1/ Trying to take back (border) control, meaning greater rocketing prices for far less choice & empty shelves

2/ Giving up all semblance of control meaning

Very interesting story from Robert Peston on Twitter.
It sounds like Labour very deliberately engineered a series of artificial, unnecessary storms in teacups in advance of the budget.
In a follow-up tweet, he mentioned that the beginnings of an official investigation are under way.
