TalkTV host shuts down reporter after he links food shortages to Brexit

"In Ukraine where I am now, it’s easier to get tomatoes than it is in London…", Caolan Robertson told him.

A TalkTV presenter hilariously tried to shut down a journalist after he blamed Brexit and government ineptitude for the current food shortages.

Tesco has followed Aldi, Asda and Morrisons in introducing customer limits on certain fresh produce as shortages leave supermarket shelves bare.

The UK’s biggest supermarket has introduced a temporary buying limit of three items per customer on tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers as a precautionary measure.

The supermarket said it was working hard with its suppliers to ensure a good supply of vegetables for customers in light of temporary supply challenges on some lines due to adverse weather conditions abroad.

Aldi has placed limits on peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes as retailers warned the shortages – although expected to be temporary – were likely to last weeks.

A number of people have taken to social media to share pictures of well-stocked shelves in Europe.

Well France is getting plenty of local, Spanish and Moroccan tomatoes.

Beautiful choice too… Free marketeers love choice. pic.twitter.com/SyqC95Kb4V

One Eurostar staff member posted a video from a supermarket encouraging Brits to take a two-hour trip from London to stock up on supplies.

Good afternoon from Tomatoland! Just over 2 hours by train from London. Need to stock up? Jump on a eurostar… pic.twitter.com/gVu9XLCCSp

But this meltdown on TalkTV has to be the clincher!

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
