If you can’t afford to walk away from a negotiation without reaching an agreement, you are in a very weak position. A position that UK put itself into, when a majority of voters chose to believe that UK “held all the cards”.
From an outsider standpoint, Brexit always seemed to me like a divorce between a couple where the partner that initiated the separation somehow thought that they could be free of all liabilities and obligations to the other partner except for access to their former partner's bank accounts and continuing the fantastic sex - and then is somehow shocked when the former partner just says 'nope' and slams the door on them.
Of course it was like that, it's because the UK still thinks they matter. When a part of the negotiation failed, one newspaper headline said "Brussels *must* negotiate with us", as in "how dare you not treat us in a special way?"
Why would any existing EU country seek to expose the unity of the Market to the kindergarten machinations of UK politics again? I was born in 1944 and consider Brexit to be the worst thing to happen to my country (U.K.) since WW2. A self inflicted demise.
None in the EU wants any special deals, opts-outs, or cherry picking from the UK, I have only heard; "yeah we would welcome them back, but only as full members of the EU with €uro and schenge".. None in the Eu wants the UK to only be a member of the single market or customs union. thats simply not negotiable.
@@gawkthimm6030 we don’t want the eu. We hate the eu that’s what the people wanted. And good. You have nothing to offer but shit wine and overpriced grapes 😅 Europe hated Britain before anyway. I’ve seen it myself. We don’t need you. Get over it
I don’t think that is true. It wouldn’t surprise me if more deals and agreements are done. It is in the interests of both sides. There are already exceptions and special deals with Switzerland, Norway and others. Brexit was a poker game and the EU had to take a hard stance. Over time, I think it will soften, especially in relation to things like food standards and Erasmus, etc.
Shellfish is the best irony. UK fishermen found out very quickly that they cannot export shellfish to the EU. That ban was introduced in the EU due to ........ 🥁.......... the UK while being in the EU to protect UK fishermen.
I'll admit I've been pro European ever since we first joined and feel European, how anyone with a slither of common sense thought that isolating ourselves from our nearest friends, allies and the world's biggest free trade bloc would be somehow a good idea is completely beyond my comprehension. Unfortunately everything I was worried about and more came true, and here we are now, worse off in every way. This utter disaster was instigated by one individual who claims to be a patriot - so patriotic that he spends much of his time (paid for by the british population) in America supporting another vile, appalling individual who has declared his intention to slam tarriffs on us as well as Europe. Of course, we should begin negotiations to return to the flock ASAP for the sake of our children and grandchildren. 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

