Average food availability over the last few years has dropped to the lowest level since WWII, which is a pretty low bar for 'thriving'

Depends - does Broccers eat fruit and veg?

Brexit fans have been quite lucky over the last couple of years, everything has been so catastrophically shit it's impossible to weed out what shit comes from Brexit

I'm working with a bunch of EU people on an evidence review about making food and diets more sustainable, and they have such a good way of working to develop policy that I really miss it. Meanwhile Baldrick Coffey just says 'eat more turnips'

Welcome to the fourth turning. Will get a whole lot worse.

Farmers seem to be loving the loss of their EU subsidy's
Manufacturing is doing well

IIRC farmers were one of the bigger Brexit supporters and quite vocal about it on tv. So far they’ve lost their EU subsidies and now are now having to compete with far more imported produce.
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you…

FTSE ! Meds !

Y'all know Broccers isn't going to address any of this or justify himself in any way, right ? He's just a drunken troll.

Nice

And farmers are largely in the dark about how future payments/funds for public goods/ELMS will materialise.

Perfect

FTSE100 is a poor measure of UK economy anyway as over 2/3 of its sales are from overseas. Just means that companies which are listed here are having a good time abroad.

OK so if it went down then that would be because of Brexit, yes?

I am looking forward to the total sell out later today tho, meds at the ready

Largely because those overseas profits are in dollars (or whatever) and are now a higher number in £ because Sterling has tanked and we have nearly 10% inflation. It needs to have gone up 10% just to - effectively - break even.

Oh, do tell.
