Most business's don't export. But those that do, I think more export to Europe than outside of it.

In 2020 our exports to the eu were £251 billion, 42% of all exports, down from 54% in 2006. Exports to the EU are falling whilst exports to non eu countries are rising.
You may well be right that in terms of 'number of companies' more export to the EU than the rest of the world (although lower values), but you're saying you are privvy to information that the ONS don't have, that's quite a claim.

EU is our largest trade partner by a country mile and will continue to be.

when we in the SM, the UK had the massive benefit of a frictionless market of $18 trillion…no wonder so many global companies set up European headquarters in the UK.

Never claimed any info that ONS doesnt have. But you admit the point. More export to the EU than the rest of the world. So of our companies that export, more are now hindered by brexit. So your 5% figure meant nothing did it. Apart from problems for them, not benefits.

I admitted no such thing, merely said it was a possibility but the ONS or trade bodies don't seem to have the numbers. You clearly do so why don't you give us a breakdown by company?

Some exporters were reliant on their trade with Europe. Brexit was a big deal. Economists say it has helped wreck UK economy.

Pile of poo I say.

Yes 3x bigger than our next export market, America.

EU will continue to be a far more important market and won’t get replaced by CPTPP, CanzUK or any other brexer wet dream.

Brexiteers like to trumpet their useless trade deals. Why useless? Because a trade deal should give you something, whereas the post-Brexit deals have
been universally worse than the deals cut by the EU with the same countries.

In fact the Kiwis were amazed at how utterly inept the British negotiating team were - they rolled over and gave NZ everything it asked for, and when the Kiwis came back and asked for more the Brits caved in straight away. And just how much extra will all these trade deals give us over what we would have had in the EU? Almost nothing, but they will damage our farming sector. In the meantime we are doing ever decreasing amounts of trade with our nearest, biggest trading partner because we are now outside of the single market, a market incidentally which is the second largest (and second richest) trading block in the world after the USA and only 22 miles away - not several hthousand. That alone makes Brexit the most asinine of things this country has ever done.

As I have said before, Brexers are willfully economically innumerate.
