Ireland is being bribed again while the rest of the UK has to struggle on. We are having to pay even more for Brexit. Ireland is still part of the EU for trading purposes. They have not been hit in anywhere near the same fashion as UK businesses.
Just when you think it cannot get any worse under the Tories, they come back with the unthinkable.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
The government will pay businesses up to £50m to help with the cost of new food labels required by the Windsor Framework.
The government will offer retrospective grants at a flat rate, adjusted by business size, for firms who can show additional labelling costs.
It will be open to applications between January and March next year with the government saying “we will publish instructions setting out how businesses should apply in the coming months”.
That means GB trusted traders who are sending food for sale in Northern Ireland should face few routine checks and minimal paperwork.
Meanwhile, the government has also confirmed the extension of the Movement Assistance Scheme which helps businesses with the costs of certifications for moving food products to Northern Ireland.
These certificates will still be required in some circumstances, such as when NI wholesalers are bringing in food products which could be sold in either part of Ireland.
