If only they had access to a huge diverse market of food from their neighbouring countries and beyond.

Fascists love farmers. They're gullible, have little contact with the world outside of the media they consume, have a lot of free time on their hands, and are easy to anger due to underdeveloped social skills.

Food inflation has affected both the EU and the UK, but the EU has had a few percentage points less inflation than the UK thanks to the single market helping slow it a little. But the Ukraine war and Iran war has affected everyone unfortunately.

For comparison from 2020 to 2025 it seems food inflation in the UK has been about 38% (House of Commons) while in the Eurozone it's been about 34% (FT reporting ECB stats, via Archive.is)
