This is a really good summary. It explains both why the brexitist can defend brexit even though we all know everything is failing and why everything is just a bit more rubbish than it used to be. Gradual though it is it's clear we have regressed as a countryMy wife runs a business making soup.
Is Brexit a *major* factor in the current shortages in the UK?
No.
Is it a factor?
Yes.
Simply put, Brexit makes every problem we face when it comes to food production in this country worse to some degree. There has been literally no upside to Brexit (sunlit or not) for her business. The impact on any one factor is usually quite minor but add them all up and it's like sand in the gears; nothing works as well as it used to and there's always a risk of something grinding to a halt.
