Are there any such businesses though? That have given up selling to the UK?The businesses no longer delivering to the UK can be safely ignored because only middle class people are affected

For narrative purposes the worst effects of brexit need to kick in just as covid wave 2 finally starts tailing off a bit. The trick is to let people draw half a breath before you punch them in the gut again

tbf this one tiny example does looks a bit tenuous; surely the stories of haulage firms deciding not to run into UK from the supra state and their employees/contractors declining jobs involving the short straights crossing are potentially more concerning?

Whoops.
Though tbf this is one of those logistic oddities like making Guinness in Dublin and shipping to Belfast for bottling that makes sense only to accountants not practicality or carbon footprints.

This is an example of a brit company saying it's harder to sell to the EU.
So back to examples of EU companies giving up on exporting to the UK?

Yes and that's easily rectified by just not doing daft things like sending stuff to Italy only to send it back again.

That Dutchbikebits tweet is just one company being dickheads. That was posted pre-December when they couldn't possibly have know what the regime was going to be regarding exporting to the UK and, given the deal, is now shown to be complete bollocks anyway.

This is a bit strange - residency papers British and Spanish governments both say are valid being refused by airlines.

That's just a fuck-up by the look of it. There'll be plenty more of those in the coming weeks and months but if that's the extent of them it's hardly Armageddon.This is a bit strange - residency papers British and Spanish governments both say are valid being refused by airlines.

Indeed, a bit strange rather than Armageddon.

They're vacuum packed. Haven't you ever bought a sex arse before?

I think this is an entirely inappropriate way to report on our gallant MEPs returning home redundant.

Not yet no. I think he might be lying about the magnitude of his sex arse empire.

He's credited with revitalising the British sex arse industry. Show some respect.

The real problems aren't going to appear for several months or even years.
Complex supply chains where parts get shipped around several times are now more complex. Not as bad as they would have been if there was no deal but still more complex and hence more expensive and there will be pressure to simplify and thus save money,
This will actually result in some jobs coming back to the UK but given the relative differences in the size of the EU compared to the UK, the EU will be favoured.
The other problem is forward investment, much of the investment in the UK is a result of it being a gateway into Europe. That has already been peetering out over the last 4 years anyway. Tesla is building their European factory in Germany where the UK may have been a better choice.
The Nissan factory in Sunderland is not likely to be at the top of the list for new models anymore and rather than close immediately will now probably fade away over a few years before it shuts. And we all have ranted about the arsehole Brexiteer building Land-rover in France.

I think you might be right. Probably an insurance sex arse scam. In a few days there’ll be a lorry fire in France and he’ll claim for 10,000 sex arses when only a few hundred were on board.

Brooks are owned by an Italian company so it's not all that surprising that distribution is via Italy. There will be endless cases of this and you can address each one in turn saying 'well why don't we just...', but in total it amounts to 'why don't we just unilaterally opt out of globalisation'. I mean, you can try, but it's what sanctions are supposed to do to a country.

Its the move from paper certificates to biometric ones , they are doing the same in Portugal. The intention is the new biometric ones will render the old paper ones invalid and someones taken that literally at the airline. The last minute deal the festive holiday and covid restrictions have had an impact on some people making late applications for residency here , there wont be an extension but if you can prove you were here before Dec 31st you can still apply through the old process .

Prob not exactly the right thread but has anyone read Perry Andersons 'Ever Closer Union' essay ? Its long and complex, well compared to the cut and pasting of Guardian articles, but imo a fascinating analysis of the history and the evolution of the EU. Its behind a paywall but you get one free article a month before the paywall kicks in. Perry Anderson · Ever Closer Union? · LRB 7 January 2021
