Trade from UK to EU lowered to 16 % after Brexit.
According to a recent study, trade between the UK and the EU is down 16% from what was expected had Brexit not occurred.
In the meantime, research from the Economic and Social Research Institute released on Wednesday shows that trade between the EU and the UK has decreased even more, by 20%, in comparison to a scenario in which Brexit had not occurred.
Using data from the UK and the EU, it was discovered that gauging the effect of Brexit on trade between the UK and EU can produce a range of outcomes depending on the data source and comparison group utilized.
The UK has NEVER voted to leave the Single Market.
Every Brexit campaigner promised we would keep all the trade benefits of the Single Market.
The majority in 2017 & 2019 voted for Single Market parties.

When compared to UK trade with the rest of the world, the impact of Brexit on EU-UK trade does not appear to be as significant, according to the report How Has Brexit Changed EU-UK Trade Flows?
Global exports from Britain had been growing slowly.
However, a clear contrast emerged between the UK’s commerce with the rest of the world and the EU’s faster-growing performance with more than 200 trading partners.
The investigation discovered “a large fall in the number of products traded from the UK to the EU” based on monthly HMRC and country-level Eurostat data.
The ESRI said that after a steep decline in the first few months of 2021, the EU-UK goods trade had risen.
In value terms, trade has largely returned to its pre-2021 level. It is still much behind where it might have been if it had grown at the same rate as other trading partners, though.
The Brexit “spill-over” impacts on supply chains, according to the ESRI, may have contributed to the slow growth in worldwide exports of goods from the UK.
According to the report, the scale of the impact of Brexit on imports and exports was largely identical for the majority of EU members.
Recovering lost commerce with Europe should be a primary goal as the nation enters a recession, according to Peter Norris, chair of the Virgin group and co-convener of the Brexit monitoring body, the UK Trade and Business Commission.
He continued, “The government can achieve this by reducing the trade barriers that Brexit introduced. According to the ESRI, Ireland stands out as having experienced a particularly significant decrease in imports from the UK compared to its other international trading patterns.”
