Westministenders: Boris and God Knows what next. (I'm all out of ideas!)

[RedToothBrush]

Still a week until Stoke and Copeland. (Labour Hold/Con Gain unless something strange happens) QT is from Stoke next week.

A50 hits the Lords next week. Melania is being lined up to do something for the women. (God help us all).

Will UKIP survive? Will Nuttall survive? Will Labour survive? Will Trump survive? Will CNN survive? Will the Lords survive? Will Theresa May survive a class room of children?

All these questions and more

If I can't buy meatballs from ikea I will LOSE MY SHIT 😠😠😠😠😠

Badders we may have to think about a meatball intervention, it's for your own good.

Woman...to paraphRase the NRA...
....you will take my ikea meatballs from my cold dead hands....

Pah, damn your elitist IKEA meatballs!

Please sir, don't take the quinoa... Won't someone think of the kids

Call me what you like, mock my family, but STEP AWAY FROM MY MEATBALLS*

*not a euphemism

French Stick? Its what you get hit with, not what you eat.
Tikka Masala? Only with Indian Freedom of Movement.
Ikea Meatballs? Metropolitian elite food for terrorists. Je Suis Sweden.
Fish & Chips? Battered fish is jewish in origin. Potatoes are from the New World.

Folks, we left with turnips. Baldrick's Turnips.

15% veg up, 8% up beef meat

Weekly shop on WTO rates: up 5%; £200 on annual shop estimated on the food brexit programme.

Wonder about petrol, gas and electricity, and pharma.

.....but I don't have a cunning plan red!!...

French Stick? Its what you get hit with, not what you eat.

Ohhhh. Is that what the EU are administering our punishment beatings with?

What about the gluten intolerant you elitist bastards!!

So how will higher food prices in Brexit Britain help the left behind/JAMS?

badders I'm sure any food intolerance is solely the domain of liberal elitists in the UK at least. Those French Sticks will do nothing except ruin someone's diet

Look you'll love the brightest and best balls that that nice Mr Banks talks, Badders : British Balls.

I have an archaeologist friend who teaches about 'immigrant' food. The apples we eat now, ( crab apples are indigenous) are not even native to Britain. Wheat's an import. The Romans brought a lot of what we eat now. Bloody Italians, coming over here, with their wine and olive oil.........

And don't get me started on immigrant trees

We were too poor to have allergies 😂
Although I still can't look rhubarb in the eye 😛

I don't want british balls!! What are they?
Tripe?
Ugh
Oh dear. I'm being a food traitor
😵

We ate bread and gruel made from emmer and spelt in the Iron Age. Hipster food, so don't despair, people.

Brexiter Richard North: Grim

"As far as customs control goes, if that means food rotting in lorries as they wait for customs clearance, and queues stretching all the way to Leeds (and beyond), we will have visible evidence of the Government's incompetence, in even expecting that a deal could be made in time.

By then, though, it will be too late.
One can genuinely see a state of emergency being declared, with the Army called out to escort truck-loads of food to besieged supermarkets
– ending Tory electoral chances for a decade or more. It will be small consolation that they will only have themselves to blame."

Civil servant Blog: Rules of origin

Rules of Origin are needed to show that the UK is not being used by third countries, e.g. China, to gain low tariff access to the single market.

The post-Brexit reintroduction of Rules of Origin for UK imports and exports might cause problems, even if there is a zero-tariff agreement with the EU27.

Ooh, and fava beans were eaten before the Romans got here. No Chianti, though, just mead and ale.

Bendy bananas when we leave the EU?

No fucking chance.

Food intolerances are so much fun. Stomach pain, bloating, malabsorption, diarrhoea - but it's only when I'm bleeding per rectum that I really feel like I'm one of the elite :)

I'm telling you, we are down to turnips.

cecile I feel your pain, sadly literally. But its our pain, out elitist pain, so its ok.

Was in Parliament Square today.
Learnt that Peter Lilley has a nice second home in Normandy. Just hope that some French farmers drop some cows'dung in his back garden.
