Government advice

Several companies have reported that officials from the Department for International Trade have advised them to see up a presence in the EU so to avoid red tape and tariffs caused by Brexit. So reports the Obeserver tomorrow.

‘It is now clear that Brexit was not about winning back control from the EU but investing in it to survive.’

"So we’ve reached the part of Brexit where government advisors tell UK companies to lay off British staff, open EU operations and employ EU based staff to circumvent Brexit barriers. Genuinely no one thought this through."

I mean, some of us could see this coming, I mean the paperwork, the delays, if costs, but just three weeks into economic Brexit, and the reality hits hard.

Once company, which has exported Somerset cheeses to the EU, has seen that business collapse.

An east of England former MEP, and fish company owner, who mocked stories warning of such issues, now wails that she "has no fish".

We are told to be be kind to the mislead, but this really stretches what I can take before I screm: what the fucking hell did you think would happen? I mean, she was warned that this would happen, said she knew better, but turned out, didn't.

The head of the Bank of France outlined today the value of stocks that had moved into France and the finance jobs, that moved to France as a result of Brexit.

Turns out Brexit was good for business, just not UK businesses.
