Oh look ! The pesky EU refusing to buy UK food containing pesticides and fungicides which it has banned, but which the UK allows "under its Brexit freedoms"
"Freedom" to use dodgy chemicals, eh ?🤡

and of course that's the EU "punishing" the UK again. Of course it is ...

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

🚨 The Times Business Pages: The UK has lost £74 billion in goods exports since Brexit.

Key sectors like cars, pharmaceuticals and advanced manufacturing have been hit hardest.
Exporters say the new trade barriers have made things significantly harder.

British food exports are down 22% (£4 billion)

Food is one of Brexit’s biggest losers: more red tape, lost EU markets, and cheaper imports undercutting our farmers.

Ten years on, the data continues to show a clear net loss, not the global trading powerhouse we were promised.

[Richard Corbett @RichardGCorbett]

Which part of UK has outperformed the rest since Brexit?
Northern Ireland of course, as it has effectively stayed in the EU’s single market!

A senior EU border official says delays caused by the new Entry/Exit System may take up to two years to stabilise.

Another reminder that Brexit wasn't an event. It's an ongoing process with ongoing consequences.

UK and EU car manufacturers are lobbying for another delay to Brexit-related EV tariffs.

Six years on, businesses are still asking politicians to remove barriers that didn't need to exist in the first place.

🙌 👏 OMG watch Lord Spencer Livermore - Treasury Minister - the first serving minister to publicly face Brexit reality!

“Should we in due course re-enter the European Union? My personal view is that that is an inevitability. Of course the UK will re-enter the EU because it is absolutely in our national economic interest.”

He acknowledges Brexit has cost us 4–8% of GDP. Cutting a few tariffs is a drop in the ocean compared to that damage.

The reset is a start, but full rejoin is the logical destination.”

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.

She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.

Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.

[monty and lottie. (emma) @montysbiscuit]

First they took us out of the EU to the detriment of us all.
Now they think leaving the ECHR will be a solution to immigration.
The same immigration caused by Brexit.
You cannot make it up.

🚨 @Lord_Sugar in Sun Times

“Leaving Europe is the worst thing I have experienced in my whole time in business.”

“Johnson and Gove should be in jail. As a chairman I am obliged to tell the truth to my shareholders.”

“If I lie it’s a criminal offence. Politicians lie to the public — their shareholders — and get away with it.”

“All that bullshit about the 350 million quid going to the NHS after Brexit.”

I'm delighted for Nigel Farage. According to @nberpubs, Brexit gave our country a 6-8% reduction in GDP per capita, a 12-18% reduction in Investment & a 3-4% reduction in productivity. But it gave Nigel Farage a gift of £5millon. So that's alright.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Farage says his £5 million gift was a “reward” for Brexit.

The rest of us were rewarded with higher bills and years of chaos.

This grifter must not become prime minister.

[Adam Schwarz @AdamJSchwarz]

Farage on his £5 million “gift” from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne:

14 May 2026: “Frankly, it was given as a reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years.”

9 May 2026: “There was nothing political in its nature at all.”

[David Henig 🇺🇦 @DavidHenigUK]

I think by now we should have learned that this isn't true. There is no Brexit economic dividend. It is as it always was, more (but far from unlimited) control versus economic cost. Because major companies won't invest in a UK isolated by regulatory difference.

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Jeez. Nigel Farage is now posting this

“We now have 200,000 reasons Reform should be in government”

The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT

When will UK news shows call this out?

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

🚀 10 years after Brexit:
• FTSE 100: +62%
• S&P 500: +253%
• DAX (Germany): +151%

Pound down 10% vs dollar, 12% vs euro

£160 billion+ pulled out of UK equity funds.

Brexit didn’t cause every problem but it made Britain a chronically underperforming investment destination.

No wonder 59% want to rejoin.
