🧵From my mate Tom who, works a stall at food markets:

Fruit and veg pissed off because he can’t buy half of what he wants at a price he can then sell. Wholesale price for grapefruit - £25 a box of 12, for example...

🧵...Clothes seller can’t get his winter stock because his wholesalers warehouse is empty.

Conversation:
Clothes seller (remained): “why did we leave Europe?”...

🧵...Me: “to take back control. You remember the old days when we were forced to have full shelves in supermarkets, enough lorry drivers to keep the supply chain rolling, when we had no petrol shortages. Back then, when we had no control, we always had to...

🧵...put up with enough gas and electric to keep us warm through winter. Bastards, the EU”

Grocer(Leaver): “…yeah…”, before melting into background

Letter from cheese wholesalers last night....

🧵...Minimum of 2.5% price rises on all cheeses from 1st November. Continental cheeses priced weekly for foreseeable future. Due to increased shipping and distribution costs.

🧵...I think a trade war with EU is now probably government policy. Blame EU for increased costs causing inflation, allow the Tories to be seen as the good guys fighting the EU bullies. All good for the Tories, disaster for the rest of the country.

This isn’t going to end well
