British food and drink exports to EU fall by £2bn in first quarter of 2021 - quelle surprise
In other news - a few short weeks ago you couldn't turn the tellybox on without some reporter or another sticking his long mike and pole up the nose of some folk from Hartlepuddles. It started at least 2 weeks before and carried on for days after, as it was obvious to all and sundry that the CONservatives were going to haul in the Kipper votes and win by a margin and a half regardless of how feckless and reckless the Government has been for the last year and a bit.
This morning I discover there was another by-election, yesterday, in the super-safe Tory seat of Chesham and Amersham where they got walloped by the Lib-Dem's. Given the Tory's apparently knew they were in for a hammering, why hasn't this been on and in the news constantly for the last 2 weeks? One can only wonder? I guess they are all still sitting on their Chalfont's on that one.
