UK food and drink trade deficit largest since 2000 at £21bn.

Brexit, Trump tariffs/wars and deindustrialization add to woes.

Exports to the EU fall, cheaper imports control inflation but reduce food security.

Must support local production, rejoin EU.

Good 🧵 on how it's not only the UK that needs to work on its external relations

Predictable that the EU would say only a closer relationship including action on China will avoid Made in Europe barriers, but there is a wider debate in the EU on how to treat partners which makes this slightly premature.

Chinese cars push up sales and put more pressure on employment adjustments for their European rivals

Their registrations in Europe rise 68% in 2026, twelve times the market as a whole, and without them sales would barely grow. Meanwhile, their rivals fall on the stock market and announcements of employment adjustments follow. Read

banning international competition is bad for consumers and it reduces the incentives of local firms to innovative and be more efficient, making them less competitive internationally. Dumb and short sighted.