@@colinsmith1288 There is a return, but the uk will have to accept that they wont get any exemptions this time. And cite other reasons than economic one (which the uk politicians are limiting themselves to)
Your grneration is cooked, mate. And the next one as well. EU members will remember how UK behaved before leaving and what came after. You won't be allowed to join for A LONG time. But honestly, I don't think EU will survive that long, given how the nearly suicidal leftist govetment is doing things atm.
I dont get how the UK is thinking , how on earth could they believe the fairytale about how much money the would save by leaving the EU . Did it never occur to them how much they would lose on that deal ?????????????????
The wealthiest 20% in UK were not fooled, they were fed 😂 😂 Brexit was for their benefits, EU was such a threat to their personnal interests, too social.
What have Europe done for us ? French and Italians have always hated us anyway. French don’t say shit anyway they just feed us foreigners. And it’s well known that Italy suported the nazis anyway😂😂
Would the EU open the panel for new negociations on the TCA? The answer has been given multiple times: NO. Only adjustments beneficial to both the EU and the UK would be considered. The UK never understood RECIPROCITY in exchanges. The TCA is a compromise for both EU and the UK and was painful for both. What exactly would be EUs interest to re-open this Pandora box? That leaves Britain with three possibilities: (1) renegue on all past aggreement and go NO-DEAL (2) accept the current situation, (3) join the EU by complying to ALL requirements. UK is free and so is the EU. Bye bye guys. You (the UK) never embrassed (fully adhered to) the European project anyways)
The EU would open negotiations, but the UK has to give back the things the EU requested in the very beginning and UK didn't want to accept. The same things Norway and Switzerland give back in their trade deals: Freedom of movement and matched regulation of products. If they aren't willing to accepts this the trade deal will end up at the exact same place it ended up the other time.
It's pretty clear that the "renegotiation" of the TCA is the political carrot in the UK. "We will renegotiate the deal", says the politician who knows very well that the talks in 2026 are "minor adjustments* , not an actual reworking of the deal.
@@Michael_from_EU_Germany It's doesn't really matter because the UK wouldn't accept them anyway. The point is there's zero chance of the TCA becoming what they would like it to be, and it's them, not the EU, who make it impossible.
The UK could not generate a regular positive balance of trade when they had preferential access to a very rich market and they thought the could do better as a third country competing on a cost basis with other third countries who have a lower cost base. How silly is that...
Not really the politicians wanted to remain in the EU, it was the people who voted for Brexit, and they were not silly. The EU worked wonderfully for the middle class and upper classes; they could travel with freedom of movement all over Europe; they could have cheap labour for services; and they were having a wonderful time. These people also were less likely to suffer the negative consequences of EU membership. For working-class people, they were least likely to use freedom of movement, and yet they were the most affected by mass EU migration. They had to complete with 6 million low-skilled EU workers; they had to share hospitals, schools, housing, etc. with these migrants. So you have a situation where one group of people thought the eu was lovely and the best thing ever while at the same time having another group of people who thought it was the worst thing ever. During the 2010 David Cameron did try and renegotiate freedom of movement, but the EU saw this as cherry picking; they claimed the freedom of movement was a pillar of the EU. However, in 2004, when the eastern countries joined the block, every other EU member nation had a 7-year transition period for freedom of movement while under Tony Blair, the UK didn't impose any restrictions. This meant that from 2007-2014 all of the eastern block new members could only have freedom of movement with the EU. This is the cause of the issues.
@@HaiLsKuNkY Only those very same "working class people" refuse to take the jobs which pre-brexit were filled by EU migrant workers - the low paid, seasonal, pretty bad jobs, lots of which are in agriculture. So you lot can't pick your own fruit and veg anymore, unless the farmers have the means to invest in automation. Those farmers who are pleading for a new wave of migrant workers to do their field work are mostly unsuccessful, since said migrant workers have little appetite anymore to come and work in the UK. The working and middle class have been played by the rich, as usual. Fed lies after lies about how Brussel makes rules for them - never mentioning the role the UK played in that as a member, and all the special exceptions the UK had. Luckily the tories were kicked out of government before they could continue to abolish protections and rights. Count your blessings for that.
@@Bezayne Are you serious? Why should farms grow high intensive crops like strawberries, which rely on exploiting migrants? They should reform the farmland to only grow what is appropriate. We can import the rest from the EU. It is not true that the British are unwilling to do jobs. For example, during the coronavirus pandemic, the government wanted to get British people to fill the missing migrant workers, who couldn't get to Britain because international travel was restricted. Thousands of British volunteered, but the farmers refused to employ them because not only does their business model rely on exploiting cheap labor, but it also relied on charging rent for accommodation, etc. If they employed British people, it wouldn’t have been worth it.
@@HaiLsKuNkY I watched at least one documentary where they tried to recruit brits for those jobs - they got hardly any applications, and the very few that applied walked out after a day or two. What comes down to is simply that brits don't want to be exploited like that, which is understandably. I fail to see though why strawberries wouldn't be appropriate, after all there are even native wild strawberries growing in the uk. Though it sounds like you are fine with exploiting labour outside of the uk, as long as you can then import what they produce cheaply enough.
To be fair, it's already allowed the uk ability to get coronavirus vaccines out quicker and provide more political support to Ukraine than would of been possible within to UK but that's pretty much it.
@ not true. The UK medicine agency stated quite clearly that the vaccine rollout happened when UK was still using EU rules. As for Ukraine, defence policy is not (yet) under EU responsibility but belongs to member states (for most of them under NATO coordination).
UK, "letś trade, India." India. "Only if you significantly increase the number of immigration visas for Indian citizens." UK: "But we voted for less immigration...."
The UK made a bad bet. They're like that loser gambler who placed all their bets and lost big. Now they're desperate for a way back in. The problem for them is that EU don't want them and don't need them because there's nothing for them in it. Be careful what you wish for.

