- A report has found that new post-Brexit UK border checks coming into force later this month will cost British businesses £2bn and fuel higher inflation.
With less than a month before the introduction of new checks on animal and plant products from 30 April, the insurer Allianz Trade said the controls agreed under Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal could add 10% to import costs over the first year.
Callers Daniel and Encina tell James O’Brien about their experiences highlighting the impact of Brexit on the food industry.
00:17 - Caller Daniel says the latest charges will cost his company £100,000
06:03 - Caller Encina disputes the idea of growing food in the UK

An island nation, entirely dependent on imports, voting to bring back import taxes. Brilliant.
@@Bonzman I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. Any non-EU country in Europe gets extra fees for imports, to the point where A LOT of stores won't even bother shipping to those countries. Because returning them would cost them money.
@@Bonzman import taxes in single market ? don't think so
It's even better than that, it's an island nation which hates eating what they can fish. That's why they massively export their catches (mackerel, shellfish) to import cod.
@@kalamar1986 Please don't tell me I'm wrong, my wife helped set up the system, why do you think items bought in one country were priced different in another EU country. If a single market existed every tax for the whole EU should have been the same. There really is not educating some people.
@@Bonzman "Please don't tell me I'm wrong" You are wrong. You cannot even spell.
A single benefit? Europe no longer has to put up with UK.
It really is not all of the UK, only the @Faragists who managed to con 51% of the elecvtorate into voting against their best interests.
What did EU27 do with the £42,000,000+ they took out of our UK back pocket every day ...??
@@notrutDon't you mean front pocket since EU budgets needed agreement. Now that saving has cost the UK 5% of its economy so far, in what way are the EU 27 missing it?
Blue passports and a crown on pint glasses...
Hey big thinker... uk it's in europe. Europe it's a region in the world wich one you are included.
Brexit benefit... It made EU stronger.. once they saw our disaster the 'leave' parties in France .Italy and Netherlands shut up.😂
As sad as it sounds, but i have to agree.
Yeah, personally, that was the turning point for me to feel European on the same level as feeling Dutch.
it was a well orchestrated sacrifice to motivate the rest of us to get in line and do as we are told, stay strong Britain! dont let the WEF sacrifice you on their alter of popular oppinion.
Not only stronger :
You are forgetting how UK has always been the princess of the EU, complaining non stop about everything.
So of course EU is better now. Eurocracy go faster since the Brexit AND bounds are stronger since the Brexit. Almost no one is speaking about leaving any more.
Not only the Brexit but also the Covid and Ukraine.
@@Morkhard And isn't it funny how the Uk complained and the EU laughed. Only now 90% of what the UK moaned about is a big problem in the EU...China trade, Immigration, illegals, crime..Just to name a few, yeah the UK behaved like a princess according to you...Thing is THEY WERE RIGHT!!!!
One benefit was that my Mum came home.
From Spain, where she lived for the last 20 years.
After she voted to leave the EU.
And that really only benefits the Spanish (as they no longer have to put up with her racism).
Many retired british residents in Spain left, and they voted Brexit 😂.
But for every retired British that left , many British in their 30,s came to Spain because they can not afford a house in UK and they don’t like the how things are at the moment.
Lol
Naw hard to believe! Think your lying!
lol
@@okbutthenagain.9402 now try to say that in English

