In a month's time #Brexit related border checks on #food & other goods will come into force (finally), adding costs to food imports & (whatever the BoE's story about #inflation being wage-driven), renew inflationary pressures on household budgets.
So, the Q. is, if there is going to be a spring #election, will we see these checks once again postponed?
It unlikely that the #Tories would want the negative impact of Brexit to very directly hit people's immediate spending as they're campaigning
