Newsnight forensically called out Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg over Brexit and it was magnificently done

We all know it’s true but it still makes a refreshing change to see it spelt out so clearly on the news, and Newsnight just did it brilliantly.

It’s presenter Victoria Derbyshire and the programme’s economics correspondent Ben Chu on the long-delayed impact of Brexit on the price of food and other produce coming into the UK.

And it’s four minutes very well spent.

Bravo, all.

I've waited seven years for this moment.

Another "project fear" consequence is proven true. Food price increases and food shortages. Brexit damages Britain every day. https://t.co/z7nCCHu6rg

This needs sharing on all social media
I honestly don't think people are aware of the seriousness of this
