The debacle over soy sauce is just so depressing, the Government are just so desperate to paint something as a win there prepared to just make stuff up and when questioned, they just double down on it.

And not just on Brexit unfortunately :(
You can use fiction to win an election (oven ready Brexit!) which is bad enough, but now there is a frigging pandemic ongoing too.
Useless and annoying as SF/DUP often are, on Coronavirus they actually do make decisions together and have no problems paying school meals during the extra school closures because they are at least realistic enough to know Covid doesn't care about your political fiction.

Meanwhile the ministry of trade has outdone its "Innovative Jams" tweet from years ago with "Soy Sauce will be cheaper after Brexit"
Nope it's 0% import now and 0% import after due to the UK Japan deal (which benefits Japan more)
Except it will have to come from Wales (not if you are in NI potentially) or Japan (more expensive) because Kikkoman is brewed in The Netherlands. (So I guess in NI we get that one then? Who knows?)
