'£200k of seafood wasted and that's just the beginning. Sorry Jeremy Hunt, Brexit has been devastating'
It's just after noon at Openshaw's New Smithfield Market and, after a typically early start, Mariella Gabbutt is finishing up for the day. But she's still got time to talk about an issue she says has 'decimated' her industry and the country.
On Friday the Chancellor Jeremy Hunt outlined his plan to get Britain back on its feet, saying Brexit would be the 'catalyst' for the country's future economic growth. In a speech in central London the Chancellor added: "Our plan for growth is necessitated, energised and made possible by Brexit. But for Mariella that vision couldn't be further from the reality of what she is seeing day in an day out. "I have seen hundreds of restaurants come and go over the years, but I've never so many closing as are now," she said.
Mariella says the firm used to import clams and oysters from France around three or four times a week, but have stopped doing so because since Brexit the cost of each delivery has gone up by more than £100. Ducks, which she buys from France and Poland, have doubled in price.
