The UK gets most of thier fruit and veg from Morocco, that's not part of the EU. Extreme weather has affected their crops.

And EU is fine because it gets its food from somewhere else? If this was not brexit failure, why has it never happened before in living memory. How many shortages before we realise it isn’t a coincidence?

Have you told ireland ? it's been widely reported by irish people and media in ireland aswell as the uk

Lots of ours comes from dutch indoor growers who didn't bother to grow because of the energy prices and from spain and Africa who had bad weather

Of course not.

Its Brexit again.

But the Tories don't want to admit that and their voters don't want to be reminded what fucking idiots they are.

Yes running low on cauliflower, tomato, cucumber and some other veggies here in the Netherlands. Normally we grow them in heated greenhouses in winter but this year not because of high gas prices. Import from South of Europe is also low because of cold weather there

'Shortage' of vegetables is a very relative term in the Netherlands.

I’m in Malta and apart from the rediculous price of some veg in the supermarket (€3 for a cabbage or €2-3 a head of broccoli) the shelves are full

Is it adverse weather or an impact of brexit?

Brexit.

Nearby EU nations (Ireland, Spain, Italy, and France), are not reporting any shortages.

Yes.

Vegetables grown in Europe are not being exported to the UK like they were pre-Brexit due to all the red tape and ridiculous wait times for lorries that Brexit has imposed. The UK was making up that shortfall with vegetables from places like Morocco.

The weather is impacting vegetables grown in Europe, and that gap is being filled by vegetables from places like Morocco that used to export to the UK. Because of Brexit, it's a lot easier and cheaper for those growers to export to Europe to fill their gap.

I don't know when Britain was last self sufficient in food production. The 1800s? the 1700?

I work at a supermarket, witnessing random things disappear each month and being like “ok”.
