Re: Britain outside the EU
This should be interesting. I'm with the UK on this.
Quote:
The tiny animal at the centre of the first major Brexit trade battle between UK and EU
The UK will fight in court for its right to ban fishing vessels from catching sand eels, small silvery fish which are often pictured being guzzled by puffins.
The move is thought to be the first courtroom trade battle between the UK and EU since Brexit.
Britain banned sand eel fishing last year in an effort to protect and sustain the numbers of puffins, auks and kittiwakes that eat them.

Re: Britain outside the EU
UK in a Changing Europe promotes rigorous, high‑quality and independent research into the complex and ever changing relationship between the UK and the EU. It is funded by the UK Government's Economic and Social Research Council and based at King’s College London.
It has published report into the UK post Brexit.
One of the key findings is the likely 10% reduction in investment, discussed in this extract.
Quote:
The UK has long faced challenges with low investment levels, affecting both business and public infrastructure. While these issues predate Brexit, the economic uncertainty stemming from the UK’s decision to leave the EU has deepened the country’s investment struggles. One of the most significant consequences of Brexit was the loss of funding from the European Investment Bank (EIB), which historically played a critical role in financing major UK infrastructure projects. Despite efforts to replace this funding with new domestic investment banks, the gap remains substantial, posing significant challenges to Labour’s plan for future growth.
There is a consensus that low levels of investment, both private and public, have held back productivity growth. The relatively low level of business investment in the UK pre-dated Brexit, but both aggregate data and survey evidence strongly suggest that Brexit is at least partly responsible for the particularly poor performance since 2016.
Investment may have been 10% lower than expected, potentially reducing productivity and GDP by over 1%. Some argued that this was driven primarily by Brexit uncertainty – and so would improve once the Brexit deal was implemented – but there is little evidence of this to date. The UK has continued to underperform the rest of the G7 on investment. Additionally, the UK saw rapid growth in business investment from 2010 to 2016 but as of Q2 2024, business investment remains at the same level as in Q2 2016.

Re: Britain outside the EU
No surprise here:
Number of Britons who think Brexit was right decision hits new low, new YouGov poll shows
Quote:
Five years after Brexit, the proportion of Brits who think it was right to leave the EU is at its lowest-ever point since the referendum.
Just three in 10 Britons (30 per cent) say that it was right for the UK to vote to leave the EU, compared to 55 per cent who say it was wrong, a new YouGov poll has shown.
This is the lowest proportion of the public saying that Britain was right to vote to leave since the pollster began asking this question in the aftermath of the referendum.
Meanwhile, among 18-24-year-olds – who were unable to vote in the referendum - there is little belief that it went the right way – with three-quarters saying it was the wrong choice. Just one in 10 (10 per cent) say the UK made the right choice