Prioritizing causing trouble for others with your limited resources over your own needs has never been a good idea, and that will not change anytime soon.

I'm European and I amm up for blocking the UK to trade with us, I would campaign for the UK to be left out, they wanted out and they are going to get that exactly.
moreover what has the uk got to offer? they don't produce food or cars, or anything really?

@@ab-ym3bf And to be honest, it doesn't make much of difference on the UK side, given that we've can now freely trade (and are doing) with the GCC and Transpacific partnership blocks ......much more lucrative trading blocks than the EU.
We were always going to be in an inferior position in the Brexit trade deals. Made even worse by the UK government boasting in advance various "red lines" which then meant the E.U. made us pay dearly for them. Johnson was good at rhetoric but absolutely rubbish at actually doing anything including negotiation. We are paying dearly for falling for the false promises IMHO.

According to U.K. fishermen, due to global warming, the Cod have left U.K. Territorial waters and are now off the coast of Norway. The Brits cannot fish there.
Outside the SM/CU, UK is a dead economy walking. SMEs (we are a nation of shopkeepers) simply cannot compete in our nearest and largest market. That will not change until we are able to once again trade without barriers.
I'm sorry to hear that. *All* of the SMEs I've supported over the last 3 decades who used to trade with/in the EU no longer do. They have either closed, contracted to UK only or moved the business to EU. Absolutely catastrophic across many sectors.
@philip_fletcher yep, we lost all our export overnight, which was 50% of the business. We've struggled on, but I might as well go and work a minimum wage job, and I will earn more money. It's just a shame there is vow of secrecy from our politicians.
@@michaelclayton5124 Yup, it appears to be the only vote in UK history that cannot be challenged - even though it has been proven fraudulent by the Electoral Commission! It's little wonder we're now regarded as the thick man of Europe...

