UK supermarkets call for a EU-UK deal on plant and animal exports.

Some of Britain’s biggest supermarkets and food producers, including Marks and Spencer and J Sainsbury, have called on the EU to agree a deal with the UK government to help smooth exports of plant and animal products across the English Channel.

Prof. Chris Grey: "Arthur Daley's Brexit" - chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.c

"This is the degrading ‘sovereignty’ to which the Brexiters have consigned us: an undignified attempt to duck and dive, to wheel and deal, to fawn, bluster, plead, and flatter. The figure who best represents post-Brexit Britain isn’t Drake, or Nelson, or Churchill. It’s Arthur Daley (younger and non-UK readers may need to consult Wikipedia)."

It seems to be widely accepted at the moment that making steel in the UK is not profitable, and so the government need to step in if we decide that making steel is important to our national security.

But other countries can make steel profitably.

I've not heard #Brexit mentioned in this context, but it has got me wondering if there is a Brexit angle to all this.

Anyone know why the UK seems to be unusual in being unable to turn a profit from making steel?
