At last UK farmers can sell their top quality fruit and vegetables to the rest of the world.

Not without trade agreements that may take years to negotiate.

Also, UK farmers get over half their income from EU subsidies. So many of them are going to go bankrupt unless they get bailed out/supported by the government.

Sorry, I thought my sarcasm was evident. To anyone who's tasted UK-grown fruit and veg, it must be.
Its a Tory government, of course they will be supported. Green wellies &c.

Manufacturing not so much.

There is nobody left to pick it. We are about to throw out ask the Romanians and Bulgarians who do that hard graft, because no Brit will do the hard work for little money.
