Considering the time you spend on this thread I’m astonished that less than 22 hours ago you didn’t see this story had already been posted, surely you must have some fresh material today? [emoji2357]

*edit* Within 10 minutes of a post going up, we have two Brexit supporters pointing out it's been posted the day before. Desperate to find fault ? 
I thought posting a constant stream of bad news was 'talking the country down' and why Brexit was going so badly, but here you go
Bankers talk of being sold out as London waits for its own Brexit deal with Brussels
Despite a breakthrough last month, London-based bankers are nervously waiting for Britain and Brussels to agree on a post-Brexit relationship for their financial services industries.But despite this, bankers who have spoken to CNBC feel the industry has continually been neglected throughout Brexit talks and they’re not confident the agreement changes the outlook, especially as regulatory cooperation will be voluntary and not binding on the EU.
The U.K. Treasury did not respond this specifically, but directed CNBC to its statement regarding the memorandum of understanding.
The absence of a deal meant that as of Jan. 1, U.K. central counterparties were required to have recognition by the European regulatory body to continue facilitating billions of euros of trades in over-the-counter financial derivatives for EU banks. There has been a slight reprieve in that EU banks have been given 18 months to reduce their exposure to these British clearing houses, with a time-limited permission set to expire in June 2022. Earlier this month, the U.K. regulator also renewed its commitment to allow U.K.-based banks the ability to trade these derivatives on European platforms.
But, due to the timestamp, it has put European banks with U.K. branches in an uncompetitive position and has already made a significant dent in trading volumes. IHS Markit released data in February showing that the U.K.’s share of euro swaps (a type of financial derivative) trading has fallen from 40% in July 2020 to 10% in January 2021.

Quite a bit on there about the ongoing relocation of functions and jobs from the UK into the EU as well.
Petrol bombs thrown during another night of disorder in Northern Ireland
Violence broke out on the streets of Northern Ireland again last night, despite appeals for calm. A car was set alight in Sperrin Park in the Waterside area of Londonderry, while there were also reports of violent incidents in Carrickfergus, near Belfast on Monday night. Both locations have been the scene of violence and unrest among the loyalist communities in recent days.

The 'funny' part is how easily this transparently idiotic rhetoric could win over jingoistic Brits; but essentially deeply tragic as you say....

So we're into our second quarter of the brave new world as a third country.
The Brexit collapse in exports in numerous sectors in well documented, but is there new trade to report that we didn't have before?

I can actually forgive the Government for bungling Brexit but not for the failure to have an immediate detailed plan to fix it.

Just remember 90 days only out of 180, so no pissing off when the clocks goes back and hope to return in spring...
