THE END OF THE CAP - THE SQUABBLING BEGINS

In addition to all of the super complex negotiations that the UK is going to have to undertake with the EU in the coming years, there is a reminder of another side to the work the government will be involved in.  The Telegraph covers (HERE) a story on what will replace the CAP. Already there are differences of opinion on what the subsidy regime should look like.

I can foresee years of argument while a new scheme is worked out.  There will be winners as well as losers presumably since the only other option is to keep it as it is, in which case what did Brexit achieve for the farming community who voted to leave?  My bet is that afterwards no one will be happy.
