It's pretty clear where the errors were made: Downing Street has said Boris Johnson maintains confidence in the fisheries minister after she admitted not reading the post-Brexit trade deal with Brussels when it was agreed because she was busy organising a nativity trail. Victoria Prentis faced calls for her to quit after the comments, but the prime minister is standing by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) minister. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I missing something? I think you are missing the sheer scale of the paperwork that's required. A lot of continental hauliers simply aren't bothering to come to the UK anymore.

Not a lot of daylight for you this time of the year, is there. You must be really looking forward to Spring! Didn't happen to see that Rick Stein programme about Cornish Gouda did you? Not normally a great Gouda fan (too bland) but some of the vintage stuff looked well worth a punt. He's sold out for now though of the more interesting ones. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did however get an interesting, new to me cheese recently. Tunworth, it’s a smelly soft cheese a bit like a Camembert in taste but from Hampshire. I will be buying it again, really nice English cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems to me that if things were as easy as he makes it out, why have so many major companies both in the UK and EU experienced such severe problems? We dont really know how universal it is though wowzz as I said earlier the media love to make .mountains out of mole hills. But I am not saying there is no problem, just that we need to know the true facts before we get our knickers totally twisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
