Always excellent Michael. An honest and worrying overview. The move to no longer apply Not For EU labelling will appear as a default on the Windsor Framework and once more a Hard Border in Ireland looms. A HB is of course contrary to the GFA and ongoing peace and stability in Ireland. The labelling was there for a purpose and although would be an additional cost to the Brexit that people voted for, that is the reality unfortunately. I am also worried by the appointment of Arlene Foster to the leadership of a new Intertrade body investigating how to improve trade between NI and GB. Again this is highly suspicious as Baroness Foster is a staunch Unionist and Brexiteer and such a body no doubt will be anti WF. Are British Labour intent on damaging the GFA and peace in Ireland to bolster their Brexit? Starmer is becoming a Little Englander of the worst kind I'm afraid. There is no Good Brexit! It was a folly and riddled with economic illiteracy. But the madness continues.

Mr. Lambert, I just want to say that, even though I am an American and my direct experience with the UK is limited to a week-long school trip back in March 1987, I fully support your work. Brexit was a _bad idea_ , not just for what it has done to the UK, but to the EU as well. Both the EU and NATO need to be as strong and unified as possible. First, because of the obvious threat posed by Putin's revanchist schemes, but also as a bulwark of democracy and progressive ideals in a world in which the USA's commitment to those concepts seems to be waning. Thank you.

I read recently in a Norwegian newspaper of a study undertaken by the OECD that was presented in Oslo (hence the media interest here) which looked at international smuggling patterns over the last few years within Europe. The study examined people-trafficking, goods smuggling, drug smuggling, dangerous substance smuggling (including substandard foods smuggling), arms smuggling, dumping, counterfeit goods, and various other categories of bad stuff finding its way illegally across international boundaries. In almost every instance an unavoidable conclusion was reached - whereas figures from the EU/EEA countries all showed variable but decreasing levels in almost all categories (people smuggling remains obstinately consistent and is notoriously difficult to quantify readily anyway), there remains one European country which simply cannot accurately be assessed at all - its system of checking for illegal importation currently having been degraded to the point of effective non-existence. In fact, the study concluded, it would not be unreasonable to assume that the reported decreases elsewhere in Europe could well be accounted for by the presence of such an attractive alternative destination for smugglers in their midst in which risk is minimal and potential profits so high. Guess which country.

As you say, there is no point in being optimistic, giving a false picture of reality, as all the facts and figures speak for themselves! It’s madness for Keir Starmer’s Labour Government to carry on like this, simply ignoring the fact that most sensible people now realise that the Brexit voting decision was an unmitigated disaster, and are now in favour of rejoining the EU, because that is the only way to restore economic growth. Without such a move, this Government will merely be a crisis management team, overseeing Britain’s rapid economic decline, up until losing the next General Election. Brexit broke Britain.

Hello Michael. No, I don't think youu're being negative. Realistic, yes - but that is quite saddening. It was obvious at the time of the referendum that brexit was a very bad idea. It has taken a long time for it to dawn on leave voters that truth. It is obvious now that it is important for us to take steps to rejoin the market and ultimately retake our place in europe. It will take a long time for that to be publicly acknowledged by 'brexiteers'. And until that happens the countries that benefit militarily and economically will fund their useful idiots to do all in their power to stop it happening.

Brexit proved that the supposed "freedom" outside the EU is actually just isolation and irrelevance on the world stage. The UK's exit which started with Thatcher (not Farage - he only highjacked the idea) in Bruges in 1988, was a long time coming. A return to the EU is highly unlikely without a massive shift in British political culture and national identity - a shift that shows no signs of happening. The UK has backed itself into a corner economically. It's lost the benefits of EU membership but hasn't gained the promised advantages of leaving. The country is adrift, with no clear strategy to address its mounting societal, economical and political problems. Politicians are more concerned with saving face than fixing the mess. There's no easy way out. Rejoining the EU is politically impossible. Going it alone is proving disastrous. The UK is stuck in a self-inflicted quagmire with no clear path forward. It's a textbook case of a country shooting itself in the foot and then wondering why it's limping.

