Christmas pudding price hike partly blamed on Brexit

A rise in the cost of basic ingredients will see the price of a Christmas pudding increase by 21%, according to analysts. The costs of other Christmas staples have so far remained broadly stable but experts have warned that prices could rise as the festive season approaches. Flour used in the UK, 15% of which is imported according to the Flour Advisory Bureau, has been made 19% more expensive by higher quality wheat crops.