Per the Harvard Program on Negotiation, the person with more negotiation power is the one who has a better “ best alternative to a negotiated agreement” (BATNA). What alternatives does Britain have to a deal with the EU? The EU can simply do nothing. Britain needs a deal. EU doesn’t. Britain has boxed itself in.
As a simplified version, EU was really flexible about everything with the only non-flexible part being that any agreenment UK wished to enter would be held on similar terms both ways. Brexiteers managed to sell out a lie that UK was in position to cherry pick any parts of any agreenment on their favour, when in reality they had no leverage to pull that off.
The Empire is the problem. Britain told its children that the countries their army invaded and their wealthy exploited were grateful for the experience and forcing those countries to trade exclusively through England and only produce goods approved in London meant English people were genetically brilliant traders.
For clarity, when he refers to the "UK" or the "nation", he's referring to England. The UK is not, nor has ever been, a nation. The UK is a union of multiple nations (like the EU but without the democracy, freedoms, standard of living or anti-corruption laws).
A more irresponsible attitude towards our EU partners and the EU itself was amply demonstrated by a government hell bent in doing the interest of offshore tax haven oligarchs and completely thrashing our businesses and thrashing agriculture, our people in general and making it difficult - even cutting us off from the single market (and Customs Union). We are now living with the consequences and left to ponder how to make up for the loss of 4-6% of our GDP. Going for "growth"? What growth? But where is the inward investment, the markets and the lost influence of our government further leading us? We wait to see the dawn of the "benefits" that Brexit has brought and might or might not bring us by 2040?
Its pretty much irrelevant. The UK could never compete inside of Europe & it can't outside either. We were never a 'free trade' nation regardless of what the Hannan type spivs say. We were a mercantilist nation who plundered the colonies of raw materials, processed them in the 'workshop of the world' of Northern England, & sold them back on preferential terms at inflated prices. When our empire collapsed, so did our prestige & economic model. The whole Brexit in/out is a cope (and of course, was never about economics anyway, but a proxy vote on immigration given we are denied that particular vote). That is all. We are, slowly, grinding back to our pre-imperialist state of a cold, wet, backward little place, albeit now with totally exhausted natural resources, not even enough to support a small pre-industrial size population. The whole attaching of ourselves to, initually, pre-suez, the commonwealth, then either Europe or America is nothing more than an attempt to hide that by pretending we are 'partners' in a bigger bloc. Salvation lies in the same place it did in the 50s, 60s 70s and beyond. Emigrate.
The deals, roll over deals with a host of countries copy pasted from the EU deal (at the time of signing) In time these deals will be adjusted because EU trade deals are evolving as time goes by. For example the Mexico and the UK signed a deal identical to the Mexico-EU trade deal since then that deal has been improved upon. Japan-UK readers deal is worse then the Japan EU trade deal. The Australia tradedeal is ascandal only signed by the conservatives to make it more difficult to get closer to the EU and that’s definitely true for the pacific trade deal. In fact the UK has not been able to sign a single deal that is beneficial for the country. What is really sad is that Labour doesn’t want to recognise these facts and is pushing the line Making Brexit Work. Just wondering what crazy jumps Labour is going to make when the EU pulls euro-clearing out of the cityand by doing so knocks of percentage points of the UK GDP. Fishing rights are a trade war waiting to happen. There is no way the UK will prevail here simply because there is no leverage this time. Things are going to get very ugly before the UK is ready to accept realty. Realty being the EU can afford to do a lot less trade with the UK vice versa that is not the case.
Any British national can move to Ireland & thus live back in the EU again if its making their life that unbearable. Of course, the reality is there are more British born people in one country of only 25 million the other side of the world - Australia - than there are across the entire EU, mainly because European nations have always been highly xenophobic towards the British. Even before brexit there were fewer British born in the EU in 2016 than 2006, so we were already drifting apart. But the truth is the UK is miserable, but then so is most of europe except the bits with good weather. Life in the EU is less shit than in the UK, but then it was less shit in 2015, 2005 and 1995 too.
You wanted to leave the biggest prosperous market and do that unharmed...? Really? The Brexit idea was a political slogan, not something based on thorough economic research. Now, deal with it.
2026 will be a disappointing year. From an EU perspective the precent deal does not serve EU with a shrinking EU export to the UK. I do therefore suggest a no deal from EUs side. There is no place for UK exeptionalism in the new negotiations.
Shrinking EU exports to the UK are hardly due to brexit, more to do with shrinking buying power in the uk, and business relocated from the UK to the EU or new supply lines within the EU. No trade deal can or will want to deal with that, the EU is happy enough with the current TCA as per their own statements.
Listening to Johnson and Farage, the UK should be satisfied with no European ban on Crisps and the savings from the NHS not taking care of immigrants. /s
After Farage did his little stunt in the EP when our hymn was played, I will vote out of office any politician that invites the UK back while this sack is still alive.
Firstly, you need to be clear and exclude the 6 counties of Northern Ireland from your description, as it is now to a large extent 'in' the EU and following EU regs. 2nd, calling the UK '...a nation'? Really? I've heard it called 4 nations but its certainly not one nation.
There are positives and negatives to the UK rejoining. Here’s a negative: Initially, the EEC was developed to prevent conflict between European countries after 2000 years of wars. I’d say, between Britain and Europe, EU membership has done more to create conflict than prevent it. I’m thinking of Farage and Widdecomb’s behavior at the EU Parliament, going out of their way to insult people. It’s gonna take time.

I don't even know what the point of such videos actually is. No-one really cares about the unpredictable nation that the UK has become. There are far better economies for the EU to trade with. First of all, themselves. Maybe MERCOSUR is not yet in action, but it will be, but on terms favourable to the EU. Meanwhile the UK has to grovel to have any chance of a deal with the US, and yet they already had a surplus of trade with that nation.

I very much doubt this will have any chance of reversal during my lifetime. Such a tragedy of the Tories to have led the UK in this way.

