<p>Researchers at the University of Sussex have suggested the cost of food will increase by 7% next year in a no-deal scenario.</p>

<p>Food bank charity the Trussell Trust has called for a “dedicated hardship fund” to help those affected by any rise in food prices after Brexit, warning there are limits to how much they can prepare.</p>
<blockquote><p>Instead of handing out tax cuts to the richest and staking all our futures on a trade deal with Donald Trump that risks the takeover of our NHS by US corporations, the Prime Minister should rule out no-deal and concentrate on improving the lives of people struggling to get by</p></blockquote>
<p>Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson of “gambling with people’s lives” by threatening a no-deal Brexit.</p>
<p>Ahead of a visit to a food market in Scarborough on Friday, Mr Corbyn said the impact of no-deal on food prices, jobs and our manufacturing industry “will be disastrous”.</p>
<p>He added: “After nine years of austerity holding down people’s pay, with food bank use at an all-time high and with millions of people living in poverty in one of the richest countries in the world, a hike in food prices will be unaffordable for many families.</p>

<p>“Instead of handing out tax cuts to the richest and staking all our futures on a trade deal with Donald Trump that risks the takeover of our NHS by US corporations, the Prime Minister should rule out no-deal and concentrate on improving the lives of people struggling to get by.”</p>
<p>Garry Lemon, the Trussell Trust’s director of policy, external affairs and research, said: “Any form of Brexit risks increasing the cost of food and essentials, and therefore increasing need for food banks.</p>
<p>“We’re giving Brexit guidance to food banks – but there’s a limit to how much we can prepare for and mitigate its consequences.</p>
<p>“The responsibility to prevent more people being pulled into poverty lies with our government.</p>
<p>“We cannot rely on support driven by volunteers and food donations to pick up the pieces, particularly in the event of no-deal.</p>
<p>“To anchor people from poverty as Brexit unfolds, our government must ensure additional protections such as a dedicated hardship fund are in place throughout, alongside an end the five-week wait for Universal Credit payment.”</p>