but they are a strong and independent island now 😂
I read a comment on another channel today that seems apropos.
"Do y'all remember, before the internet, that people thought the cause of stupidity was the lack of access to information?
Yeah. It wasn't that."
The exposure to misinformation also accompanied our expanded access to information
It's always been an unwillingness to engage with information provided. Either simply ignoring what they are given, or not engaging genuinely critically and believing whatever they want. Bit of a case of you can take a horse to water.
OMG, this is both sad and funny because it's true.
Bro it is so depressive. I remember when google became reliable, it was such a relief, you had a question, a problem, you could just google it and read some info about it.
Nowadays people are too lazy to even read 500 words, if it doesn’t fit in a tiktok video it is tldr.
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
Winston Churchill
I believe Gove had said "we've had enough of experts" and millions of voters agreed with him and voted for this sh*tshow.
All Brexit voters must be super delighted paying more for what could be cheaper in oder to keep the borders working , a new industry has been increased boder officials more jobs and more visas to Asian Countries... win win for the common people Higher prices and more take aways and curry houses !!!
@hg82 But a successful Brexit would have been disastrous for Jimbos LBC show and it's ratings. Did you think about that?😊
@chatham43 jimbos at LBC would have other topics to talk about, probably and most likely the scams during covid and the millions diverted to Conservative associates ,donors, and Lordship hey!!!
Liz Truss-"hold my beer"
Yeah there is a weird streak of anti-intellectualism in British society that the Tories like to whip up while they have benefitted greatly from their exclusive education.
I honestly can't believe how easily the public were duped into voting leave, unreal.
The power of media and politicians as celebrity.
@@Coelacanth1 Correct. And unfortunately, those who didn't have much now have even less. Well done if you voted leave.
Splendid imperial isolation without an empire.
You shouldn't really be surprised. Just look at the state of us British public and then see the state of the politicians that pushed this.
Residents in the UK were WILLING to be duped...
@Snowdonia But you weren't so you can hold your head high!
And now the people who voted for Brexit want us to Vote Reform which was formally known as Brexit party. Is there an end to their stupidity?
Short answer? No.
@prrr And yours has only just started!
@@chatham43Yours started quite a few years ago. Seek help immediately. 😂😂😂
Stupidity knows no ends! It knows nothing!
At least its not Tories all over again no?
There is one important benefit of BREXIT. It is now blindingly obvious that our Tory and Reform Party politicians have created a terrible mess. They can’t blame the EU anymore, because they persuaded us to leave it. I always knew it would end in tears.
The only thing I was surprised by is just how long it took for the wheels to come off.
Well yes, but not everyone lives in the comment section of anti-Brexit TH-cam videos.
Meanwhile in the *real* world people don't think about Brexit as it happened years ago.
Now they blame the boat people 🙄
But they are still blaming the EU.. 😆 he nasty EU are getting their revenge you know 😏
They can not blame the EU anymore for their shortcoming. Eu was the black sheep responsible of all evils, undemocratic, unconcerned, bureaucratic, slaggish on immigration and located far away in Brussels. UK has become a sovereign fool conducted by unscrupulous and irresponsible politicians who fiddled with the British patriotic string. Disgusting and the unthinkable is that they will not be held responsible for the misery inflicted on the country. Wake up Britain !
My Brexit benefit was I left Britain for France 7 years ago and will never return to live on that miserable island.
I envy you, and my only hope to escape this is when Scotland vote to leave this enforced union, and next time there will be no threat of EU expulsion to use as a weapon against the leave vote.
Same, but 8 years and Spain.
I still go back for one week per year due to aging family, and it's getting uncanny there - the people there think they're living, no wonder they hate everyone.
Very minor benefit but on Stena line you can get 2 liters of Gin for €25 duty free.
@@Silverfirefly1 How very caring of you to pop back just for one week a year to see aging family ?
@@geoffw8565 Is this sarcasm? It appears to end in a question. What would you like to know?
"The last time I checked there were no oranges growing in Manchester." 😂❤
With the way the climate is going, by the time Brexit makes sense to me, they could be grown there. (joking, it will never make sense to me)
James was fast on that reply about agricultural workers, which is closely related to the real reason Brexit got passed.
Rising prices on a variety of fresh food, in particular fruits, leads to a decline in a healthy diet for anyone that can't afford to go to farmers markets or the equivalent of Whole Foods. The logical progression from that is further strain on healthcare.
There would have been a significant number of Brextiteers in that category, yet voted against there own best interest and are now blaming everyone but themselves.
maybe thing will shift so it a back to only eat whats domestically farmed? But think if the UK is cut off from imports there is about 1 week of food on the island.
As a mancunian i can say they are pretty thin on the ground😂
Even eggs for the English breakfast were coming from EU countries.
I didn't support Brexit during the referendum but now that it's happened I'm actually quite happy with the results. The British public deserve this, just like they deserve the consequences of voting for the Tories for 15 years on the trot.
Scotland never...time for Scotland to leave England to their bankrupt councils sewage pouring in to England's rivers and seas to collapsing schools and hospitals with raac
I enjoy the tears of the farmers and fishermen while listening to the gammons crying about pesky immigrants. I do note however the desire to get our democracy back has ended as we all watch the little democracy we had being dismantled. Seems like I got over it, they won and still have not.

