This won't be a blip unless they do something about vet certs. HOWEVER being a net dairy exporter is a very recent thing, post Brexit infact (though records only go back to 97). And roughly 6% of milk is exported....Shutting down the coffee machines for Covid impacts 5-10% of production so it ain't just Brexit thats hurting that sector.

Not sure where milk and cream fit into exports (isn't in top 30 thats for sure. United Kingdom’s Top 10 Exports

There’s a lot of U.K. registered vehicles on the Costa. People bring them here and don’t matriculate them, as is required by law if you are a resident. I know of people who have used their cars, illegally, for several years.

Arriving here through both Santander and Bilbao there‘s at least half the vehicles with U.K. plates.
 
For the first time in the five years I've been with them, my band still has ZERO European gigs and festivals lined up mainly because of Brexit (*yes Covid clearly decimated gigs in the past, but we'd normally have at least 3-4 tours booked by now for the summer and next year).

Talk to promoters and venues and they'll say the same story: the uncertainty about Brexit/visas/taxes etc means it's simply not worth the effort or risk to book bands right now.

Another blow for the fishing community.

this is pretty incredible that they couldn't even knock together some shit deal for a year - to end up with no fishing access at all has got to be devastating for those involved. Even the Express think its a fuck up, which is saying something

I swallowed the Brexit lies. Now I regret telling curry house workers to vote leave | Brexit | The Guardian

Boris Johnson and Priti Patel said we would be able to employ more chefs from south Asia, says chef Oli Khan
amp.theguardian.com amp.theguardian.com

At the time, the Bangladesh Caterers Association was worried about an average of four restaurants closing a week, rising rents and soaring business rates. Both Priti Patel and Boris Johnson approached us to collaborate with and support the Save Our Curry Houses campaign set up by Vote Leave. They said if we were to support the leave campaign, they would ensure we were able to get more chefs from south Asia by relaxing immigration rules with lower salary thresholds to hire staff from outside the EU.

And we made the mistake of believing them.

We were – and still are – struggling to get chefs to Britain from south Asia as the rules state you have to pay a salary of £35,000 to offer a curry chef’s job to a south Asian: a sum that is simply unthinkable for a large number of smaller restaurants.

Paperwork is the new trade in post-Brexit Britain - The Loadstar

A new white paper, Brand New Britain: What Post-Brexit Really Means for Businesses, reveals the depth and length of the challenges faced by businesses in the UK as they adapt to the new trading environment. Released by DDC FPO, a global provider of business process outsourcing solutions for the...

The research points to four particular areas of concern for businesses, with increased administrative costs topping the bill. With an additional 400m customs declarations, resulting in some £13bn year in paperwork costs, more than 80% of respondents have faced costs increases, while more than 70% said the new paperwork was a challenge, which was derailing efficiency. Nearly half the respondents said they needed to employ more staff to help with the changes.
