Dairy sales crash post-Brexit Sales of dairy products to the EU are down 9% since Brexit, new figures show. With sales of chicken and beef down by almost 80%, the trade barriers in Boris Johnson’s deal have cost exporters more than £1.1bn since the start of the year, according to the Food and Drink Federation. The group says it is “essential” that the UK restarts talks with the EU to resolve the crisis. Johnson has previously rejected an offer from the bloc to align with the EU on food standards. 5 Syrian teen sues Robinson A teenager who is suing Tommy Robinson for libel is seeking between £150,000 and £190,000 in damages from him.

The Syrian’s lawyer said Robinson had continued to exacerbate the distress caused to the family during the libel trial.
