Today's nominally the day we would run out of food if, during the course of a year, we relied exclusively on eating what's produced here in the UK.

A chilling reminder from Minette Batters, the president of the National Farmers' Union, on Sky News.
Minette Batters: "We are massively concerned [about no deal]. We've said from day one that no deal would be socially and economically catastrophic."

Now tell us what you really think...
Added: the first tweet paraphrased her longer explanation. What she means is, if you imagine how much food we import and how much we produce locally over the course of a year, and piled up a year's worth of locally produced food, we'd have eaten our way through it today.
