  • A report has found that new post-Brexit UK border checks coming into force later this month will cost British businesses £2bn and fuel higher inflation.
    With less than a month before the introduction of new checks on animal and plant products from 30 April, the insurer Allianz Trade said the controls agreed under Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal could add 10% to import costs over the first year.
    Callers Daniel and Encina tell James O’Brien about their experiences highlighting the impact of Brexit on the food industry.
    00:17 - Caller Daniel says the latest charges will cost his company £100,000
    06:03 - Caller Encina disputes the idea of growing food in the UK

      James was fast on that reply about agricultural workers, which is closely related to the real reason Brexit got passed.
      Rising prices on a variety of fresh food, in particular fruits, leads to a decline in a healthy diet for anyone that can't afford to go to farmers markets or the equivalent of Whole Foods. The logical progression from that is further strain on healthcare.
      There would have been a significant number of Brextiteers in that category, yet voted against there own best interest and are now blaming everyone but themselves.

      @@DeepFriedDave wrong, on all counts. If something is stuck in customs, its due to the policies and tax systems of the country that owns the systems. You just don't want to see the reality. The EU is upset because the UK left, they refused all attempts at making trade agreements and now they are making it very difficult for anyone in the EU to trade with the UK. In other words, they continue to be bullies. I think you're the one who can't see, because you're part of the EU. I am neither British nor European, do not live in an EU copuntry or UK, nor did I have a vote. I have no particular axe to grind so I can see it how it really is without any prejudice.

If you look closely at immigration figures there is a net outflow of people from the EU which is telling you Brexit Britain is on the way down. The immigrants going to the UK are from very poor countries like India/Pakistan/Nigeria and they bring in more dependants as birth rates in these countries are far higher than countries like Poland. This is why there are more immigrants in the UK than ever before. Taxes are at record high in the Uk and the health system has collapsed. The Finacial Services thankfully for the Ul are still very strong in London which voted to remain.

    "Joël Reland, a research associate at UK in a Changing Europe, said: “The UK is living next door to a regulatory behemoth, which it cannot afford to ignore. Even after Brexit, the EU remains the UK’s chief export market, so British businesses have little choice but to conform with new EU regulations.
    “The main difference is that now the UK government has no means of influencing EU policy decisions from the inside.”
    First point, the idea of being free of EU regulations is proven to be a nonsense.
    Second point is the gun shooting the other foot. Not only will businesses be forced to meet EU policy decisions for exports into the EU and imports from the EU, the UK no longer has any say in these matters.

      You can't just reverse it at this stage. The UK has left the EU, they'd have to rejoin it somehow. There's no way that's going to happen anytime soon, that's decades away at best, and they'd rejoin without the special perks they had before, making it a harder sell to the public.
      What they could do is a special treaty like Norway or Switzerland, but that was already on the table during the exit negotiations and the UK said no to that. They didn't want to be rule takers.

Pre-Brexit, we could only sell duty free spirits and cigarettes/tobacco on flights outside the EU (Switzerland, Turkey, Egypt and the Carnaries), which worked out at 1 day every 2 or 3 months for myself.
    Post Brexit, we can sell these products on all flights outside the UK. So pretty much every work day, all day.
    My pay has now soared by up to £500 a month, post Brexit. And our customers save hundreds on these products coming to and from Spain, for example.

    If only Brexit just effected those who voted for it. They'd soon change their minds. The only thing I've disagreed with James about this whole time is the question of whether those who voted for Brexit are to blame for the inevitable consequences. Personally I have absolutely no sympathy at all for anyone who voted for Brexit. I would never class myself as the cleverest person out there. I have average intelligence. But I objectively sought out the truth of what Brexit meant. People who voted for Brexit sought only anything that backed up their faux-patriotic (actually nationalistic) view of the UK. The "they need us more than we need them" arrogance. The "we can tell them what to do", when talking about signing free trade deals. The craziness of the "taking control of our borders" rhetoric. When the very obvious point about any border is that it's two-way and therefore one nation can never be solely in control of it. Brexit was delusional, arrogant and egotistical. It came from a superiority complex we've had since we had an empire.
    The simple fact about Ress-Mogg, Johnson, Truss and Farage is that they don't care about you. Wake up and accept that and you'll be able to see the truth. Don't and you'll vote Reform and be in the same delusional situation in 1,2,3, 5, 10 years time

    The worst part of this is that since Brexit the immigration system has totally collapsed in the UK with visas handed out like confetti for the most dubious of study and employment reasons, just not to EU residents though whom the Home Office seems to target with Windrush style gusto, meanwhile our neighbours in the EU, with whom we have real genuine social, political and economic relations have had the door slammed firmly shut even when doing so has inflicted massive harm on our economy and standard or living.

      I’m starting to sound like a brexiteer (which I definitely am not) but the pound has been in a steady decline for about 50 years against most major currencies. At the time the euro was created early 2000s about 1.70€ for a £. By 2005 about1.50 by 2010 1.40. Now since then it has fluctuated between almost parity and 1.25. Today it’s 1.17. Clearly most of the decline is not down to brexit as most of the decline happened before and besides seems to be part of a general long term trend.
