"It comes amid a shortage of fruit and veg pickers due to the Covid crisis and Brexit woes."

This a feature, not a bug. The point of Brexit was to crush the bones of globalists who think it's acceptable to run society on the backs of a quasi-slave class that can't afford a decent life for themselves no matter how hard their work. This whole article is a bunch of hand-wringing because people doing hard, unpleasant work that (unlike most white collar work) ACTUALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE are finally getting paid well for it. The horror!

Regardless this is the Sun, and probably all of this is a flash in the pan and the UK will return to slave wages soon. Be nice if it didn't though.

That’s great for the short term but wait till prices explode in the local market and that’s not even considering the reduced opportunities for talent from other parts of the world. It’s a global world, it’s silly to run away from it at this point.
