The latest industry to notice that a thin EU trade deal means economic losses. And, to repeat (again), the trade barriers going up between UK and EU won't be offset by a similar reduction of barriers elsewhere. This is free trade UK government style, meaning the opposite. https://twitter.com/pmdfoster/status/1356314648748953600
What the UK government can't or won't say - there will be major losers from the new EU trade barriers. That 4% GDP loss, or whatever it may be, will hit real people and real jobs. There will be some winners as well, but more losers. https://twitter.com/pmdfoster/status/1356322750353338370
And as I've noted before, the major irony. A government and cheerleaders who claim to be free trade leaders are actually leading the world in putting in trade barriers. And their opponents, often without such an ideology, are supporting free trade.
Important to hang on to realities in such a looking glass world. I'll get the usual trolls, oh you're just supporting the EU. Nothing to do with the EU as an institution, everything to do with honesty about what is happening in the UK. And the choices made and still to be made.
More long term problems for the UK as a result of barriers to EU trade. https://twitter.com/faisalislam/status/1356344789210443776
A thread reminder that there may also be opportuities - but only if government is prepared to accept the realities of what is happening to UK trade now. https://twitter.com/ColdChainShane/status/1356209374541336576
