Let me break this down: It’s only been a few years since Britons voted to leave the European Union, and now we're seeing the government try to sneak back into the fold. Business Secretary Peter Kyle is pushing new deals with Brussels that are making some very angry.

The official line from Mr. Kyle's office? “We’re doing this for the British people.” Bullshit. We all know better than that. The real reason they want these deals is because they can't handle the economic pain of going it alone, and they're scared to admit it to their constituents.

Take a look at the figures. They keep revising them downwards every week, but nobody is going to tell you this on CNN or Sky News. The real figure – the one buried in the footnotes – shows just how much we rely on those EU connections still.

The problem here isn’t just Peter Kyle; it’s an entire system that’s built up over decades of trading with our neighbors across the channel. Now, suddenly, they want to be independent and self-sufficient. Nice try guys, but you’re not fooling anyone.

So what does this mean for your grocery bill? More expensive imports from Europe as we start to impose tariffs on each other. It means higher prices in general unless the government is willing to stand up against these trade deals.

The truth is, the only people who benefit from maintaining close ties with the EU are big business and those politicians who have their ear. The rest of us? We’re getting left behind again.
