THE Brexit "blame game" from Rejoiners has been torn apart after new figures showed Britain is beating the European Union's food inflation rate - and comprehensively in some instances.

Facts4EU.Org has crunched the latest numbers for food price inflation from the EU Commission’s statistics agency and compared these to the latest official figures from the UK’s Office for National Statistics. When comparing April 2022 with April 2021, the UK has a food price inflation rate of 6.7 percent, while the average of the 27 EU member states comes in at 8.9 percent. Rejoiner claims are being destroyed as the summary reveals most of the EU27 are suffering far more pain than the UK and in some cases, their rate is three times worse.

In a further blow to them, Britain's food price inflation is below not just the Eurozone average and the EU27 average, but also below that of a staggering 20 EU member states.

Spain's is 54 percent higher at 22 percent in the year-long period, while Germany - home to the EU's largest economy - has a food inflation figure that is 27 percent higher at 8.5 percent.

Lithuania tops the list with food price inflation of 22.1 percent, followed by Bulgaria (21 percent), Latvia (17.7 percent), Hungary (17.3 percent) and Estonia Estonia (14.9 percent).

Other countries with higher food price inflation include Poland (12.3 percent), Greece (11.3 percent), Portugal (10.7 percent), the Netherlands (8.5 percent) and Austria (8.1 percent).

Who in turn are comparing stats from the EU commission statistics agency and the UK office for national statistics. Perhaps you can provide another source for food inflation figures? or provide anything?

I do not share your obsession with regard to being proved right about Brexit.
The saying 'there are lies, damned lies and statistics.' still applies.

Besides, i like to imagine the Law of unintentional consequences may throw up an opportunity nobody thought of.

£1.50. Point is, they have them in abundance so can afford to discount them. All the way from Peru. Didn’t even stop in the EU.

The EU. Who needs them?

£1.50 or £1.25 the real point is a few asparagus would have been a few pence a few years ago

Whatever the price is now, it was likely double ten years ago, asparagus was a niche veg considered 'posh' by many people, uk farmers grew very little of it and imports were limited.

Anybody with a brain can work out:

1) if you put massive trade barriers between yourself and your biggest trade partner….stuff will cost more.
If you can find any evidence otherwise, go ahead.

2) if you remove workers who pick fruit and veg and it rots in the fields….prices go up.

You lose
bye bye

You are not seriously claiming there aren't enough Eastern Europeans in England to pick the crops?
