Because there is competition for the EU oranges, and the oranges from the southern hemisphere tend to have been stored at the end of their season?

Also, amalgamation in the fruit industry as a result of the Single Market, makes returns questionable.
Just the slightest bit of research from these "Brexit experts" would have saved us having to explain this before we left the EU and afterwards.

One of the arguments was that we can't drop tariffs on countries that on EBA we can't... 🙄
It gets funnier.

"I wouldn't say that was a major reason but it's certainly one".

Certainly one of the reasons people voted to leave was to remove tariffs from the poorest countries that didn't have tariffs on them.
Man who believed tariffs that were raised seasonally were actually at the request of Spain is now arguing Oranges with @Jim_Cornelius who has spent more time looking at Oranges trade than the man from Del Monte.

From the people who argued that a leaflet with a government seal was binding on parliament. 🤣
"We'll just get rid of that inconvenient separation of power."
The "will of the people" in a representative democracy is, of course, bound in parliament.

The solution is, of course, the Ukrainian model...or at least that's my solution.

Moving together in areas where is makes sense to the two parties rather across the whole body of legislation in the EEA.
Regulatory approximation, rather than accepting laws like they do in the EEA.

Breaking: MP who campaigned for a year to leave the EU and stay in the Single Market before saying we have to leave the Single Market "and it doesn't exist anyway", has resigned after complaining that the integrity he "holds very dear" had been questioned.
Owen Paterson, seen here complaining about the levels of pesticides set in water had recently been found guilty by the House of Commons Committee on standads.
Paterson claims it was vital to introduce the technology of the company that was paying him money to find substances which had levels "too low for other current testing technologies to detect".

This is a difficult situation for @JamilAnderlini. This is not in @POLITICOEurope, and editors are expected to back their staff, but equally, this is becoming damaging for Politico.

This isn't one day and a retraction, we are in day 2 and Alex is doubling down.
Politico are in danger of being part of the story now.

Is this going to lead to a ban on journalists associating themselves with their publication's brand on twitter in their profile?

Are they being deliberately this stupid in their desperate attempt to give balance to a positive Brexit? I don't know. I just can't with these people anymore.
I was left unsure that prices had gone up because of inflation, because later on in the article is says prices go up all the time!
"I'm left unsure that the thing they've historically done because they have empty shelves is actually down to food shortages"

Ok I've been having some fun today, but this thread is serious.
If what Dominic Cummings has said is true, there is a chain of events which makes this a serious problem, and it goes like this...
The government negotiated a deal they had no intention of honouring.
