Sadly, it seems to be a standard Brexiteer response to any

More lies. There are no "usual tariffs and duties". Only the ones
we *choose* to apply.

Go on, then. Give us some real world examples.

What happened with marmite that shot up in price as brexit was
announced.

You actually think that was due to a tariff or duty? Would that be
because we'd already left the EU?

Why did they increase the cost of marmite at that time ?

because the pound had fallen inv alue following the Brexit result. The
imported content of many of their products cost more.


What imported content ?

Marmite, which was invented by a German scientist called Justus von Liebig in the late 19th century, has been produced in Burton since 1902. The towns beer heritage is important: the basic ingredient of the spread is yeast sludge, a waste product left over from brewing beer, and there were once 30 breweries in the surrounding area. Now, the raw materials come from across the UK.




What was the reason they stated ?

see above

Everything was from the UK including the water.

However, after both companies share prices fell on Thursday and Unilever was criticised for blaming the attempt to increase prices on the fall in the value of the pound, a deal was reached late in the afternoon.

Some are eaily fooled into beliving anything aren't they.
