Cobblers. Trade is getting better with the EU. Remember, they need our trade.

Did you read the article you linked to?
I don't think you could have.

While there are no tariffs on trade in goods with the EU, subject to certain conditions, other barriers to trade are now higher
...
UK goods exports to the EU fell sharply in January 2021 after the end of the Brexit transition period, before recovering strongly in February 2021. Goods exports to the EU remain below their pre-pandemic/Brexit level,
...
In 2024, the EU accounted for 41% of the UK’s exports (48% of goods exports and 36% of services exports). This share has been broadly stable over the last few years, although down from 47% in 2010 and 2011.
..

From your article.
It clearly shows that trade with non-EU has substantially increased, whereas trade with the EU has substantially decreased.
This will obviously have increased costs, affected the Climate Change objectives, and made the trade routes more congested and more vulnerable.

In addition all-in-all, one has to search hard to find true comparisons of before and after Brexit comparisons.
The report looks to have been written to hide a true reflection of relaity.

Giving up personal data to the government is not really such a bad thing,

Because Government data bases never get hacked.

Brexiteers told us that we would 'take back control of our borders'...

Immigration figures clearly show the opposite...

And had we still been in the EU, visitors from outside the zone would have been required to give their fingerprints etc on coming to the UK...

Instead all EU citizens (and from many other countries) can come to the UK without having to do so...

Thus which country/area has more robust border controls?

UK is introducing a digital Visa, ETA, linked to the passport of the holder.
But it's confusing for English speakers. How non-English speakers will understand it, who knows.
Here's an example of the information:

An ETA is a digital permission to travel – it is not a visa or a tax and does not permit entry into the UK – it authorises a person to travel to the UK.

Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) factsheet – April 2026 – Home Office in the media

We are making improvements to deliver a more streamlined, digital immigration system which will be quicker and more secure for the millions of people who pass through the UK border each year. Visitors to the UK need an Electronic Travel

You can travel to the UK, but you can't enter the UK.

And it costs £10 biyearly.

So it's a fee to allow you to apply for a visa??
