The Brexit Minister has promised to make sure there’s adequate food after Brexit – the 25 best piss-takes

The new Minister for Eventually Resigning Because Brexit Doesn’t Work, Dominic Raab, told a parliamentary committee that the government will ensure there are “adequate food supplies” in the event of a no-deal Brexit. He went on to say that the public needn’t stockpile food, as businesses will be doing this, almost certainly guaranteeing a run on canned goods, pickles and packet mash.

We’re all massively reassured, though, aren’t we?

BREAKING: Raab promises government will "make sure there is adequate food" in Britain in the event of no Brexit deal. But says it is wrong to say government itself is stockpiling.

“There will be adequate food” is bad enough as a TripAdvisor review, let alone the fate of a country.

Brexit 'adequate food': 60 million cans of alphabetti spaghetti, the contents of which only spell out the sentence "But the bus said". In Mandarin.

Pretty sure I voted for a slightly flawed status quo (the box said Remain) But cool, let’s discuss “adequate food”. I obviously wasn’t feeling adventurous enough. https://t.co/Na4vZ4pQmy

#adequatefood I am pretty sure that my idea of adequate food for the masses is vastly different to what Mrs May will consider adequate. I like to eat every day, preferably more than once.
