      One Remain-voting ex-minister says: "When I go to constituency events and say I voted Remain but I would rather we were ‘all in’ or ‘all out’ everyone nods their heads and see it as entirely reasonable."

      We'll still have food, says a senior Leaver: “We won’t be able to get certain foods like bananas or tomatoes but it’s not like we won’t be able to eat. And we’ll be leaving at a time when British produce is beginning to come into season so it’s the best possible time to leave.”

          Serving minister says he would “probably agree” that more Tory MPs are beginning to consider no deal as an option, but cautioned: “It’s whether MPs as a whole would ever allow that to happen.”

          @sarahwollaston is clear: “No deal doesn’t have majority support in Parliament. “If it became the main government policy objective for Brexit then I and many colleagues would resign the party whip.”

          It's not though. I voted Remain. Everyone who voted Remain shares ABSOLUTELY NO responsibility for what Leave are doing. Quite the contrary, we're the ones who will have to fix it. Because anyone who voted Leave should never have any position of responsibility ever again after.

          The period between March and May is known in the trade as the Hungry Gap. It’s called that because we’ve exhausted the stored veg and there is little that grows to maturity. So Brexit coincides nicely when we get the bulk of fresh produce from Spain and the Netherlands.

          Absolutely correct David . Carrots, for example come from Spain during April & May . Mid - end of May onwards they are sourced from France. Home grown is not available until June/ July depending on weather .

          There’s a reason why people for whom this is a day job called maintaining the supply in a “very vulnerable” food chain supply is a national security issue. Hence me having zero time for lightweights referring to carrots.

          fresh produce is reliant on JIT. Cauliflowers for example are loaded in the afternoon in Brittany on day1 and need to be in Northern markets by 0300hrs on day 3. Any delays and the whole food chain is screwed.

          This is right. I do IT for a supermarket so I’m not an expert but I know the basics. Produce is is not stocked. It arrives in distribution depots in the evening to be in store the following morning.