Sorry but you seem to be reporting good news in a depressing voice and making it sound bad. "Exports decline by 17% and imports by 23%" you lament. In 2016 we exported goods worth £223 billion to the EU and imported £291 billion. So EU economy gained £68 billion while we lost £68 billion spent in the EU. Then the declines happened. Exports dropped to £185 billion and imports to £224 billion. So now our net loss is down to £39 billion. Lower is better. We lost £38 billion in exports but did not import £67 billion. Things we have to buy abroad we will keep buying but things that we can produce at home will be encouraged as our "home" market has an advantage in a tariff and friction laden border. So it rather looks like we are selling less abroad but our vast home market is being more closed to cheap EU imports and so now our home producers are selling more in our home market. We were simply gaining less than we were losing with free trade. With a border we gain.
@@grolfe3210 this is so stupid, I don’t know where to begin. I’ll just begin by noting that if your business is exporting 17% less, don’t celebrate! It doesn’t mean you’re selling more at home. It means that you’re probably laying off on average about 17% of those Brits who work for you.
@@Lpreilly72 I am looking at both sides the losses and the gains. You are only looking at one side- the losses. We lost £38 billion in exports. BUT the EU exports to the UK dropped by £67 billion. So did that demand for £67 billion worth of goods just disappear? or did the UK buyers buy the goods from a UK producer? Demand does not just stop, so the only other option is that they switched to buying from a UK producer. UK producers therefore lost £38 billion in export sales but gained £67 billion extra in supplying the home market with the goods that are now not bought from the EU. So then are sales up or down? It looks to me like the UK producers are gaining more than they lost. But hey that does not fit the narrative you want so it must be wrong.

I don’t think that is true. It wouldn’t surprise me if more deals and agreements are done. It is in the interests of both sides. There are already exceptions and special deals with Switzerland, Norway and others. Brexit was a poker game and the EU had to take a hard stance. Over time, I think it will soften, especially in relation to things like food standards and Erasmus, etc.

I'll admit I've been pro European ever since we first joined and feel European, how anyone with a slither of common sense thought that isolating ourselves from our nearest friends, allies and the world's biggest free trade bloc would be somehow a good idea is completely beyond my comprehension. Unfortunately everything I was worried about and more came true, and here we are now, worse off in every way. This utter disaster was instigated by one individual who claims to be a patriot - so patriotic that he spends much of his time (paid for by the british population) in America supporting another vile, appalling individual who has declared his intention to slam tarriffs on us as well as Europe.

Would the EU open the panel for new negociations on the TCA? The answer has been given multiple times: NO. Only adjustments beneficial to both the EU and the UK would be considered. The UK never understood RECIPROCITY in exchanges. The TCA is a compromise for both EU and the UK and was painful for both. What exactly would be EUs interest to re-open this Pandora box? That leaves Britain with three possibilities: (1) renegue on all past aggreement and go NO-DEAL (2) accept the current situation, (3) join the EU by complying to ALL requirements. UK is free and so is the EU. Bye bye guys. You (the UK) never embrassed (fully adhered to) the European project anyways)
The EU would open negotiations, but the UK has to give back the things the EU requested in the very beginning and UK didn't want to accept. The same things Norway and Switzerland give back in their trade deals: Freedom of movement and matched regulation of products. If they aren't willing to accepts this the trade deal will end up at the exact same place it ended up the other time.
@@jal051 No. We in the EU no longer offer the Swiss model or the Norwegian model.
@@Michael_from_EU_Germany That is true, it is no longer a viable alternative.
It's pretty clear that the "renegotiation" of the TCA is the political carrot in the UK.
