The UK’s trade performance this year fell to its worst level since records began, heaping more pressure on sterling in international currency markets. The country’s current account deficit was calculated at 8.3 per cent of gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2022, a deterioration from an average of 2.6 per cent across all of 2021. It was the worst figure on record since quarterly balance of payments data was first published in 1955. The weak performance of UK exports and a surge in imports highlight the economic effects of Brexit. The figures tally with academic studies that show a decline in exports since 2021, when the UK left the EU single market and new border controls were introduced.

Ryanair's Michael O'Leary: "Withdrawing from the single market just so they can say 'We got Brexit done' was the height of idiocy. But then they are idiots."

I suppose no-one knew what the destination was, because the day after the vote Leave rode off into the sunset. I wonder if, with hindsight, it might have been better for a campaign to stay in the CU and as much as possible in the single market rather than attempt to undo the referendum by having another. This might have avoided the election of Johnson and a cabinet of all the untalents.

"the day after the vote Leave rode off into the sunset"

yup - almost as if they knew what a clusterfark it was going to be and didn;t want to be involved/blamed

Cameron saw the writing on the wall and ******** off to his shepard's hut and the Leave campaign leaders didn;t step up
then when May tried to sort it all out - I give her a lot of credit for having a go when all the people who persuaded the country to votes for it ******** off - but she didn't do a very good job and was given no chance by the very people who promoted the whole thing with no plans

Still JRM seems to be doing a good job of getting the details sorted out

He's vile but, like Cummings and Campbell, sometimes O'Leary is spot on.

O'Leary has never really tried to be anything else but a arrogant pr1ck.....
I can't say the same for the other two.
