Jacob Rees-Mogg: "We don't need fruit pickers. If fruit can be grown more cheaply & more economically, in foreign countries, then we should import fruit.. " 😲 #WATO

Why does anyone listen to this person? Has he not heard of food security? Or does nanny just make it magically appear?

So Mogg wants to import... ... but championed leaving the largest single market and customs union in the World; thus adding redtape to imports!🤦‍♂️

Good luck trying to import fruit more cheaply after the final Brexit import rules come into effect in January

Oh, so food security isn't a thing @Jacob_Rees_Mogg? Haven't we just seen the dangers of dependence on international trade when it comes to essentials? Meanwhile, let's close down all those jobs, and all the businesses and employers. Genius.

Who needs fruit anyway? Let's all go to the chippy instead! Am I right or am I right @eastantrimmp?

So @Jacob_Rees_Mogg wants the UK to lose food security, just as we've lost energy security?

Food security is so last year.

And as we don't control imports at our borders, we'll have no control over the imported fruit's quality or safety.
