"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."

Well look on the bright side we are doing better than Sri Lanka
 
Panmere Gordon, Investment bank says:

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

Still waiting for proof re: thread title. If you want to go searching and posting up non-related Sainsburys posts, I'd suggest you start your own thread and see how it goes.
 
More Brexit chaos looming

UK ports face a “**** show” from 1 October, if even a fraction of the traders not yet using the country’s new customs declaration system fail to migrate before the September deadline

OT but one thing that grinds my gears is this sort of comment from youngsters when discussing something like Brexit, Scottish indy ref etc ...

I wasn't old enough to vote last time round and think it's only right that my views now be taken into account, so I support another vote

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.

That's how it works surely? Many things in life have a minimum age set before we can do them e.g. vote. Once you reach that age you can do that thing. I sometimes think they'd support people being allowed to vote from age 12.

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.

the assertion that old ones know best is also wrong.

Most Conservative members are elderly. Most conservative voters are old. Most Johnson supporting Brexers are old.

the governments they vote for put pensions up

and remove free university education

and increase interest rates on student loans

and bear down hard on people of working age who are disabled or out of work, or working and living in poverty

and make it difficult for young people to buy homes

and hanker for the old days of empire, feet and inches, crowns on beer glasses, lions on eggs and blue passports.

Johnson and his ilk feed their fantasies

can you think of any reason why government by gerontocracy isn't concerned about the young?
 
Mottie admits he has no proof there are no shortages at his local Sainsburys
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.
