.@BBCBreakfast: Tesco says No-Deal Brexit will increase food prices by 5%.
Dominic Raab: "I'm not concerned about supermarket shelves running bare or the cost of food prices".
It's the fact that @DominicRaab just disregarded 30% of our total food supply like it was NOTHING!
Michael Gove HAS ALREADY ADMITTED that food prices will rise if there's a #NoDealBrexit, but Dominic Raab isn't concerned.
Unlike most of those on the other side of this, I'm cursed with a journalistic conscience, so I've been thinking "Oh no! Did I cut off that footage unfairly? Maybe I should put up what Dominic Raab says next so people can hear it in context".

Oh I'm very aware of that. I'm blocked by Julia Hartley-Brewer, Daniel Hannan, and John Redwood, and while it's a nice badge of honour...
It means they're able to spew misinformation without being challenged by me.
Here are the videos that got me blocked:
With Julia Hartley-Brewer, she blocked me for sharing this video.
So now she can spread intolerance without me bothering her. @JuliaHB1
Daniel Hannan blocked me for sharing this video. In fact we were supposed to debate each other with @krishgm, but he pulled out as soon as he heard it was me.
So now @DanielJhannan can keep lying about Brexit without me calling him out.
Hmmm...🤔
Brexiters now want a No-Deal which forces the EU to put tariffs on the UK, because they don't want a deal where if UK standards fall behind EU standards the EU would put tariffs on the UK?
You're snatching the gun out of the EU's hand and shooting yourself in the face.
Everyone gets how dumb this is, right?
The only substantial difference between what they're complaining about and what they're going for is that what they're going for has zero chance of even temporary free trade.
Here a few reasons why you shouldn't be nasty to Leave-voters who lose their jobs because of Brexit. #BrexitReality
Even as I was making this video, part of my brain was screaming the opposite, because this argument works for voting Leave, but less so for voting Tory after 3yrs of chaos...
It's not a black and white issue, but I wanted to put out a strong argument in the compassion direction.
But I guess that's the dilemma we've all been dealing with since day 1.
Can we all take a second to think about the fact that the government is willing to falsely claim that approving the vaccine a few weeks earlier is a huge Brexit health success, but won't acknowledge that every medical authority in the UK says Brexit is a health disaster?
I'm a political party.
I spend 3 years saying "x" shouldn't happen, even though 70% of my voters are screaming they want "x".
I switch to being pro-"x" two months before the election.
I lose.
To blame my loss on the voters who told me to support "x" would be INSANELY immature.
I can write it in crayon if that helps?
We had an election where 2nd Referendum Parties got a "clear" majority of the vote and some people can't imagine that maybe labour shouldn't have spent 3 years campaigning against what turned out to be the actual will of the people...
