  1. ​​​ @moon_knight8578 Milk prices were 15p while we were in the EU. They peaked at 50p last year. What do you think caused that?

  2. no, the reality is that since the pound dropped and we suddenly had barriers to trade, it has been, on average, better.

  3. I don't really understand. What is he trying to achieve? There are only around one hundred thousand farmers in the UK. They are hardly a political force. Illegal migrants crossing the channel probably have a larger political clout than the farmers.

  4. ​ @verystripeyzebra A large number of new arrivals appear to be very good at blockading parts of London, harassing various members of Parliament and influencing votes in the commons. But let's not mention that.

  5. The reality is the majority of farmers dont sell directly to the EU. They sell to a middle man (who are large multi million pound corporations) who then sell to the customer in Europe. These middle men really have no issues negotiating Brexit red tape. If you look at trade data exports to the EU are good.

  6. ​​ @verystripeyzebra Here are some facts. In 2016 98 000 tones of beef was exported to the EU. In 2022 (After we left the EU) 128 000 tones of beef was exported to the EU.

  7. Starmer actually has more in common with rural voters. They share a similar religion and Starmer pays his taxes. Infact i would say Starmer and his team look like the average person you'd meet at University.

  8. ​ @sarahgriffiths-p5k  People look for something familiar. I bet it is something Starmer understands. An unelected Hindu billionaire who only pays 20% tax would not typically go down well with the average voter in the shire.

  9. ​ @sarahgriffiths-p5k  Why is no one voting for him? Arguably, he should have won the leadership contest. He was the best option. In terms of leadership ability, he is a better man than Starmer. Sunak can give a very clear direction. Yet he is not performing in the polls.
