London loses position as most valuable European stock market...

Well, Jacob Rees-Smugg is going to have his "bonfire of the EU regulations" which will result in more freedom.

For example it could allow women who have just given birth the freedom to go back to work because they will no longer need to sit at home being paid statutory maternity pay; it will potentially give water companies the freedom to dump raw sewage into waterways without any constraints or controls; it will potentially give employers the freedom to impose working weeks of more than 48 hours without any fscility to object; it will potentially give airlines the freedom not to compensate you if your flight is delayed or cancelled or they lose your luggage - and many, many more "freedoms" will be bestowed upon us without any need for parliamentary scrutiny.

Remind you of anywhere? Maybe like some timpot dictatorship or fascist state, such as Russia? Yes. FREEDOM! (Just not for us proles)

Hence my reference to Lucifer's realm. I already know one family who moved to NI so that they could keep their lucrative business within the single market running. According to one of the Brexit ignorati they were "**** at business" because they couldn't overcome the major walls which Brexit built for them. Stunning!

Only 5% of British businesses export to the EU.

What percentage of British businesses actually export? A number of years ago we had a representative of the local council turn up at a meeting and announce that 90% of the people who live in this town, work in this town. This was wrong. The reality was that 90% of the people who live in this town, work in this town. This is not the same thing, and your "statistic" is I feel deliberately misleading (yet again). The real issue, as you probably well know, is what percentage of our exports by value goes to the EU. Before Brexit the answer to that was about 40%.

TBH is doesn't matter a fig what %age of businesses on your high street export to the EU - Hillary Briss' shop probably isn't going to make a lot of difference to the balance of payments, is it, whereas small specialist manufacturer selling many sub-£500 orders to the whole of Europe is.

5% of businesses is NOT 5% of exports, unless you are innumerate. But you well understand that

that was the question I asked him and got a totally irrelevant link from him rather than an answer. But no surprise.

Most business's don't export. But those that do, I think more export to Europe than outside of it. Or did do. A lot have stopped because of brexit

But i wonder if you can understand that?

Yes I do understand, my wife works for a mail order company and a very small percentage goes to Europe, that percentage remained unchanged after the TCA, sure a bit more paperwork, but otherwise life went on, it wasn't a big deal.

Does that extra paperwork have a cost ?

The increased cost of shipping and additional dicumentation certainly does. Larger companies have the twin advantages of access to good IT systems (which considerably streamlines export documentation) as well as sufficient volume to allow them to use transport groupage where they ship multiple orders as a single shipment to a distribution hub in a country such as the Netherlands for subdivision and onwards shipment (some American firms I have dealt with do this), but for companies selling one off low volume products that is not a viable approach. My missus used to work for just such a firm doing, amongst other things, order administration and export documentation, and her opinion was that post-Brexit it was going to make her employers less competitive in the EU. It did, so when they called for redundancies caused by problems servicing the EU market (15 to 20% of their turnover, and until Brexit a growing percentage) she opted to take the money and retire.