They are still publishing gammon baiting articles, just yesterday a big headline "Britain is worlds fourth biggest exporter", and it predictably sent the brexiters into their usual "winning" dross, clearly not a single one of them actually read or researched the claims. As per usual

The single benefit is easy. It meant that the very rich in the uk did not have to disclose off shore earnings or accounts. It is also the only reason it was forced on to the uk
Yes, very true and the REAL reason for this mess!
Sounds plausible, but I haven't looked into this yet myself.
They weren't forced, they voted for it.
@@devilselbow no. Forced. When Russian money and a Press that is not free pushes it then it forces the vote against the way it would have gone if reality and truth were debated.
@@devilselbow who's 'they'? The majority of the citizens of the UK (who were at the time also citizens of the EU) did NOT vote for it, and those who did had no idea what they were voting for as 'leave' was not defined in any meaningful way (as compared to the Scottish independence referendum, where there was a 900+ page document detailing exactly what was going to happen re laws, taxes, health service, etc) They were fed lies and manipulated - which I guess you could argue is not 'forcing' them, but they clearly didn't have the ability to make a reasoned choice based on the facts.
“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”
― Mark Twain
The whole premise of Brexit was basically based on " Keep that lot out of the country" with no thought as to what would happen to the economy. I heard so many say "Nothing will change"..."We are the UK we do not need the EU or anyone else"... "we can manufacture and grow our own"...it was crazy.
More evil , you were feasting on the coveted demise of all Others but your micro bubble.
What is actually mind boggling is that they succeeded in making people believe that. I guess many people in the U.K. still think they're at the center of the universe.
that's what happens when the population is not taught that you don't have an empre anymore.
@@SuperDirk1965fun fact: 10% of Americans believe that earth is in fact, flat. People, generally are not very smart.
"they are stealing our jobs" they said. Now you have illegal immigrants that do nothing.
I live in Germany and used to buy a lot of things from the UK. Now i rarely do because its just a huge hassle and sometimes items get stuck in customs for weeks and weeks
Yup, same here. It's extremely annoying
well who caused that then? Wouldn't happen to be EU policies that are holding them up as punishment would it?
@@warpedweft9004 lol as punishment? You dont have any idea how international trade, customs, tariffs, etc works do you? Which is why you probably voted for brexit.
@@DeepFriedDave wrong, on all counts. If something is stuck in customs, its due to the policies and tax systems of the country that owns the systems. You just don't want to see the reality. The EU is upset because the UK left, they refused all attempts at making trade agreements and now they are making it very difficult for anyone in the EU to trade with the UK. In other words, they continue to be bullies. I think you're the one who can't see, because you're part of the EU. I am neither British nor European, do not live in an EU copuntry or UK, nor did I have a vote. I have no particular axe to grind so I can see it how it really is without any prejudice. Clearly you can't.
@@DeepFriedDave In conclusion. Yes they don't know how international trade, customs and tariffs work. What an incredible entitled and distorted worldview.
As 🇵🇱pole that use to live in UK before brexit, i need to thanks British people for this decision, in other hands I would never came back and admire Poland more than uk.
Poland is a great country as well - greetings from Germany Neighbour.
I was in London a few weeks ago and it feld a little sad that those people don‘t believe in the european vision anymore.
But thats as it is. Hope every european vountry will find its peace however.
Poland is q great country for sure👍👍👍
There are many benefits to brexit but all of them are for the EU with the main one being that the EU no longer has to put up with the continually and unendingly whining,complaining and obstructive UK or rather England anymore
Not so:

Took it up with Amazon that if I knew they were coming from the UK wouldn´t have ordered them in the first place. Full refund so no problem at my end, but someone in the UK suffered the cost of shipping them and then getting them back vs the gain of actually selling them. Just another micro example of Brexit goodness.
Same for me, whenever I accidentally order something from UK I have to go to tax and customs, because there is something not taxed correctly. I started sending the stuff from UK back because of it. I am sorry, I avoid buying from UK now and most people I know too.

