"The first major free trade agreement signed by Britain after Brexit has been branded a failure after new figures showed exports had fallen since it came into force." Guardian. It's hard to tell from a simple fall in exports what impact the deal had. Maybe the fall would have been worse but for the deal. This bit of the linked report suggests otherwise: " In all cases but one, Japanese exports and imports of both goods and services with the UK performed worse than the equivalent flows with the EU or the Rest of the World" The exception is goods imports from Japan. Which is bad for balance of payments and Brexit was sold as an export creation scheme. Buuut, given that the deal was basically just the EU Japan deal with an extra bit about automotive standards and a paragraph for each of whisky and stilton, it's hard to see how the deal itself could have made much difference. I'd suggest an alternative explanation, that the Japanese trade was at least partly trade through the uk to the EU, and it's Brexit itself that has caused the damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Trade deals so far turning out to be duds, economically the country is a mess and it's not all to do with the pandemic, the westminster tories now looking to increase immigration to offset the jobs lost when foreign workers left after Brexit, the hospitality sector on its knees and ongoing strikes escalating throughout the workforce. All in all it's a fuckin shambles and all thanks to the useless tories. Then there's the fraud, anybody know how Mone 'lost' £29 million. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt n Vinegar Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 It's all going very well, isn't it? "A Scottish firm has revealed how it was forced to abandon all trade with Europe after Brexit hammered the “nail into the coffin” of its export business. Andrew Duff, who runs butchers MacDuff 1890, said it’s now easier to export to Hong Kong than it is to Europe."

KirkieRR Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I notice that the first thing Sunak was able to think of when Blackford challenged him to name Brexit benefits was 'taking control of our borders'. From a forner-hating Tory voter point of view, that really isn't going very well, is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 In a meeting about Horizon funding. The UK government is aligning to allow the funds to come in but fucking hell, what a shambles. This speaker is talking about the practicalities of what happens if a consortium you are in wins a grant. Essentially you don't count for anything. You have to write letters and fill in forms stepping back from the project, and separately the UK government *should* cover the costs of what you would have won. Massive headaches and paperwork. And always, UK partners now officially second class in EU research. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 "freer movement than ever with countries that actually speak English." There's been some amount of pish talked about Brexit but Harwood must be near the top of totally nonsensical attempts to make it a "good thing, full of benefits". What a statement that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Ah perfect, we've left the EU so we can remove the protections put in place post financial crash that would protect individual investors and hold senior financial managers accountable. Protections that the UK could have changed whether we left the EU or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
