More bad news, I'm afraid

Brexit: UK to EU exports collapse by 40 per cent following end of transition period

The value of UK exports to the European Union plummeted by £5.6bn after the Brexit transition period ended, in the sharpest drop since records began.

Total exports of goods fell by £5.3bn, or 19.3 per cent, from December 2020 to January 2021. The fall was mainly driven by a 40.7 per cent drop in exports to the EU.According to data from the Office for National Statistics, published this morning, imports of goods fell by £8.9bn in the first month of the year, driven by a £6.6bn, or 28.8 per cent, decline in EU imports to the UK. The drop recorded in both imports and exports were the largest monthly falls since records began in January 1997.

But the moment I see some good news that is actually as a result of Brexit I'll get it posted here, just like I did with the sanitary product tax

My Blue British passport is in the post if that helps with positivity

Thay all suffer from onformation bias combined with very selective memories
Most spent years predicting no deal armaggedon, some even wanted it to happen ...

Meanwhile the Brexiters would presumably be denying the iceberg was a problem, that crashing into the iceberg was "the will of the passengers" and claiming we'd all soon be enjoying the sunlit uplands of New York.

Running the engines at full speed was decided by a democratic vote

Iceberg warnings was project fear

That's another no comment from you. He's just counting again, facts..

Why do you bother posting on this thread when you refuse to engage in the subject?

Temporary as in the 50 year timescale for success as identified by Jacob Rees-Mogg?

Because on the rare occasion he engages, he simply shows up his complete lack of understanding of any aspect of Brexit It's less embarrassing for everyone this way.

Evening Standard Comment: Brexit has led to depressing – and inevitable – trade chaos

January’s trade figures make for depressing reading. UK goods exports to the EU fell by 41 per cent, according to the Office for National Statistics. While some of this can be attributed to temporary factors, such as teething problems, the pandemic and pre-Brexit stockpiling, trade friction is the inevitable consequence of Brexit, something this paper reported on extensively throughout January.

The issue with Brexit is not simply day one snags or queues at Dover — it is that, in the long run, the UK will be permanently and unnecessarily poorer.

Nothing like trade sanctions on industries that were actually weathering the pandemic OK.

Meanwhile, we're still waiting on NSC Leave collective to launch the Victims of Brexit fund.

Lots of waffle from the Brexiteers. Have any had the courage to list the positives and negatives of their Brexit dream, or are the skins still too thin?

 

[nicko31]

List of victims in need help. Please give generously (especially Brexiters enjoying the Brexit boom)

I get the impression they're far more excited about the number of immigrants in Folkestone and inoculations in Frankfurt to try and bother to do that.

Seems the Dutch really are stealing our lunch and I'm not talking a few M&S Ham sandwiches.

Still Suriname and Ghana FTA's should plug the gap
