Bit chilly today, otherwise fine.

Imports and exports have largely been the same before and after Brexit, with a dip as people figured out the bureaucratic mountains of paperwork involved that wasn't needed before.

Section 3 for the graphs.

I dare say we've lost a lot of influence across Europe over it. We didn't get any of the supposed "benefits", but trade didn't just drop off a cliff either. For all the bluster over the hardness of the Brexit we'd like, it mostly seems to be business as usual.

    Yeah, we're likely down a few percent of growth each year. Over time the compound interest on that may end up adding up to a lot.

    Still at least we didn't stick a shit load of tariffs on it out of sheer spite.
