No one thought Brexit would be like this.

Tesco are facing shortages of products including Marmite, Ben & Jerry's and Lynx after a price dispute with one of their biggest suppliers in the wake of the pound's plunging value.

The supermarket has removed dozens of items from its online store after a row with Unilever, who want Tesco to charge 10 per cent more for their products because of how weak the pound is in comparison to the euro and the dollar.

Tesco are refusing to change their prices and as a result, there's a stalemate between them and Unilever. This means that the supermarket are running low on products such as Marmite and Hellmann's mayonnaise – with no replacements incoming.

Nothing quite says 'Brits getting their country back' like restricted access to Marmite and PG Tips
