Great @hulldailymail.co.uk letter rubbishes idea leaving #EU good for #farming & #agriculture. 86% of #farmers think Leave promises broken, says writer. Now #Brexit chickens home to roost, what's best solution to tackle #BrexitShambles & help #UKAgriculture? #RejoinEU #SingleMarket something else?
This letter appeared in the Hull Daily Mail on 31 July 2025. The writer questions a previous correspondent's assertions that Brexit has been good for British farming. In fact, it's caused "devastation" to the agricultural sector.