"We will renegotiate the deal", says the politician who knows very well that the talks in 2026 are "minor adjustments* , not an actual reworking of the deal.
@@Michael_from_EU_Germany It's doesn't really matter because the UK wouldn't accept them anyway. The point is there's zero chance of the TCA becoming what they would like it to be, and it's them, not the EU, who make it impossible.
The UK chose clowns for leaders, and now it's a circus for over a decade.
Clowns with a bus.
The UK could not generate a regular positive balance of trade when they had preferential access to a very rich market and they thought the could do better as a third country competing on a cost basis with other third countries who have a lower cost base. How silly is that...
Not really the politicians wanted to remain in the EU, it was the people who voted for Brexit, and they were not silly. The EU worked wonderfully for the middle class and upper classes; they could travel with freedom of movement all over Europe; they could have cheap labour for services; and they were having a wonderful time. These people also were less likely to suffer the negative consequences of EU membership. For working-class people, they were least likely to use freedom of movement, and yet they were the most affected by mass EU migration. They had to complete with 6 million low-skilled EU workers; they had to share hospitals, schools, housing, etc. with these migrants. So you have a situation where one group of people thought the eu was lovely and the best thing ever while at the same time having another group of people who thought it was the worst thing ever. During the 2010 David Cameron did try and renegotiate freedom of movement, but the EU saw this as cherry picking; they claimed the freedom of movement was a pillar of the EU. However, in 2004, when the eastern countries joined the block, every other EU member nation had a 7-year transition period for freedom of movement while under Tony Blair, the UK didn't impose any restrictions. This meant that from 2007-2014 all of the eastern block new members could only have freedom of movement with the EU. This is the cause of the issues.
@@HaiLsKuNkY Only those very same "working class people" refuse to take the jobs which pre-brexit were filled by EU migrant workers - the low paid, seasonal, pretty bad jobs, lots of which are in agriculture. So you lot can't pick your own fruit and veg anymore, unless the farmers have the means to invest in automation.
Those farmers who are pleading for a new wave of migrant workers to do their field work are mostly unsuccessful, since said migrant workers have little appetite anymore to come and work in the UK.
The working and middle class have been played by the rich, as usual. Fed lies after lies about how Brussel makes rules for them - never mentioning the role the UK played in that as a member, and all the special exceptions the UK had. Luckily the tories were kicked out of government before they could continue to abolish protections and rights. Count your blessings for that.
@@Bezayne Are you serious? Why should farms grow high intensive crops like strawberries, which rely on exploiting migrants? They should reform the farmland to only grow what is appropriate. We can import the rest from the EU.
It is not true that the British are unwilling to do jobs. For example, during the coronavirus pandemic, the government wanted to get British people to fill the missing migrant workers, who couldn't get to Britain because international travel was restricted. Thousands of British volunteered, but the farmers refused to employ them because not only does their business model rely on exploiting cheap labor, but it also relied on charging rent for accommodation, etc. If they employed British people, it wouldn’t have been worth it.
@@HaiLsKuNkY I watched at least one documentary where they tried to recruit brits for those jobs - they got hardly any applications, and the very few that applied walked out after a day or two.
What comes down to is simply that brits don't want to be exploited like that, which is understandably.
I fail to see though why strawberries wouldn't be appropriate, after all there are even native wild strawberries growing in the uk. Though it sounds like you are fine with exploiting labour outside of the uk, as long as you can then import what they produce cheaply enough.
Ah, come now, why do you bring numbers into this? When we all know successful politics are best based on a convincing narrative... ;)

