Food industry seeks no-deal Brexit competition waiver

Should food industry rivals be able to work together without fear of prosecution in order to maintain supplies in The Event of a no-deal Brexit? The Food and Drink Federation says it has been.

" As one leading retail boss tells the BBC: "At the extreme, people Like Me and people from government will have to decide where lorries go to keep food supply chain going. . we'd have to work with competitors, and the government would have to suspend competition laws".

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has not commented to the BBC, which throughout Wednesday is exploring exactly what might happen in The Event of a no-deal scenario.

The Real cost of buying cheap clothes

By Dharshini David , economics correspondent, BBC News

A quick trawl around The High street reveals dresses aplenty for under a tenner, and you can get a bikini for as little as £1. Globalisation means things can be produced in far-off lands at low cost, meaning more choice and lower prices. But how is that even possible? And what of the environmental cost of our shopping habits?

The Relationship between shopper and fashion industry may have become dysfunctional. A BBC Radio 4 investigation for the Today programme took us from Spain to Ethiopia as we examined whether The Planet , and some of its poorest inhabitants, are footing The Bill for our unquenchable thirst for fashion - and how we should tackle that.
