Are you arguing there has been no impact at all? My understanding is that there has been a significant increase in prices since the Brexit vote, generally ascribed to the falling pound (both actual and anticipated). This is obvious in electrical goods but is also affecting the weekly shopping basket, which in turn is impacting people on low pay, or whose pay hasn’t been rising in line with inflation since the banking crash.

That said, not all price hikes are attributable to Brexit. The significant hike in butter prices is apparently more due to a supply shortage across Europe.
