Neff Catrell Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK If’s, but’s & maybe’s… & coming from someone who stated we were 4th… obviously without even looking???
Neff Catrell Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK If exports & imports have decreased that would indicate we are using our own goods more - which is great (for environment too), especially when coupled with growth in manufacturing sector!
Overall exports:
LucasHood Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK So you're happy with 2% growth even though you could have had 4%?
LucasHood Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK I'll take that.
You'd rather celebrate 2% growth than 4% growth.
Global Britain.
LucasHood Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK The pandemic is long gone.
The growth remains lacklustre.
LucasHood Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK The UK's goods exports and imports have contracted by 13.2 per cent and 7.4 per cent since 2019.
That's a fact for you
Neff Catrell Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK Oooh I wonder what happened in 2020… mmm was there some sort of global event that affected trade around the world…. Just can’t put my finger on it…
LucasHood Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK If only we'd maintained that pre 2020 rate of growth ....
Claudia Carter Neff Catrell Curmudgeonly RS Archer It takes time to collate & publish the data but I’m sure Make UK are doing their best just for you!!!
But fyi, the British manufacturing economy has continued to grow, gaining large investments across diverse industries! Despite this governments woeful business tax policy!!
Neff Catrell Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK Yes growth of 40bn over two year “lacklustre”… what fkn planet are you on?
Oh wait, I’ll guess your next quip - it fell in 2023… I wonder what happened in 2022 & continues to this day which affected global trade… any guesses?
Neff Catrell Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK I don’t know who you are referring to when you say “you lot”?
Clearly Brexit can be measured as failure, minor effect, or success.
It’s just impossible to do that without taking into account the reality of life!!
Personally I would say it has had a minor effect, could do better

Neff Catrell Claudia Carter Curmudgeonly RS Archer Make UK The graph clearly shows a >rate after Covid! But You’re comparing apples & pears.
The world was a very different place pre-Covid!! I really wish we could have a direct comparison - one way or the other.
But we can’t, that’s not how life works!!