You are correct Mr. Lambert: There is no path to growth for Britain. Britain is a low investment, low wage, low tech, low productivity economy that is sliding out of the 1st world into the 3rd world. Socially and Politically, Britain is a Disney Land of nonsense. Thanks to BREXIT, Britain is not even politically or economically relevant in Europe. Public, private, and corporate debt is already at levels beyond repayment. Britain is overcrowded, requires massive food imports to feed itself, has no significant industries with which to earn a living, and no leadership with any vision for the future. The British people know all this. Which is why anyone who can is planning to leave: 525,000 in 2023, thousands more this year, and next year, until there are only the least capable left. Why did this happen? You can lay the blame squarely on the class of people whose sandbox Britain is: Selfish, incompetent, lazy, and malevolent. God Save The King!🤢

It just means that we will not be having to eat hormone treated meat and have less really toxic pesticides in our foods and hopefully less toxic Ultra-Processed 'foods'; aka 'industrially produced edible substances'. Maybe then we might not be the most stunted yet most obese people in Europe. The EU is largely just another neoliberal shill, another oligarchy like the UK but usually not as undemocratic because of PR as against FPTP, or quite as 'class-bound' via the public school establishment. I would rather have increased democracy ever more devolved to local levels in the UK, as Grace Blakeley argues, but within a larger common trade zone than be in the EU, or even in the current UK with its reflexive centralising tendencies and increasing authoritarianism. All the best.

There is a very Remember these Bee words “When we die, we’re taking you all with us.” A job opportunity awaits humans as pollinators using small paint brushes to transfer pollen from one blossom flower to others. Hours: Daylight ‘til dusk everyday that there are blooms/flowers present. No holidays. Work until you die. Anyone interested? I have noticed that I haven’t many bees in my garden this year. There is a picture of a small child clutching/holding a honey bee. Think of your children’s future. Best wishes from Oxfordshire 🐝

Brilliant episode Michael. You are not being negative in any of these episodes, but rather I would say speaking the absolute truth about how things are going after Brexit. The information you gave today was truthful and perfect reality. We have a new government that lacks business and economic brains IMO and the previous government who were full of lies and dishonesty. We are in a precarious moment, we can't enter the EU at the earliest for another decade IMO, but we could start the process. I am from greater London, I miss the Italian's, the Spanish, the French in a way, gave us that we are European, now I fine with immigrants coming from the Middle East, Africa etc, but we have lost the European backbone which I miss, my Sicilian store, my Spanish friends, my French bakery all gone back to their homelands because of Brexit. I feel kinda isolated not wanted. When I travel to the EU, I see excitement and energy, here I see abandonment, much more poor and middle class poor, high inflation, very expensive goods, and no hope for the young generation at present, so sad. What do I tell my sons! I really am thinking of leaving the UK, my family all born from England hold EU and British passports.

We're just back from a trip to Scotland. What a beautiful country this! And what lovely people too! At first we did not seem to notice economic troubles, but bit by bit it became clear that something is lacking. Signs of hotels and b&b's of having no vacancies made us think that they were all fully booked. Which did not turn out to be so at all. It was an elegant way to avoid to have to say that they were closed. Although very expensive, eating was good everywhere, if you could find a restaurant that is but even if you did, there just was not enough staff to make everything work smoothly. The state of many roads was shocking. The larger roads were ok, but the more rural areas, smaller communities etc suffered potholes of quantities and sizes never seen before. Talking to locals revealed that there is just no money for repair nor maintenance. I just hope that they will find a way to improve their situation.

Actually the roads in the Highlands are better than in Englsnd thanks to the EU assistance grants in pre brexit times!

The Great Brexshitard Daniel Hannan had some ideas: It’s 24 June, 2025, and Britain is marking its annual Independence Day celebration. As the fireworks stream through the summer sky, still not quite dark, we wonder why it took us so long to leave. The years that followed the 2016 referendum didn’t just reinvigorate our economy, our democracy and our liberty. They improved relations with our neighbours. The United Kingdom is now the region’s foremost knowledge-based economy. We lead the world in biotech, law, education, the audio-visual sector, financial services and software. New industries, from 3D printing to driverless cars, have sprung up around the country. Older industries, too, have revived as energy prices have fallen back to global levels: steel, cement, paper, plastics and ceramics producers have become competitive again.

The door is still narrowly open until June 2025. Then it will be locked. Last freedom out of 4, the Freedom of movement of capital ends June 2025 and then UK is fully out from the Single Market. This will have massive impact to UKs financial, law and insurance services. After that hit comes the cumulative damages to UK economy. We can already see the damages that came from loosing the Freedom to provide services ending 1.1.2024. UK did nothing to prepare to these shocks. So if you want to leave then there is your timeline. After that good luck 👍
