"The plummeting pound is threatening UK households’ supplies of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Marmite spread, as Tesco, the country’s biggest supermarket, pulled dozens of products from sale online in a row over who should bear the cost of the weakening currency.

Unilever has demanded steep price increases to offset the higher cost of imported commodities, which are priced in euros and dollars, according to executives at multiple supermarket groups.

But Tesco signalled it would fight the rises, removing Unilever products from its website and warning that some of the items could disappear from shelves if the dispute dragged on. Other supermarkets have warned that they could follow suit."

Cameron tried to scare us, Osborne wanted to punish us, Obama tried to blackmail us.

Your scare tactics pale into insignificance.

Apart from which, I'm sure more basic foodstuffs will be better for the Nations health.

What a strange post.

Lets suppose oil is priced at $50 on the world market.

Let's suppose the value of the pound drops by 20%.

What do you suppose will happen to the price of oil, in pounds, in the UK?

The same happens with the cost of grain, sugar, wine and steel.

Why is it a strange post, we all knew this was going to happen. Tesco refusing to pay the higher prices is just what they do to the farmers, and all their other suppliers.
 
I always thought Marmite was made in Burton upon Trent? (a side product of the brewing industry) ??

Another one that thinks we can revert back to the days of Imperialist Britain. Hoorah for Brexit and all the misery that it brings.
Ration cards anyone?
 
Do Tescos sell Walls Ice Cream ? If they do better remind them that Walls is also a Unilever company.

No they don't. If you go to tesco website and type in Unilever, none of their products are for sale.

(Those trade agreements with Australia may come in handy after all!) :)
