Is This What Brexiteers Wanted?
Queues at Dover:

I wonder how many of those caught up in the queues voted for Brexit. We travelled to France dozens of times when we were in the EU and were never held up at French border control (which was often unmanned as it didn't need to check anything). I hopr Brexiteers are sent to the back of the queue.

Of course Oil has been a big earner for the UK( not for Ireland though) in recent decades but ...
There has been a slight fall in our trade with the EU, but much of the decline is in export of North Sea Oil, because we are producing less, partly by choice. Exports of other goods, however, have not shown a fall, and from January 2020 to May 2022, eurostar freight volumes rose by 5%. Sources: Sources: ONS and Getlink
If we take as an example trade with France, British exports between 2016 and 2020 followed a practically identical course with those of German exports to France; and since the end of 2020, British exports to France have significantly outpaced those of Germany.

Financial services exports—one of our major industries—have remained stable with the EU: in the last three months of 2021 they amounted to £6 billion—the same as for the same period in 2019, before Covid and when we were still in the Single Market. But our financial services exports worldwide rose over the same period from £13.6 billion to £14.8 billion. Source: ONS
In general, over the last decade our trade has been rising six times faster with the rest of the world than with the Eurozone.

""First, and crucially, Brexit is fundamentally about democracy. It’s about ensuring decisions for this country are taken in this country after proper debate. That is now beginning to happen.
Second, although most of the hard work is done, Brexit is not complete yet and there are things still to do, most obviously in re-establishing arrangements in Northern Ireland which support the Belfast Good Friday Agreement – but not only there.
Third, the view that Brexit is hitting us from an economic and trade perspective is generated by those with an axe to grind and cannot be supported by any objective analysis of the figures. The UK has grown at much the same pace as other G7 countries since the referendum and, as the ONS points out, our goods exports to the EU are at the highest level ever.
Fourth, Brexit is not a thing in itself but a necessary gateway to a project of national renewal. The Government needs to get on with defining and implementing that project.
And finally I ask the question, what about our partners? Does the EU want Brexit to work? Can it rise above the current frictions and work with the UK as a trusted partner, or will it continue to hassle and lecture us?""

We all know the answer to the last point do we not? It is why this thread is here, albeit for the wrong reason, but at least it gives an oppurtunity to once again highlight the duplicity and ill intentions of the EUSSR and it's vassal adherents.

// The UK has grown at much the same pace as other G7 countries //
Perhaps you have seen this graphic. It compares the UK with the G7. Their growth has been double ours.

Hmmm, about those record export figures…
// “Despite the record export figures, the regular business insights survey continues to paint a picture of challenging circumstances for businesses trading internationally, particularly with the EU. //
// “This is down to the UK’s imports of substantial reserves of LNG from countries like Qatar to fill storage sites in continental Europe, driving this uptick, said Jack Sirett, Head of Dealing at Ebury, a financial services firm.
“This unprecedented importing and exporting of fuels is to support Europe through the next Winter given the uncertainty around fuel supplies from Russia because of the ongoing war in the Ukraine,” he explained to City A.M. today. //
So the record exports are not a Brexit bonus, but a Russia invading Ukraine bonus.

Togo and others often cite that our exports to the EU are the highest ever – as proof of the Brexit success.
But if you look at the figures from the ONS, since April 2019 our EU exports are down around £1 billion per month – it is only now that our EU exports have (just) exceeded that previous high from early 2019.
So rather than saying what a success that our highest EU export figures are – it has taken over 3 years to recover our export level – and if Brexit had never happened our current EU exports would undoubtedly be much higher than they are today.

Facts not conjecture below.
Exporters of food and beverages faced arguably the largest new barriers of any sector post-Brexit, and very pessimistic predictions were made by Remainers about their future. What has actually happened?
Our fishing exports to the EU—around £100 million per month—are little changed from 2014, long before Brexit. Other food exports are slightly up, and beverages exports in April 2022 (worth £257 million) were 10.5% higher than at the start of 2020. Scottish salmon exports—widely predicted by Remainers to be doomed by Brexit—are booming: up by a nearly a third last year to the EU, and by 36% to global markets, confirming salmon’s place as the UK’s biggest single food export. Sources: ONS; https:/
Our net trading position with the EU—i.e. imports compared with exports—has substantially improved since we left the Single Market. Though we still have a large trade deficit, it has more than halved, by the equivalent of 2% of GDP (in monetary terms, over £40 billion) Source: ONS
