Jarring moment at Exeter hustings was when Sunak said Truss’s Australia free trade deal was bad for GB farmers but he wouldn’t renegotiate because it would be wrong to rip up an international treaty. Hello! Paging Mr Sunak! NI Protocol Bill is holding for you on the other line

Cabinet Office has just released short film reminding British exporters of all the bureaucracy they need to go through to sell goods to the EU. Sunak and @Jacob_Rees_Mogg can promise to slash as much legacy EU red tape as they want in UK, but this is real admin burden
Since we left the EU there have been many changes in what you need to do to move goods between Britain and the EU.

In the Mirror @REWearmouth gets it wrong again, quoting a "Labour source" saying I "nearly bankrupted Unite."