Per the Harvard Program on Negotiation, the person with more negotiation power is the one who has a better “ best alternative to a negotiated agreement” (BATNA). What alternatives does Britain have to a deal with the EU? The EU can simply do nothing. Britain needs a deal. EU doesn’t. Britain has boxed itself in.
As a simplified version, EU was really flexible about everything with the only non-flexible part being that any agreenment UK wished to enter would be held on similar terms both ways.
Brexiteers managed to sell out a lie that UK was in position to cherry pick any parts of any agreenment on their favour, when in reality they had no leverage to pull that off.

The Empire is the problem.

A more irresponsible attitude towards our EU partners and the EU itself was amply demonstrated by a government hell bent in doing the interest of offshore tax haven oligarchs and completely thrashing our businesses and thrashing agriculture, our people in general and making it difficult - even cutting us off from the single market (and Customs Union). We are now living with the consequences and left to ponder how to make up for the loss of 4-6% of our GDP. Going for "growth"? What growth? But where is the inward investment, the markets and the lost influence of our government further leading us? We wait to see the dawn of the "benefits" that Brexit has brought and might or might not bring us by 2040?
Its pretty much irrelevant. The UK could never compete inside of Europe & it can't outside either. We were never a 'free trade' nation regardless of what the Hannan type spivs say. We were a mercantilist nation who plundered the colonies of raw materials, processed them in the 'workshop of the world' of Northern England, & sold them back on preferential terms at inflated prices.
When our empire collapsed, so did our prestige & economic model.
The whole Brexit in/out is a cope (and of course, was never about economics anyway, but a proxy vote on immigration given we are denied that particular vote). That is all. We are, slowly, grinding back to our pre-imperialist state of a cold, wet, backward little place, albeit now with totally exhausted natural resources, not even enough to support a small pre-industrial size population. The whole attaching of ourselves to, initually, pre-suez, the commonwealth, then either Europe or America is nothing more than an attempt to hide that by pretending we are 'partners' in a bigger bloc.
Salvation lies in the same place it did in the 50s, 60s 70s and beyond. Emigrate.
The deals, roll over deals with a host of countries copy pasted from the EU deal (at the time of signing) In time these deals will be adjusted because EU trade deals are evolving as time goes by. For example the Mexico and the UK signed a deal identical to the Mexico-EU trade deal since then that deal has been improved upon. Japan-UK readers deal is worse then the Japan EU trade deal. The Australia tradedeal is ascandal only signed by the conservatives to make it more difficult to get closer to the EU and that’s definitely true for the pacific trade deal. In fact the UK has not been able to sign a single deal that is beneficial for the country. What is really sad is that Labour doesn’t want to recognise these facts and is pushing the line Making Brexit Work. Just wondering what crazy jumps Labour is going to make when the EU pulls euro-clearing out of the cityand by doing so knocks of percentage points of the UK GDP. Fishing rights are a trade war waiting to happen. There is no way the UK will prevail here simply because there is no leverage this time. Things are going to get very ugly before the UK is ready to accept realty. Realty being the EU can afford to do a lot less trade with the UK vice versa that is not the case.
Britain was the bank of the European union.
The entire financial muscle, and they decided to leave all of that.
That was a great decision 😂😂😂😂.
looks like uk is really missing eu... guys. move one. you've had your chance and you've missed it. you have your country back and good luck ;)
Any British national can move to Ireland & thus live back in the EU again if its making their life that unbearable.
Of course, the reality is there are more British born people in one country of only 25 million the other side of the world - Australia - than there are across the entire EU, mainly because European nations have always been highly xenophobic towards the British. Even before brexit there were fewer British born in the EU in 2016 than 2006, so we were already drifting apart.
But the truth is the UK is miserable, but then so is most of europe except the bits with good weather.
Life in the EU is less shit than in the UK, but then it was less shit in 2015, 2005 and 1995 too.
You wanted to leave the biggest prosperous market and do that unharmed...? Really? The Brexit idea was a political slogan, not something based on thorough economic research. Now, deal with it.
2026 will be a disappointing year. From an EU perspective the precent deal does not serve EU with a shrinking EU export to the UK. I do therefore suggest a no deal from EUs side. There is no place for UK exeptionalism in the new negotiations.
Shrinking EU exports to the UK are hardly due to brexit, more to do with shrinking buying power in the uk, and business relocated from the UK to the EU or new supply lines within the EU.
No trade deal can or will want to deal with that, the EU is happy enough with the current TCA as per their own statements.

There are positives and negatives to the UK rejoining. Here’s a negative: Initially, the EEC was developed to prevent conflict between European countries after 2000 years of wars.

I don't even know what the point of such videos actually is. No-one really cares about the unpredictable nation that the UK has become. There are far better economies for the EU to trade with. First of all, themselves. Maybe MERCOSUR is not yet in action, but it will be, but on terms favourable to the EU. Meanwhile the UK has to grovel to have any chance of a deal with the US, and yet they already had a surplus of trade with that nation. I very much doubt the next four years will be favourable, even if they do obtain a deal. Trump is now president. So another four years of decline. I very much doubt this will have any chance of reversal during my lifetime. Such a tragedy of the Tories to have led the UK in this way. And the utter failure of the Labour party to seriously oppose the Tories in the one field they should have, IMHO.