The people, the culture, their sense of humor, their music….. it pains me so much that they left the EU and to see how their economy is now hurting… as an island nation they had access to the greatest market to trade with. .. during the Brexit campaign they were lied to by populist politicians, more importantly they were told they had nothing in common with the other EU countries … well, we did have something fundamental in common ….. we all stand for democratic values and open societies. I realize Brussels is far from perfect and needs to change… but what a loss Brexit has been… my best wishes to the British people!

Farage
That would take responsibility and accountability from those that voted for it. One person suggested and promoted something very bad .. but millions were convinced it was a great idea - and even MORE millions were willing to vote for a government that would go for the hardest Brexit with absolutely no plan.
When it comes to "who is responsible", i am afraid - it is almost every 2nd person in your country as just a little less than half of you people voted Tory in 2019 - the kind of point of no return.Had you voted Labour, you might at least have mitigated the worst of it - even if Labour had not been willing to reverse the ADVISORY referendum.
Uncle Nigel farage
Farage obviously and Cameron
The sheer madness of this, expressed in these two sentences from a Guardian article quote:
"Joël Reland, a research associate at UK in a Changing Europe, said: “The UK is living next door to a regulatory behemoth, which it cannot afford to ignore. Even after Brexit, the EU remains the UK’s chief export market, so British businesses have little choice but to conform with new EU regulations.
“The main difference is that now the UK government has no means of influencing EU policy decisions from the inside.”
First point, the idea of being free of EU regulations is proven to be a nonsense.
Second point is the gun shooting the other foot. Not only will businesses be forced to meet EU policy decisions for exports into the EU and imports from the EU, the UK no longer has any say in these matters.
That is precisely what I am preaching for years.
@matthew....so you're the one keeping it afloat?😊
I remember th Norwegian Prime Minister pointing out exactly this before Brexit. It's not like it came as a surprise.
But they said they would sell outside of the EU, because Europe wasn't the only market... Sorry just remembering the BS I read during those years SMH
From outside the UK it was making the appearance as if your government was often very quick at pointing fingers towards the EU for self induced problems. It was heartbreaking to see so many people on your streets being for the brexit. It feels like we lost a dear family member and that’s really sad.
however at least now we can enjoy looking at them paying the price everyone told will have to be paid
as someone in the EU, a great benefit has been fewer loud, obnoxious, & destructive tourists.
The company my husband works for in Denmark has stopped business with the UK post Brexit. The administration costed 2 full-time jobs. It wasn't worth the hassle or extensive time it took. The exception to it is if the UK company does all the administration themselves. Otherwise it's too expensive.
@@massivehero4871 Nonsense. Brexit Britain is the only G7 country where living standards are below pre-pandemic levels. On a GDP PPP basis the UK is now below the EU average although inflation is well above the EU average. If you look closely at immigration figures there is a net outflow of people from the EU which is telling you Brexit Britain is on the way down. The immigrants going to the UK are from very poor countries like India/Pakistan/Nigeria and they bring in more dependants as birth rates in these countries are far higher than countries like Poland. This is why there are more immigrants in the UK than ever before. Taxes are at record high in the Uk and the health system has collapsed. The Finacial Services thankfully for the Ul are still very strong in London which voted to remain.
@massivehero4871 Wasn't Brexit supposed to reduce immigration? Funny how it's soared upwards isn't it? Time to reckon with the truth that you were lied to and were incredibly gullible in believing obvious lies.

