Post-Brexit sales of British farm products to the EU fell by 37%.

Exports of British farm products to the EU have dropped almost 40% in the five years since Brexit, highlighting the trade barriers caused by the UK’s divorce from the EU in 2020.

Analysis of HMRC data by the National Farmers’ Union shows the decline in sales of everything from British beef to cheddar cheese has dropped by 37.4% in the five years since 2019.

Tony has been a member of the National Farmers Union for years. He is a past President of the Huron NFU Local. He co-founded the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario, helped launch the Collaborative Regional Alliance for Farmer Training, and also served as president of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture.

@der_manu
Was im Grunde noch viel zu freundlich ist. Passender wäre inzwischen, sie umzubenennen. Als "SubAfD" oder "AfDCo(horten)" oder #NFU (Neue faschistische Union) oder #AAfD (Asoziale Antichristen für DE).

@Lazarou If you remember the #NFU executive was divided 50/50 so left it as a 'conscience' vote. I was Devon rural at the time, over the farm gate it was even stevens up until the last 10 days, then the Fail weighed in with their lies...the rest is history.

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social they gave into Brexit, they'll give into this. But take away their tax loopholes (because they're shit businessmen) and the greedy landowning fucks will protest.....and the Police will let them!!

Despite China’s consistent promotion of NFU as a global standard and recent calls for its inclusion in international law, many military analysts dismiss it as a political statement rather than a practical strategy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/08/06/japan/china-nuclear-first-use/ #commentary #japan #china #nuclearweapons #defense #us #nfu

Britain’s farmers battered by Brexit fallout and rising costs, says union (#NFU)

“It comes at a time when many farmers believe they have been undercut by the trade deals negotiated by the government, and are unimpressed with ministers’ post-Brexit plans”

Yet most of these #farmers voted for #Brexit.
Turkeys and Christmas come to mind
