Re: Stockpile your popcorn

30% of the UK’s food supply comes from the EU. 11% comes from non-EU countries. Is your plan to quadruple the supply of food from non-EU countries overnight?

None of this food could travel through EU countries without reams of paperwork, checks and delays. Shipping food from places like Argentina obviously takes a while.

I assume therefore we are talking about a constant stream of planes bringing millions of tons of food into the UK from non-EU countries? Who is going to pay for all this?

We have literally just seen supermarket shelves emptied by panic buying and this was when there were no supply constraints.
