively. Ok we have food shortages, disastrous business & export problems, a drop in standards for working people and are losing vast sums every week that would help the country. But on the plus side, no Ive got nothing #BrexitFoodShortages pic.twitter.com/XVsXTDtPUA
