"The UK’s trade performance this year fell to its worst level since records began, heaping more pressure on sterling in international currency markets.
The country’s current account deficit was calculated at 8.3 per cent of gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2022, a deterioration from an average of 2.6 per cent across all of 2021.
It was the worst figure on record since quarterly balance of payments data was first published in 1955.
The weak performance of UK exports and a surge in imports highlight the economic effects of Brexit. The figures tally with academic studies that show a decline in exports since 2021, when the UK left the EU single market and new border controls were introduced."

Brexit has meant loss of £58b business investment
By our estimates at Panmure Gordon the amount businesses are investing in the UK is about £58 billion a year lower than would have been the case had the UK remained in the single market and customs union. Although some of this has been diverted to shareholders in the form of dividends, some is lost economic output that may never be recovered as company boards have faced prolonged Brexit-induced uncertainties to their trading outlook

People paid mega-bucks to produce facts/figures that can never be proven or disproven one way or the other. Their 'estimates' could be and very likely are out by tens of billions either way.Panmere Gordon, Investment bank says:

The assertion being young ones know best and the views of those who've worked for years/decades and 'paid in' should be second to the god that is youth.
How would you like me to prove there are no shortages at my local Sainsburys when you won’t even prove there are at yours? Just a picture would do. A little snap. Do you have a camera phone? Tell me your branch and I’ll give them a call if you like. You can call my one. Sainsburys. Hornchurch High Street.Mottie admits he has no proof there are no shortages at his local Sainsburys
