Broken brexit britain’s new harmful import controls — scottish national party

As of the 31st of January, new import controls have been imposed on Scotland by the UK government as a result of Brexit. EU goods, spanning from flowers to fresh produce such as meat,

fruits, and vegetables, will now require extra Brexit red tape to be sold in the UK. Broken Brexit Britain’s import controls means the cost of food prices and goods are predicted to increase

again, at a time when families are already being impacted by Westminster’s cost-of-living crisis. These new import controls have already been delayed five times by the UK government because

of fears they will push up food prices. Yet, the Tories’ have pushed ahead with these new harmful import controls anyway, when many people are struggling, the cost-of-living crisis

continues to limit people’s lives, and inflation is remains high. > 📢 Seven years after Scotland rejected Brexit, the cost couldn’t > be clearer: >  > 🚨 Food prices are at a

an extra £330million a year. Westminster’s new import controls are replacing import controls that were already in place when the UK was an EU member and active in the European Single

Market, a highly valuable economic agreement for its members which Scotland and our businesses benefitted greatly from. The European Single Market offers extremely positive benefits to trade

and in goods and services for Scotland, both in business and by keeping food inflation stable. Now, Scotland is missing out on these benefits, business and families are suffering all at the

hands of a Westminster government. > 👇 @StephenFlynnSNP: “Westminster says it’s okay for bankers > to have their bonuses. >  > But for the public struggling to feed their

drive up food prices. The European Single Market remains the best choice for trade and there is no denying the tremendous global progress that has been achieved by working with other

European nations over the past three decades. Brexit serves as an example of the UK government taking a backward step, relinquishing the benefits and cooperative advantages of EU membership

and the positive impact it brings to trade, the economy and our public sectors. The costs of both Brexit and Scotland’s absence as an independent country is holding Scotland back from being

the country our people deserve. The SNP holds the key to a different future, offering hope, where Scotland can flourish on the global stage and providing the people of Scotland a pathway

back into the EU and the European Single Market. Currently, Scotland’s decision-making, international relations, public services, and economy are constrained by Westminster. Independence is

crucial for improving how Scotland functions and providing the people of Scotland and our businesses a direct route back into the EU. > 🥀 Whether Westminster is Labour or Tory, neither
