People whose employers don't subscribe I suppose
A Propos of nothing-our terrifically stingy Logistics employer lobbed us an extra quid per hour backdated to the first of this month.This had previously been confidently assumed by all parties to be a thing that can't happen.Hopefully this will prove to be just the down-payment with more substantial tranches to be forthcoming in the Spring

UK to delay imminent new Brexit border checks on food amid shortages
The government had said businesses should prepare for an October deadline, but legislation revealed delays for some products
I bought something from the UK on ebay a month ago. It never arrived. Tracked it only to see that an post had returned it because the customs declaration was not correct.
Seller quite communicative with lots of messages..but essentially putting the blame on an Post and brexit and customs etc.
So seller got pissed off at me for opening a case on Ebay and then after I heard nothing I opened case in paypal. Seller got very vocal telling me I shouldnt have done that so I closed paypal case but by then Ebay had closed the ebay case because the seller had made a bit of a thing about my paypal case.
So the parcel has been returned to sender by an Post. Seller says they have ot received it and quite frankly I doubt I will see any money back.
Pissed off with myself for being fucking duped.
And fuck brexit.

Earlier on the subject of food price rises, due to brexit, I said ‘prices will rise which will disproportionately effect the poor’
The second half of that statement was important no?

Looking at the trade deal with Australia its kind of amazing what the Uk has agreed. Not just that they dumped the climate goals because Australia asked them to but we are basically going to take, tariff free, as much meat as they feel like sending over here.
"Tariff elimination on this scale through a free trade agreement is almost unprecedented... Remarkably, it is not clear what UK negotiators managed to extract in reciprocal concessions."
Basically they can import as much lamb & beef to us as they want to (4 or 5 times more than the quota that existed for imports from all EU countries together) with zero tariffs.

I reckon that the best explanation is that the government know that the UK meat farming industry is not going to survive anyway (with end of Eu subsidies and Eu workers) and that's why they gave Australia this amazing deal.
It's either that or it was just desperation for any deal idk.
