Cannot answer. what i would say is the answer is to get back in the single market and free us up because there are no advantages to brexit whatsoever. particularly for food production and food security and public health. lord linley, in black and white today the government acknowledged that post brexit checks would add to food inflation which is the opposite of what was outlined. by the opposite of what was outlined. by 2% in three years to be specific. so with the trade deal it was supposed to boost the economyjust by 0.08% so this figure would be a headline. i would by 0.08% so this figure would be a headline. iwould rather we by 0.08% so this figure would be a headline. i would rather we had no controls on food and food products coming from the eu as we have not had for 50 years. but if we cannot do that, the only reason to have any is for health reasons. and i understand ministers are worried
Is not true. as i said, it is a double-edged is not true. as i said, it is a double-edged sword. - is not true. as i said, it is a double-edged sword. i - is not true. as i said, it is a double-edged sword. i feel is not true. as i said, it is a - double-edged sword. i feel sorry for double edged sword. i feel sorry for consumers facing inflation and as farmers facing an unfair playing field. added to which, gene editing is no benefit to us because farming is no benefit to us because farming is collapsing in britain right now because of brexit. gene editing is no advantage to us if we are not producing any food. right now, our farmers cannot afford to produce food. we are not subsidised any longer, europeanfarmers food. we are not subsidised any longer, european farmers are, many other farmers longer, european farmers are, many otherfarmers across the longer, european farmers are, many other farmers across the world are subsidised. these products are coming in, undercutting us, and we are not able to afford to produce food. all of the support they have offered us has been withdrawn. we must be that they you ll come back to this issue again no doubt. thank you for us, liz webster and lord lilley, and nick thomas simmons. we know our mental health services are under pressure. we know demand is unprecedented. and in some cases this has led to failures, but at one trust it seems they ve gone to great lengths to protect those in charge from criticism. a report into the norfolk and suffolk foundation trust,
