You are conflating 2 issues; Post-Brexit checks on certain foodstuffs imported from the EU are anticipated to drive those prices up, whilst tariff free lamb and beef from Australia and New Zealand will undercut UK producers of those 2 specific product lines. We are not importing Australian cheese, nor Italian or Slovenian lamb.

As before, contact the NFU and ask them, it is their quotes I am posting.

Take it up with the National Farmers Union, which does not think the deals with Australia and New Zealand hold any benefit for UK farmers: "We continue to maintain that a tariff free trade deal with Australia will jeopardise our own farming industry and will cause the demise of many, many beef and sheep farms throughout the UK."

Mosin said that there are no issues with the Aussie trade deal, UK farmers just need to keep their costs down.

It is claimed that Schofield was involved with a theatre company that McGreevey joined when he was 11, and started following McGreevey when he opened his Twitter account aged 15, although there is no evidence that Schofield did anything other than follow McGreevey, or that he responded to McGreevey's tweets aimed at him.

Depends if he deliberately tried to cover it up and persistently lied to his wife, children, colleagues, and the press about it. Also, whether the relationship started when the woman was a 15 year old girl and he was in a position of influence and control. The gender and sexuality of the 'other party' in this situation is irrelevant.

The thing about Waters is not the uniform, per se, as it is his character from The Wall more combining that imagery with his support for Putin. ( Edited post JB's response - confused as to why this merited a laughing emoji ) -
For a while my work mobile phone's predictive text would replace my name with 'Al Qaeda'. What was it trying to tell me ?

Back in the 80s we used to holiday regularly in Portpatrick in Scotland. Due to geography it was easier to watch Ulster TV than Scotiish, and the regional news had many more stories of bombings, shootings, etc than ever made the media on the mainland. -
It is the UK NFU that think the deal will adversely affect UK farmers. They ought to know. Also, these are some other opinions, ( or are they all guessing ? ); https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/uk-farmers-trade-deal-australia-b2046471.html "The UK-Australia trade deal could allow Australian farmers to flood the market with inferior products including beef and lamb, taking a heavy toll on the environment, undercutting UK farmers, and lowering animal welfare standards, the government has been warned. The zero-quota, zero-tariff deal agreed with Australia will increase UK farmers’ exposure to “unfair competition with outdated, cruel, and unsustainable farming practices the UK has already moved away from”, according to an analysis by a coalition of organisations." https://www.sustainweb.org/news/nov22-george-eustice-australia-trade-deal/ George Eustice, former Environment Secretary: "If some foreign court or foreign mediation process were to say as a matter of treaty that the UK had to accept beef from Australia treated with hormones, that could change the nature of this agreement considerably; volumes could rise significantly, perhaps to more than 200,000 tonnes over time, and that would have a very severe impact on British beef." https://www.politico.eu/article/liz-truss-uk-food-sector-australia-new-zealand-trade-deal/ "The disclosure has already sparked anger from the U.K.'s farming lobby, which has long argued the deals — held up as a key prize of Britain's freedom from the European Union — will hit its members hard, while campaigners argue it shows tighter scrutiny of those deals is needed. "It’s simply infuriating that the government ploughed on in its negotiations while, as these own government department reports show, ministers knew that British agriculture was likely to be the most impacted sector, putting at risk hundreds of millions of pounds and thousands of jobs,” said Minette Batters, president of lobby group the National Farmers' Union."

No, they will find their lowest possible price being undercut. Ultimately, most shoppers look at price over country of origin.

Think how huge their farms are, and how big their herds must be, coupled with less overheads for compliance. Bulk shipping refrigerated produce is actually quite economic.
