#MELTONMOWB­RAY

The makers of Melton Mowbray pork pies have refuted the PM’S claims that its pies are sold to Thailand and Iceland but not the US. So was Boris telling porkies?

@Mattgray64 aded: “How does this clown keep finding fake trade stories for his misinforma­tion junket? His team of advisors display the same traits of incompeten­ce that we’ve come to expect from Tory government­s.”

@Teado25 tweeted: “He’s made a career out of it for 30 years! Making up headlines to further his career!”

@Jamieleeph­illip wrote: “A few days with @realdonald­trump and he’s already rubbed off on him.”

@Braintea said “Notice he didn’t mention these products losing their protected geographic­al status if we leave the EU and any cheap nasty pork pie could be sold as a Melton Mowbray.”

@JMAG 92 said: “I seen them on the shelf in Iceland, mind.”

@Alvinford said: “I can’t even buy a Melton Mowbray pork pie in a Tesco Extra store in Glasgow. They don’t sell them.”
