    You’re correct that if prices in the U.K. go up, then demand in the U.K. will likely decrease. But this doesn’t necessarily lead to a fall in prices at the producer’s end. Their costs have also gone up (increased overheads for paperwork, etc).
    I can't remember, I googled before and you can see there are a number of suppliers to the UK from the EU and outside.

      I supplied pictures, I can understand why you remainers are having difficulty they included researched facts not made up bolloxs. Spain our main current supplier is 8th in the world after a number of LEDCs. One does rather wonder why they supply so many to us if we could buy them off Turkey or Egypt..
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Yes, it’s not difficult to see that there are other potential supplying countries. The question was “and cheaper”.

        Spain currently export tariff and non-tariff-barrier free. Other countries currently have tariffs and non-tariff barriers, plus the tyranny of distance in cases such as China.

        So which one(s) are cheaper?
