Life 'hard' for Leeds couple who blame Brexit as sweet prices skyrocket

A Leeds couple say life is "hard" as the price of sweets has shot up by at least "20 per cent" during the cost of living crisis.

Karina Mihailova and Vadim Packovskij, originally from Latvia, have been running online Yummy Treats Store from their home in Belle Isle. They now have to import sweets from America due to Brexit and “70 per cent” of their outgoings are on energy alone.

The couple have one child and have lived in Leeds for 12 years. More recently, they're been taking their products to car boot sales across the city.
