A thank you to Brexiteers.

[ska invita]

Some may call it capitulation but others could say that the EU knew what they wanted

what the EU want here is some degree of a trade border with a country hell bent on deregulation

the UK could commit to maintain standards and the border issue goes away

Never knew Truss was an ex Lib Dem

Didn't get chosen for a seat because she's a bit dim and wasn't willing to do the training before getting it.

Read into that what you will.

Happy New Year

New import formalities to bring goods from the EU into the UK as of 1 January 2022

In November and December 2021, the UK Government published two new versions of the Border Operating Model (B.O.M), which is a guide to how the border works with the European Union.

A staunch ranting republican Lib Dem if the rumour I heard is true.

An optimistic article for a change detailing some of the advantages of the incoming customs rules come the first of January:

This means that on top of all the supply-chain problems that manufacturers have been enduring in recent months, they’ll now face the double whammy of full customs controls for the first time. If businesses do not fulfil the new requirements, then goods won’t be able to leave the port.

Neither is the transition period complete on January 1. During the rest of 2022, we expect to see a range of other safety and security measures introduced. For example, physical checks on live animals will begin on July 1. This too will put more pressure on border controls, and further slow down the movement of trade from one side to the other.

...

The basis for all these changes is outlined in the UK government’s policy paper The Border Operating Model. An updated version was published in November, with further revisions issued as recently as December 16. These changes reflect the new timetable for implementing import controls, which was only set out in September. You’ve probably heard of just-in-time manufacturing, but this is the policymaking equivalent. It has left businesses with considerable uncertainty.

...

Even before all these extra new Brexit rules come into effect in January, UK ports in 2021 look set to have experienced the lowest volumes of trade since 1983. It does not help that Felixstowe, the largest British port, appears to be one of the least efficient ports both in the UK and compared to rivals in Europe and Asia. This is the case whether you measure efficiency as minutes per container move, or the average number of hours that ships spent at the port.

The UK government is trying to tackle these kinds of challenges with its £200 million Port Infrastructure Fund, but this too has been controversial. The Port of Dover took the government to court when it only received around 10% of the funding it requested to build additional passport checkpoints.

...

In other words, not only are businesses facing a major adjustment in the way that they deal with customs clearance, but goods are likely to end up waiting longer in UK ports – further increasing costs on businesses because time is money. It increases the prospect that supply chains will divert away from UK businesses towards other partners instead.

Brexit: what the UK/EU customs changes mean for businesses from January 1

Exporters and importers alike are facing more bureaucracy as the full effect of many of the Brexit changes come into effect.

Must say I’ve noticed this in the Urban Christmas meals preparation thread .

Must say I’ve noticed this in the Urban Christmas meals preparation thread .

Last week I was looking at the Spartan Xmas displays in local supermarkets and thinking there was going to be a massive thing of people not being able to buy their stuff.

But it seems to have turned around now and it feels pretty much normal.

Double-edged, though, cos I had been imagining it would bring down the government.

After reports on here about Sainsburys not delivering turkeys, I was a teensy bit worried when we did the shop today, especially as it was really busy when we got there at lunchtime.

Nope, no problems at all. Plenty of turkeys in particular. There were a couple of special offer wines I might have bought, had someone else not cleared the shelves, but nothing worth worrying about.

There were a few empty shelves though. And a petrol shortage for a week or two.

well finally something positive in this thread to say about Brexit


we did not all starve to death just yet
inflation might catch out a few but alas

Most of the macroeconomic observations made were just that, observations. Although there was an implication that the trends seen 2016-2018 might extrapolate, they were noting the impact that Brexit had had on the UK economy in the two years between the referendum and this broadcast. GDP had stalled, investment (inc. FDI) had fallen and (stag)inflation had risen.

I surprised to see you fans of neoliberalism in one nation to balk at such analysis; I thought the point was that this was all worth the economic cost?
