Alastair Campbell shows off 'wrinkly apples' on GMB as proof of 'Brexit delays'

Alastair Campbell blamed the poor condition of his apples on Brexit during a bizarre exchange with Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain.

“Have a little feel of my apple. It’s wrinkly, it’s soft, it’s rubbery,” he said, discussing the issue with his co-host on Tuesday morning.

“A shortage of pickers, a shortage of drivers and a shortage of CO2, all these things we’ve been talking about, they’re now affecting our apples as well. This is a Brexit apple I would argue.”

The former Labour press secretary later blasted Boris Johnson over the fuel crisis, suggesting the PM needs to “get a grip”.
