    I still remember Johnson and Gove side by side when the Referendum result was announced. They were in total shock, like naughty schoolboys, their faces saying “What have we done “ ?
    Well they have certainly done it.
    They have reversed 50 years of steady progress and the U.K. is already the sick man of Europe, rapidly returning to a bankrupt economy.

      They were out for themselves without it seems any real care for the country. It's a lack of integrity on a mass scale, arrogant incompetence and a type of professionalism based on benefiting a tiny group of people. Naughtier is the wrong adjective. Nasty selfishness is more accurate!! They love to think of themselves as ruthless hardmen, but cocks who care nothing for the poor, middle classes, public servants, migrants and any form of opposition is a more accurate description of who Johnson and Gove are. Nihilistic narcissists!!!

    I'm a Malaysian working in Singapore. Both countries are in the Commonwealth and have millions of investment in the UK, but most if not all of them were prior to Brexit. This was due to the familiarity of the language, laws, culture and many more due to being former colonies of the British. In short, we were used to the British and found it easier to invest in the UK because of that, and as a gateway into the EU. Post-Brexit, businesses here are concentrating on investments in the EU directly, and bypassing the UK, despite the different legal systems and languages. Oh, and Malaysia and Singapore are part of ASEAN (Association of South-East Asia Nations), which aspires to integrate their economies, following in the footsteps of the EU.
    Almost everybody here that I talked to about Brexit thought that it was financial and business suicide. And most if not all, put it down to the UK harking back to the days of the British Empire. It wasn't helped by the fact that many Brexiter politicians and businessmen thought that the Commonwealth and World would gladly trade with the UK on an individual basis. Why should they, and what advantage is there to trading with the UK when it is not a gateway into the EU? Business is business, and it would always look at the bottom line. Brexiters seemed to have forgotten that, or totally ignored it altogether.

      I'm on the other side of the pacific in Canada and we have a trade deal with the EU (CETA). When the UK left the EU, we just rolled over 98% of the CETA deal to the CA-UK TCA. I'm not sure what the UK thinks it can get in a new trade deal, but the Japan deal shown it wasn't able to get better terms than what they had as part of the EU. Not sure what negotiating leverage the UK has as CA is in NAFTA.

    This is the best example of not answering the questions post ever: exports into the EU have come to a halt post Brexit, innovative internatonally operating UK-based companies habe felt this first, EU workers have virtually stopped filling low-pay jobs, particularly in agriculture and the hospitality businesses. There aren't enough carers and nurses. The 1.2 mn job openings could bring full-time employment for roughly 0.5 mn people. These jobs therefore don't offer enough income to make a living of, and the non-working people don't meet the qualification criteria for these openings or aren't mobile enough. The economy has shrunk due to Brexit although Covid-19 has covered this up and has had an effect on the economy, too. The costs of living have risen so much that the poverty which before had been visible only to those who wanted to see it is now hitting the middle-classes, too. In fact, everyday lives have become so much affected by Brexit, Covid-19 as well as the war in Ukraine. So much so that Slovakia and Poland (of all places!!!) will soon overtake the UK in wealth of the ordinary people. Also, that the gap of wealth between the richest and the poorest of the society is, well, used to be, one of the largest in the EU?
    Has nobody known that the UK farmers received the largest proportion of EU agricultural funds to sustain them and remein competitive?
    Has nobody ever told the people who voted Brexit that they voted for against an EU-law that wanted to outlaw tax-evasion of the richest who on paper claimed to be non-domiciled in their countries, who had all their assets transferred to places like Jersey and Guernsey or Cyprus just so they would have a tax rate of 0 %?
    So, basically the poorer 90% of the electorate voted in the interest of the richer 10% of the population.

    These assumptions regarding the TCA are baffling. The only way solving the NI Protocol issue could improve trade with the EU is through an SPS agreement, which this government is not going to do. I am quite sure Rishi Sunak cares more about his premiership than about Northern Ireland.
    I really do not understand what she's expecting the committees could change. VAT rules apply to all third-country importers, visa requirements apply to all third-country citizens... These are issues under the autonomous decision-making of the EU and/or member states. The committees are there to iron out mistakes in implementing the TCA, not there to improve it or to change EU law for the benefit of the UK. That would require a negotiation mandate from the EU Council and the EU Parliament and there won't be one. The EU already has got what it wanted.

    If cheap lies and dressed up falsehoods are the only straws the business community can grasp at, I fear things are worse than they are, no matter what positive spin they put on it.

    Really lazy reporting, re. Exporting there are 2 separate matters
    1. NI Protocol - this covers GB-NI trade but allows NI to remain the SM for Goods. This has allowed the NI economy to grow 3%
    2. TCA - this covers GB to EU countries- this is essentially WTO rules for export just without the tarriffs along as certain conditions are evidenced and met.
    Brexit left GB as a 3rd Country, it no longer trades with the EU but individual nations, this is toxic for GB based businesses.
    Need to be far clearer, its not solve NI protocol and all will be fine, far from it.

      Yeps, will be entertaining watching that reality sink in over the years... They are, this woman included, still thinking that they can change EU laws to benefit the UK...

    England 130.000 km² vs Madagascar 587.041 km². Both are islands. However Madagascar is 4.5 times bigger than England and has way better weather. England's relevancy and future will be much less than what is Madagascar today. The only thing what they can do is what they are know with for centuries which is causing all kinds of problems against the South/World.

    Lady export is becoming impossible. No E.U. personnel allowed to work in UK because of the cost of work visas. Does this lady no know that??? Obviously not.

      Yeah, it's really funny, as if Europeans are going to pay £5.000 for a temporary work permit for the UK when they can get a job for free in another EU country. Not worth it, given the pound has tanked.
      But equally interesting that she does not speak about the 'brown' talent that the UK needs...
