Brexit may have happened but it still hasn’t been implemented. We are still stuck with EU rules and we have not done enough to encourage business. While Covid and the Ukraine war were major disrupters to progress, it’s not acceptable that the new trade deals are only just coming through now.
The Conservatives should have done better, and it is revealing that it’s taken a Labour government to start pushing these through. Our biggest money making sector for the UK is services, and this needs to be included in every trade deal we do.
It’s no good blaming Brexit for all our woes. Implementation should have been fast tracked to enable us to reap the benefits. Starmer’s attempts to cosy up to the French will soon show everyone how misguided this fellow is.
