Unfortunately Vin, this is good news for the UK. If you want to tempt remainiacs out from under their stones, you have to post bad news for the UK, they love it. It's like catnip to a feline. |

The document executive summary shows our trade figures dropped between 2019 and 2022 but strangely no voice in the government or civil service seems to point out most of the country was forcibly put under house arrest for large portions of that. What i find far more useful in the document is the admission by the civil service that our reliance on the EU as a trading partner has shrunk, whereas prior to brexit we were forced to let Brussels negotiate our position with the rest of the world, and 55% of our trade went to the EU, these figures show the position has more than reversed, with only 42% of our trade going to the EU and 58% going elsewhere. Given two devolved governments have done their utmost to fuck GB business rather than see it make a success of trading outside the EU that’s not bad |

Brexit is a complete and total success. Quite right, and as a bonus, it really triggers remainiacs. What's not to like  |

In 2022, the UK's exports of goods and services totalled £815 billion and imports totalled £902 billion. The EU accounted for 42% of UK exports of goods and services and 48% of imports in 2022. The UK generally imports more than it exports meaning that it runs a trade deficit.5 days ago commonslibrary.parliament.uk › ... Trade: Key Economic Indicators - The House of Commons Library As usual, monocellular members judge brexit merely on imports and exports between the EU and the UK. The value of these depends on currency exchange value, and different rates of inflation in each country. But as usual, EU/UK relationships is about far more than trade between the two. It isvthe EU which secured favourable trade deals with over 80 countries, seemingly acceptable to the UK or they would have been changed by now. The now ancient idea that what counts is EU/UK trade is telescopically shortsighted in the extreme. The issue is UK/REST OF THE WORLD trade. The UK should be out there all over the world creating business relationships with those countries offered to it by the EU. Finally being a member of the EU, trade inside it is only one issue. The UK has lost its place in EU security, research, data exchange, communications development and swathes of fdi. If you want to talk about the EU, take into account the whole of the EU and stop this foolishness of contrating merely on one part of it. In conclusion, the UK is still the slowest growing economy in the G7. I would hardly call that a success. |

I have every confidence in the ability of an independent United Kingdom to prosper and create wealth for its citizens and look forward to huge trade deals in the Pacific and the Americas. I am puzzled as to why people take enjoyment in pretending that we are not good enough to achieve that. This sort of remainer inferiority complex is a leftie trait and mustn't be allowed to flourish. If more unemployed unionised four day week work at home lefties got cracking and did their bit it would help even more.

Aw poor Eurocultists, the UK economy is growing, sales to the EU and the USA are in real terms higher than in 2016 and that's without Kim's much hyped passporting of financial services.
George Osborne's forecasts of doom proved to be bollocks.
Lets get more arms to Ukraine, the sooner Putin is defeated, the sooner world inflation can be curbed.
Fuel prices and food prices need bringing under control.
Russia is a big fuel supplier.
Ukraine a big food supplier.
Once the war is over, Russia will need to rejoin the civilised democratic world.
Helping it purge the corruption of the Putin era and do business with the west will be everyone's priority including the EU's.
But, as an independent player, we can decide for ourselves, when it is sufficiently reformed to lift the sanctions.
