My brother is in the city and reckons most of the high fliers ,the so called movers and shakers were very positive about the referendum result.In fact most he talked to voted leave.Sterling tanked the day the referendum results came out, as the financial world gave it’s opinion. It has only fluctuated since, which has been helping our exports for several years.
I will give Boris credit once we are thriving mightily.

Seems to Brexiteers who won't let it drop.
As for rejoining campaign - it was always going to happen. As a remain voter I am happy to see how things go now we are out. It may be best thing we have done!
It will take a few years to see if Brexit is a success or not.

Didn't the Lib Dems fight the last election on a re-join ticket?
There will always be a small number that promote that, but now we're out, we're out. We'd be in an incredibly weak bargaining position to ever rejoin I would have thought, and would have to go back in a worse position than we were before. A non-starter IMO....... and I voted remain.

I don't think anyone was arguing particularly, apart from @icanshootwell , who looks like he was trying to start one.

That's not going to happen now is it, or are you going to blame Boris for covid as well. Just sort you're own problems out 1st before blaming others.Sterling tanked the day the referendum results came out, as the financial world gave it’s opinion.

I still don’t see how you can blame someone else because you thought lamb prices were going to hit the floor so sold your lambs, but they didn’t hit the floor so you could have sold them for more now ?

The only link between Brexit and the lamb price as has already been pointed out that as a deal was only agreed on Christmas Eve that most farmers had already hedged their risk by selling lambs that were fit before 1/1/21, so numbers at present are short and will remain so for the next 6 months.
However exports into the EU are not all plain sailing. Talking to a driver of a load of lamb from Farmers Fresh today he said that the first load he took out to Rungis was on Saturday, it took him 6 hours to clear import controls at Calais and get all the paperwork sorted out. They are using Agents to do this work which will of course add extra cost and bureaucracy. He said it was extremely quiet on Saturday. However another truck was sent back as when they checked the load one lamb carcass had fallen off the rail and the load was not accepted!!
This will be the sort of pettiness we will have to expect and apparently the Dutch are being even worse and have also sent loads back.
This afternoon the number of trucks heading for the port was increasing and the road to the Customs point at Waterbrook, opposite Ashford market was completely gridlocked as too many trucks needed to get clearance and of course Covid tests.
These delays very soon add a thousand pounds a week to the costs of running these trucks and Agents fees, while that may only be a pound extra a lamb in a fridge box, that will come off the base price.
We need this to keep running smoothly as we don't want to see what has happened to the pigs where they have not sorted out the paperwork for sows from the UK to the EU and today in Ashford the sows were 5p per kg and a big Boar only 2p!!

You do realise we have a deal that retains the same EU access as before? Job done, move on fgs.Just wondering what the remainers think? Not the doom and gloom as so many predicted, I expect it won,t last.
