British politicians have been very keen to say this isn't the fault of Brexit because a) energy costs, and b) weather issues affecting production. But those things still don't necessarily lead to shortages if retailers can rapidly move produce around or make temporary orders with different suppliers to plug the gaps, like they can on the continent. That's what Brexit has made a lot harder. So it can be "Brexit's fault" or not "Brexit's fault" depending on what side of the fence you sit on.
