Michael Gove this morning revealed to the National Farmers’ Union that the UK would apply rate tariffs on food imports after Brexit, heightening fears that high tariffs on beef and lamb imposed after the UK’s departure could wipe out farmers reliant on exports to the EU.
Commenting, Best for Britain supporter Tim Farron MP said:
“Michael Gove has just let the cat out of the bag. It’s clear that, with Brexit fast-approaching, the myriad of fanciful promises made to sectors like farming are disappearing into thin air.
“Farmers now face being put out of business by Brexit. These revelations are like a slap in the face.”
