There are big opportunities for U.K. business in import substitution. Let’s cut the food miles by growing more at home. We need to increase the amount of U.K. value added in manufactures by making more components here, simplifying supply chains and creating more jobs.

I wonder why we haven't done that before now.

Could it be that it couldn't be done, or that it couldn't be done cost effectively ?

Another Brexit "benefit", higher consumer prices.
