Go to Morrisons, they have eggs as they pay their suppliers properly. The ones with no eggs are the ones trying to screw the farmers even though they’ve already added their own price increases.
It wouldn’t surprise me if other industries are watching this and thinking of doing something similar. Beef and dairy are facing a similar issue, even potatoes have shot up in price to produce but with none of the costs passed onto consumers. If I were in either industry, I would be watching this closely and weighing up my options, otherwise a lot of farms are risking bankruptcy.
personally i think we should stop throwing baby chicks into macerators / gassing them to death.
I’d bet my left bollock there is no shortage but rather supermarkets trying to stiff farmers by undercutting them and farmers wanting more money for their produce.
No issues in Northern Ireland, Shelves are fully stocked. Funny that.
£1.20 for half a dozen from my local farm, no issue with a shortage.
Might be an issue for the supermarkets lowballing the suppliers though, But we cant label the headlines as that can we?
Farm shops have plenty for those that don’t live in a concrete jungle. Screw the big retailers that are refusing to up their pay to the suppliers, yet continue to hit us in the pocket whilst posting profits totalling billions
We need a government that will step in and act on this sort of stuff.
Supermarkets have dramatically increased their prices but have refused to pay farmers more for the eggs.
If they are forced to pay the farmers more money for the eggs, they’ll increase the prices again.
We need supermarket good price controls to curb inflation, not wage suppression.

Wait a minute, didn’t the government say just last week that there weren’t any supply problems with eggs?! Another Tory lie.
I’ll have to start throwing bricks at my neighbour’s window instead.
There is no shortage:

Has Edwina Currie been asked for her views?
