but what the nephew would say the likes of the national farmers union and other farmers , i told unionabout to farmers mark. i talked about to farmers in much every weekend in pretty much every weekend when market in my local when i catch market in my local town. farmers are saying that supermom kids are squeezing them more and more. so the supermarkets trying to maintain their margins even though the actual basic of food has gone up and we marks spencer the food minister meeting the supermarket bosses of course yesterday often said the and if you say was sleepwalking into this food supply crisis. but i mean the other aspect is that it explains why many of the unions are taking industrial action when they're trying to get their members on a pay rise to cope with these increased costs. now it's interesting that on the bigger picture, we've got the ifs institute fiscal studies they've identified this figure that the government's found 30 billion down the back of the so far at least they to borrow 30 billion less than they would otherwise have. they have borrow and therefore saying, well,

there is nothing there , you have to make do with canned vegetables, the head of the national union of farmers that food shortages could drag on for weeks or even months domestic production at a forty-year low the situation is compounded by bad weather and crop failures in countries from which britain traditionally imports fruits and vegetables, in the winter of morocco and spain no one wants to lose money. all farmers in britain are reducing their crops. and products for various reasons. however, the uk is still overcoming the main problem of brexit after leaving the eu, but the results of the pandemic, the lack of workers, the disruption of supply chains and, of course, the effect of sanctions against the backdrop of high inflation, however, except for brexit. all of the above applies to europe, which meets the sowing season in the spring with limited access to fertilizers, a shortage of water resources and forecasts for a new dry summer tatyana volkova around the planet. in our project, all roads lead to the balis. the second road that passes, of course, also went along it. what are in our

the head of a speech this is at the national farmers union, they added a few conference and birminghamroduce. well, let's speak to environment, food and to shadow environment, food and rural affairs secretary jim mcmahon who us this mcmahon, who joins us this morning. i'm so interesting to see what labour comes out to talking us about. in the last few weeks, we've had the party of law and order. we've had them trying to be the party of business. labour's not trying to be party of agriculture. be the party of agriculture. that's new one on me . but the that's a new one on me. but the connection with all that , of connection with all that, of course, is that we are the party of business, we are the party of law and order , and that speaks law and order, and that speaks right to the farm and farmers, our businesses and their businesses are struggling at the moment to have a government who don't have a long term plan for our food security . and that our food security. and that means every month they're means that every month they're faced impostor type faced with sick impostor type politic
