I can't help but notice that the members of this parliamentary comittee are all former directors of Goldman Sachs and friends of George Soros. We all know who is behind this.THEY control everything.

I've been moaning about how noticeably more expensive food is getting for ages, a year at least.
Healthy food feels like a luxury now.

You're right Clifford. It's obviously more fake news.
Everybody knows prices have been plummetting, and will continue to do so, for as long as we Brexit. When prices do go up, its the liberal elite offshore supermarket corporations that are deliberately undermining the economic miracle that is brexit.
You and me and the rest of us proud Brexiters are up against the same nasty propagandist liberal elite media that the poor Mr President of the Free World has to contend with, you know - the greatest president that has ever lived?
Let's hope that when we finally leave, the Tories will form economic policies that benefit us voters rather than the banking community members within their ranks and the lobbyists they've always been as keen as mustard to please since decades before we joined the EU.
I'm glad you and me and Theresa are all on the same page.

When we first joined the "Common Market" I was told that food prices would go up - but that didn't matter because white goods would go down.
Of course, as you can imagine, I was fine with that, because I buy a new fridge or washing machine every week, whereas I only buy food once every few years.
