Back in October we published a report assessing the domestic impact of a no-deal, we found that the cost of basic goods would increase dramatically bestforbritain.org/britain2021
Using the gov’ts own figures set out in the UK global tariff regime earlier this year, we calculated that the cost of staple goods like tinned tomato and pasta would be subject to a 10-20% increase in cost
The average packet pasta would cost 65p, up from 53p
And we in the UK are major consumers of pasta, getting through 343,200 tonnes of it last year
Whilst an itemised cost increase may not sound significant, that's an overall increase of £20 million for the British consumer, not to mention the impact of even minor increases in cost on those who will be struggling the most this winter.