As an Irish man I am utterly bewildered at what is going on in England: why aren’t people screaming for politicians to reverse course?! Even when the house is burning down around them, everyone - even Labour - are saying they’ll somehow (how???) muddle through Brexit even though it’s now an obvious disaster. Why is there still no move to reverse it? I can’t understand why people are putting up with this nonsense. What’s going on?
You can't just reverse it at this stage. The UK has left the EU, they'd have to rejoin it somehow. There's no way that's going to happen anytime soon, that's decades away at best, and they'd rejoin without the special perks they had before, making it a harder sell to the public.
What they could do is a special treaty like Norway or Switzerland, but that was already on the table during the exit negotiations and the UK said no to that. They didn't want to be rule takers.
I just don't see any way this could be undone. The UK has made its bed, it'll have to sleep in it for the time being.
I'm agree with @keadinmode2070. Even if the people rammed the politicians to reverse the brexit, the europe wont allow it. Like an ex who divorced, expecting a brighter future without see the overall benefits, but now want to return.
I don't think Brussels want to negotiate with UK to re-enter the EU any time soon since they are most likely fed up with the incompetence of British politics.
So somebody on TH-cam feeds mentioned that since we left the EU we are worse off now since the end of the 2nd World War and this person said that we are better off since post-Brexit and I disagreed with them. They tried to be smart and came back with an answer and I said it wouldn't matter what analytical data and figures I gave you, it wouldn't change your perspective on Brexit and you know that and so do I. This person was a Brexiter and fro. The way he spoke will likely vote for Reform UK in the General Election. There was no getting through to this person regardless of what I said and I wasn't going to waste my time talking to somebody who is adamant that Brexit has made a difference to the UK when it hasn't. Not a single part of Brexit has benefitted anybody in the UK and anybody who believes that it has is an idiot.
Some rich people got richer.
And water companies were allowed to poison UK waters with sewage.

Oh, we have become the 4th largest exporter in the World - moving up from 7th. I thought post Brexit no one was going to buy anything from us?

"The UK government came along and did something that adds millions to your costs"... NO, it was the UK electors who did it. And now they have a taste of the medicine they decided to take.
No. This is not accurate. The referendum you are (presumably) referring to was an advisory referendum, with no legal weight behind it. The government were under no obligation to do this. They actively chose not only to implement it, but to implement an unnecessarily extreme version of it.

I voted Remain but I personally have my own benefit of Brexit.
I work as Cabin Crew for a low cost airline, and part of my pay is commission from onboard sales. Pre-Brexit, we could only sell duty free spirits and cigarettes/tobacco on flights outside the EU (Switzerland, Turkey, Egypt and the Carnaries), which worked out at 1 day every 2 or 3 months for myself.
Post Brexit, we can sell these products on all flights outside the UK. So pretty much every work day, all day.
My pay has now soared by up to £500 a month, post Brexit. And our customers save hundreds on these products coming to and from Spain, for example.
Ironically, the UK treasury is missing out on a huge amount with this - but the airline, our customers and the crew are financially benefiting vastly.
They let you sell cigarettes on the flight itself?
I assume it's still not allowed to smoke onboard the plane
Yes, we sell cheap cigarettes and tobacco on the flights. In fact we’re encouraged to sell as much as we can to maximise revenue and our pay.
And you’re right, no smoking onboard, it’s for use when the passengers leave the airport.
One benefit of Brexit is that TH-cam channels can make loads of videos about it's failure.
@robinhood And that all those idiots who voted Brexit will never return to Labour!
And loads of money.
Brussels expansionists keep using the made up word "Brexit" which is a term that represents a pathway to UK independence. Are you saying that independence for any country is a mistake?

If only Brexit just effected those who voted for it. They'd soon change their minds. The only thing I've disagreed with James about this whole time is the question of whether those who voted for Brexit are to blame for the inevitable consequences. Personally I have absolutely no sympathy at all for anyone who voted for Brexit. I would never class myself as the cleverest person out there. I have average intelligence. But I objectively sought out the truth of what Brexit meant. People who voted for Brexit sought only anything that backed up their faux-patriotic (actually nationalistic) view of the UK. The "they need us more than we need them" arrogance. The "we can tell them what to do", when talking about signing free trade deals. The craziness of the "taking control of our borders" rhetoric. When the very obvious point about any border is that it's two-way and therefore one nation can never be solely in control of it. Brexit was delusional, arrogant and egotistical. It came from a superiority complex we've had since we had an empire.
The simple fact about Ress-Mogg, Johnson, Truss and Farage is that they don't care about you. Wake up and accept that and you'll be able to see the truth. Don't and you'll vote Reform and be in the same delusional situation in 1,2,3, 5, 10 years time