I feel sorry for ordinary Brits, especially LGBTQ+ Brits, but as a whole, I feel nothing but schadenfreude, especially towards the flaming wasp nest that is the Tories Party.
still laughing
Unfortunately, sorry to burst your bubble. Let's talk about international trade for the UK and many Euro countries. All are just off record nominal trade in 2024, indeed the UK now exports over $1 trillion, whereas the 2 largest euro economies France and Germany at record nominal trade of 1$ and $2 trillion respectively.
Why so bitter euro chaps? The world is a big place. There’s no need for unpleasantness. 😂
Global Britain?
It failed.
SCAM BRITAIN hehe.
In about 3 weeks on the 15th of December the free trade agreement of CPTPP comes into effect.
EU:
GDP: $18.8 trillion
Population: 450 million people.
CPTPP:
GDP: $13.5 trillion
Population: 510 million people
The GDP of the EU is larger but the EU has limited room for expansion whereas the CPTPP can easily expand, China has already requested membership aswell as other countries. Also the CPTPP has a larger population meaning more customers, even moreso should China and others join.
The 15th of next month is going to see a major surge in the UK economy. Members of CPTPP include Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.
This video is a complete waste of time, the creator doesn't even know the UK is about to reap the benefit of one of the largest free trade blocs on the planet. The video mentions rollover trade deals with the likes of Japan and Australia but completely ignore CPTPP which comes into effect in 3 weeks, this video is laughable.
Thounsand and much more miles away from you!Good luck with the logistic!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@dorinvesa1109 We're not living in the middle ages anymore, logistics will be perfectly fine. We're a sea faring nation, we've been trading globally for centuries.
@@XennialTV My bad!So,you offer what and them also!Like in Hamlet,THIS IS THE QUESTION!😉
The EU already dominates the trade with CPTPP. For England just the crumbs.
No one wants to buy your eels and tinned beans. 😂
The one benefit that the UK is able to have (similar to Norway) zero tariffs on Chinese EVs. The UK can improve its pollution by allowing its citizens to Chinese EVs.
Sorry but you seem to be reporting good news in a depressing voice and making it sound bad.
"Exports decline by 17% and imports by 23%" you lament.
In 2016 we exported goods worth £223 billion to the EU and imported £291 billion. So EU economy gained £68 billion while we lost £68 billion spent in the EU.
Then the declines happened. Exports dropped to £185 billion and imports to £224 billion. So now our net loss is down to £39 billion. Lower is better.
We lost £38 billion in exports but did not import £67 billion.
Things we have to buy abroad we will keep buying but things that we can produce at home will be encouraged as our "home" market has an advantage in a tariff and friction laden border.
So it rather looks like we are selling less abroad but our vast home market is being more closed to cheap EU imports and so now our home producers are selling more in our home market.
We were simply gaining less than we were losing with free trade. With a border we gain.
The most illiterate analysis I've ever read.
@@grolfe3210 this is so stupid, I don’t know where to begin. I’ll just begin by noting that if your business is exporting 17% less, don’t celebrate! It doesn’t mean you’re selling more at home. It means that you’re probably laying off on average about 17% of those Brits who work for you.
@@Lpreilly72 I am looking at both sides the losses and the gains. You are only looking at one side- the losses.
We lost £38 billion in exports.
BUT the EU exports to the UK dropped by £67 billion.
So did that demand for £67 billion worth of goods just disappear? or did the UK buyers buy the goods from a UK producer?
Demand does not just stop, so the only other option is that they switched to buying from a UK producer.
UK producers therefore lost £38 billion in export sales but gained £67 billion extra in supplying the home market with the goods that are now not bought from the EU.
So then are sales up or down? It looks to me like the UK producers are gaining more than they lost.
But hey that does not fit the narrative you want so it must be wrong.
@@ab-ym3bf I have explained it further to help you understand. Again if you look at the issue you do need to look at both sides.
If you want to actually contribute to the discussion then please let me know the part you do not understand.
@@grolfe3210 There is neither an explanation from your side, nor is this drivel worth any discussion.
Someone posting this level of nonsense doesn´t even understand the basics of economics, and it will take days of "economics 101" to explain.
Go live a happy life with your delusions, and never start a business for yourself.
Shipping from BRICS is your only option. At the moment in exchange the Pound is greater than every single currency individually in BRICS & ASEAN. Just the cost and time of shipping minus that and calculate from that. I think your fine.
Oh my goodness BRICS is that it? Totally dominated by Russia, what utter Brexit Bollocks.
Sterling is stronger than the USD, AUD, CAD and EUR... what's your point?
@benghiskahn3673 why does the title say struggling? Ship from cheaper currency is the point. Help more self employed businesses with a cheaper import.
@@yournotjokinggovernmentIt can't join BRICS without losing its special relationship with the US and likely getting kicked out of G7 and NATO.
@@RiteMoEquationsWell are you saying they can't even set up trade for vegetables and fruit for a cheaper alternative in the supermarkets through a currency like Rupee for example?
4:39 hungary , romania and bulgarians not in the single market i guess 🤣
stop you'r drivel.
Your talking crap, how's Germany doing answer that
Boris, a man of his word...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every people gets the government they deserve : )
