"Concerns from suppliers that they could lead to higher prices for shoppers" - it's not the controls that would lead to higher prices.
The decisions that lead to higher prices were taken years ago we're just still in denial

@DimitriHoutart Thanks for your efforts and championing rural affairs - I hope a vital and important priority for the BBC - good luck with future opportunities!

Goodbye BBC!
After 21 incredible years, I ll be leaving. This has been a difficult decision, as I deeply cherish the BBC and its values. However, after a decade as the Rural Affairs Champion and overseeing an amazing portfolio of programmes, it’s the right time to move on. 1/

RE this: the case for modular housing. Rule of thumb is you need ratio of one contruction work per completed house (so a 300k workforce delivers 300k home/year). BUT if you build modular, in factories, you need about half the number of workers. (UK only has one modular factory)
Peter Foster@pmdfoster
Killer chart on construction worker shortage...via. To build 300k houses, estimated industry needs to recruit 17k more builders a year, every year, between 2023-2030. In 2016-2023 the average was 6k. Mountains to climb. makeuk.org/insights/repor…

Look forward to this week being over so that we can continue to talk about how we could improve cross-border trade with the EU without actually doing much about it.

Vet alignment, may also not remove need for checks, the single biggest concern of EU is protection of single market from ‘backdoor imports’ of foods like chlorine chicken and hormone beef - EU would want alignment + some kind of reassurance on food trade deals UK-> RoW

Labour is expected to do that, and per @jundu_econ at Aston, that could lead to a +22% uplift in food exports to EU, but even then, in context (h/t @JohnSpringford) is not gamechanging...that'd by c£2bn a year. UK goods exports to EU c£150bn. /5

Well done Abi - proud, fearless reporting getting the recognition you deserve

Just wanted to thank every single person who has sent me messages of support or responded to critics since we published THAT story. I've missed loads. Your backing & the fact that so many women & girls have shared their own experiences has kept me going amid the friendly fire.

What Brussels and Washington don't want to hear - but need to...
"The inadvertent result of rising protectionism in the US and Europe could be to drive many emerging markets into China’s hands."
You can't compete globally from behind high walls.

Theresa May was a genius campaigner next to this. Someone ask Sunak how this will apply in NI...
Robert Peston@Peston
The brave new Sunak policy, compulsory national service for all 18 year olds - what he calls “military” and “civic” - may or may not be sensible. But announcing it on day four of an election campaign, out of a clear blue sky with no prior debate, or attempt to make the case, could be seen as a little impulsive. Here is the Tory Party’s own summary: “The Conservatives are today announcing mandatory National Service for every eighteen year old – they will be able to choose between a full-time placement over 12 months in the armed forces or one weekend per month for a year volunteering in their community.”

I wondered whether I would do this, when the time came. But there don’t seem to be many tales of him as a person going round. And, for reasons that will become apparent, I’ll always be grateful. So anyway here it is:

On the money as ever @DavidHenigUK
Having just finished the latest @ShippersUnbound epic - it is so embarrassing to see the naive, superficial and unserious nature of our leadership - a fundamental inability to make real world decisions and put in the work

Time to give a bit of focus to an upcoming Brexit muddle, because all indications from both Labour and EU are that an SPS agreement is already sinking into confusion - and it is the fault of both sides. But not for the ECJ reasoning of the headline. politico.eu/article/eu-lab…

TL:DR - Labour has a long way to go to understand how to build the stronger UK-EU relationship. But so does the EU. There's a lot that needs to be reset in the relationship. That could happen after everyone's elections. But it will take quite some work.

Vet alignment would remove 90% of the friction in post-Brexit food trade - BUT - the only model that really works is UK ‘taking’ EU food rules - a pretty hard sell politically - and if agreed requires a level of cooperation and strategic delivery UK has not yet proved capable of
