So it's added 0.2% to food inlation. Yet we read 'The overall price of food and non-alcoholic beverages rose around 25% between January 2022 and January 2024'. Which per annum is over 12%. This is more than 60 times higher than 0.2%, proving that in the big picture, the main reasons for massive food inflation have virtually nothing to do with the EU at all.
It's not about 'needing them', it's about what is best for UK people, business and jobs, we have made it more difficult to trade with the countries who are geographically closest to us in favour of some imaginary trade deals with places thousands of miles away.
