Tesco: Brexit impact on food prices 'very modest

[Thomas]

Thats strange as food price rises have been  worldwide . Increased transport costs and the cost of cereals and veg oils are given as the main reasons for increases .

Maybe a change of diet Papa ?

Wasting your time mate.

pappy doesnt want you pissing on his anti tory fireworks.

I posted an article on here the other week showing the same trend in price rises in supermarkets across the USA. Thats the tories and brexit fault as well.

Same thing happening in France and many other countries.

I had to change my diet drastically back in March. I volunteered (after my wife and I were counselled by a specialist nurse,) for some medication not yet in general use. Deviate from the associated dietary requirements and there are some dire effects.
I have however lost 15 kilos in weight since March.

Will my tabs and beer go up, Borchester?

It might Deppity. As an ex alkie I can assure you that beer is always cheap, regardless of the price, so I dare say the brewers will squeeze the public the way they have done since the wedding at Cana. That said, you yourself have admitted that every time you place a bet the poor bloody nag ends up in the glue factory, so horsemeat prices might fall

It is now obvious prices of just not food are rocketing. Just in the under two weeks I was out of the country recently, when I came back the price rises were a shock.

Perhaps this thread needs updating.

Because now - approaching the end of 2021 - it has become apparent to me as a supermarket worker that the price of many foodstuffs have rocketed of late - with massive supply issues on top.

Not just food and groceries either. Gas prices are spiking, though this is probably not Brexit-related, the petrol price is also rocketing. Private rents continue to soar apparently without limit, likewise house prices. Council tax too. And next April our taxes are due to go up via an NI increase on all working people, though not the landlords growing fat off the fruits of their labour.

To be fair, a lot of that is unrelated to Brexit, though when it comes to food price hikes and shortages, Brexit is definitely a major factor..

Brexit-related or not, all of this is inflationary and we are starting to see the threat of levels of inflation not seen for decades. And this is likely to result in higher interest rates, which will hammer all mortgage payers, and everyone with any kind of credit card or other debt.

Worst case scenario could see us back to 70s style stagflation, with rising prices and a stagnant economy, with high interest rates, except that this time pay might not even keep up like it mostly did back then, and most of us could end up getting steadilly poorer, which will in turn depress demand still further. Even the economists are far from certain as to what the future holds, however, so let's just hope it is nowhere near as bad as that.
