Has Brexit Killed British Trade?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/28399267
Brexit promised the UK a golden era of global trade deals. But five years later, where are they? In this video, we break down the trade agreements Britain secured post-Brexit—what worked, what flopped, and why the U.S. deal remains elusive. From the CPTPP to failed talks with India and Canada, we explore how the UK’s biggest economic gamble turned into a global balancing act. Was it worth it?

Brain drain to Spain as world-leading scientists leave Britain after Brexit
Foreign scientists are leaving, citing cost pressures and less funding for research

Top minds are leaving Britain for Spain amid concerns over the effects of Brexit and the cost of living crisis in the UK.
Almost a third, or 32.8 per cent, of the 58 top researchers who won places on Spain’s ATRAE (Attract) scheme had been working in the UK.
Britain lost the largest number of scientists to Spain, according to the countries whose scientists applied for posts on the ATRAE scheme. Almost all of those who left the UK were foreign scientists based in Britain.
Designed to attract the top brains from around the world, the programme offers scientists €1m (£868,500) each to set up a team and carry out research at academic institutions in Spain.
Last week the Spanish government approved the last round for this year’s €45m (£39m) scheme for leading scientists in their fields.

If you are interested in this text, you might save not only the link, but the PDF as well - apparently there are ongoing efforts to de-publish it completely. (What again was the word we were using for this in USSR times?)
And if you are interested on many more details how "social media" and most smartphone software employs a neverending stream of "brain hacks" to capture our attention by addictive design, amplifying the campaigns of Cambridge Analytica and people behind it like Bannon or Mercer, this is a book you should look into:
"Free Your Mind from Smartphone and Social Media Stress", by Imran Rashid and Søten Kenner, Johm Wiley & Sons, ISBN (print) 978-3-527-51002-3, (epub) 978-3-527-82886-9.
- title sounds like a self-help book but I think it is immensely political.

The EU and UK face their first post-Brexit legal showdown as the bloc challenges Britain's North Sea sandeel fishing ban – a minor environmental case with major political implications.

The EU and UK face their first post-Brexit legal showdown as the bloc challenges Britain's North Sea sandeel fishing ban – a minor environmental case with major political implications.
In a significant moment for post-Brexit relations, lawyers for the European Union have taken Britain to an arbitration tribunal over a ban on sandeel fishing in the North Sea.
The case marks the first legal dispute between the EU and the UK since Brexit and could influence the Labour government's efforts to rebuild ties with the bloc.
The EU's legal representative, Anthony Dawes, addressed a three-member panel at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague on Tuesday.
"We are here today because the UK's prohibition of all sandeel fishing in its North Sea waters nullifies rights conferred on the European Union," Dawes stated.
The hearing, set to last three days, will delve into whether Britain's fishing
That’s fair. Thanks!
UK's Future: Your Thoughts and Hopes
After 14 years of Conservative rule, the UK has seen a significant shift in power with a surge in support for Labour. However, it's still early days, but already some of the same issues of incompetence that plagued the previous government are still present.
What's your take on the current situation, and what are your hopes for the future of the country?

Hats-off to The Independent. Their no-nonsense reporting has brought the Brexit crisis facing the UK into stark focus.
The top-line costs alone expose the raw deal we’ve ended up with. The so-called divorce settlement from the Union tops £30 billion, and the loss in goods exports stands at £27 billion. UK food exports are estimated to have decreased by £2.8 billionannually.
Businesses have also been hit terribly. Up to 56% of dairy producers are struggling to find workers (as per an Arla survey). According to the Marine Management Organisation, seafood exports have dropped by 118,000 tonnes in the UK since 2019.
Over 16,000 companies with European customers have simply stopped exporting to the bloc. There’s also been a dramatic spike in immigration, and although 1.2 million EU nationals have left the UK in the wake of Brexit, net migration has soared by 2.3 million.
In fact, Brexit’s biggest promise was to control immigration – but we’ve ended up here. In total, 3.6 million immigrants have entered Britain since the freedom of movement laws were curtailed. Mean

Reuters interviewed 20 people under the age of 30 to understand their support. The most common reason given for backing the former president was inflation and the perception the economy was not working for them, underscoring how the rise in prices for daily staples is more salient for some than high stock prices and low unemployment during the Biden years. […] At the same time, a majority said they agreed with Trump's reticence about aiding Ukraine in its war with Russia, an isolationist stance at odds with Biden's foreign policy agenda.
Any recommendations?
