UK - Brexit vote – Six years on: Where are we? | IG UK

22 June 2022

While six years have elapsed since the Brexit vote, the point at which all things changed was 31 January 2020, right in the middle of Covid, so it is difficult to gauge the full effect.

IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor caught up with Simon French, managing director and chief economist at Panmure Gordon. French says, under his calculations, UK GDP is three percentage points smaller than it would otherwise have been had Brexit not happened but conceded that Covid has been an issue that’s clouded the waters somewhat.

Trade with Great Britain has been severely disrupted since the Brexit agreement came into force. Fish traders and clothing sellers are struggling to cope with new customs and health regulations. Companies often bear the burden of the extra costs.

Nerys Edwards is a shellfish wholesaler from Wales. Her family has been in the business for generations, but since the start of the year, trading has become more complicated than ever before. Her company buys shellfish such as shrimps and lobster from local fishermen and exports them to the EU, chiefly to Spain. Requirements for new health certificates have delayed deliveries to the extent that some sea creatures, which are transported live, have perished en route. Each truckload is worth 50,000 pounds (about 58,400 euros). The financial losses for her family and the fishermen are considerable. Tensions are running high and Nerys Edwards worries about every shipment.

 

There are problems in continental Europe, too. German-British truck driver Colin Francis has been struggling with his schedule since Brexit. He transports goods through the Eurotunnel, in both directions, for a German logistics company. Like many other drivers, he has been held up for long periods at the new customs checkpoints in the UK. When Colin Francis sets off in the morning, he hopes to make it home to his family in the evening, instead of having to sleep in his truck. Now, he can’t be sure where he will spend the night. The logistics firm and their customers now often need to plan three times as long for trips that used to take a day.

Brexit has also forced entrepreneurs like Edzard van der Wyck from London to rethink their business strategy. His company produces clothing from New Zealand wool. Since January, it’s become more expensive to export to the EU than to the United States. Like many other British exporters, he now wants to set up a new distribution center and move parts of his business to continental Europe.

retailer Next (LON:NXT) has upgraded its profit forecast for the second time this year after reporting more resilient sales than it expected. Although the company still expects full-year sales to fall 12% due to the the end of the government’s furlough scheme and uncertainty over the pandemic.

EU - ultimatum to UK over Brexit plan in breach of international law: BBC News 8.28M subscribers

The European Union has issued an ultimatum to Boris Johnson’s government over its plans to override part of the Brexit withdrawal deal it signed up to, which would be in breach of international law. 

The EU has called on the UK to abandon the plan or risk jeopardising talks on a future trade deal. Brussels said the threat by the UK had “seriously damaged trust” and it has raised the possibility of taking legal action. 

However Michael Gove, speaking for the British government, said it would not withdraw the proposed legislation. 

Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by political editor Laura Kuenssberg and Europe editor Katya Adler.

UK - Tory leadership: Johnson and Hunt get personal: BBC News #Brexit

The first and only head-to-head TV debate between conservative leadership rivals Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt was peppered with feisty exchanges and personal jibes. 

Mr Johnson repeatedly accused Mr Hunt of being "defeatist" over Brexit, while Mr Hunt said his rival was "unrealistic" and "peddling optimism". 

The two contradicted, harangued and spoke over each other at several points, with ITV host Julie Etchingham forced to intervene to restore order. 

But towards the end they had to respond to a challenge from an audience member - for each to identify a characteristic they admired in the other, what did they say?

UK - Theresa May: 'I'm going to deliver #Brexit on Time' - BBC News

Published on 7 February 2019

The EU and UK will hold further talks on changes to their Brexit deal to help Theresa May get it through the Commons.

It comes after what both sides said was a "robust but constructive" meeting between Mrs May and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

Mrs May wants to prevent the UK being "trapped" in the backstop - the plan to keep the Irish border open.

Mr Juncker ruled out legally-binding changes to the backstop clause in the withdrawal agreement. But he said the EU would be open to adding words to the non-binding future relations document that goes with the withdrawal agreement, following their meeting.
