I (we?) were discussing food inflation, but generalised inflation is higher in the UK - 10.4% Vs EU of 9.9%.Not a massive difference.

You said the UK, due to Brexit:

> Since the UK is out of the Eu, its not possible to access the Eu domestic supply anymore

Which is just plain not true. Deprioritised, sure, but not unable. A lot of people take the Daily Mail seriously (including other news outlets too) when they say stuff like we can't get tomatoes. It just meant I went to the other shop across the road instead.

The difference apparently is in how much the inflation affects different basket items. Like food.

> Deprioritised

Yeah, that means 'unable' when there is a shortage like how there is just now.

CNBC is not daily mail.
