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

UK trade - Office for National Statistics

Total value of UK exports and imports of goods and services by current price, chained volume measures and implied deflators.

A very careful selection of the data and report, yet again, to illustrate your argument.
A typical Brexiteer ploy.
From the report that you used:

In August 2022 the value of imports of goods rose......
Total imports of goods, excluding precious metals, increased.....
in August 2022 because of a £3.5 billion (13.3%) rise in imports from non-EU countries, while imports from EU countries decreased by £0.5 billion (1.9%).
Total exports of goods, excluding precious metals, increased.....
in August 2022, driven by a £0.7 billion (4.1%) increase in exports to non-EU countries,
etc

Whereas the later report showed the exact opposite:

Total imports of goods, excluding precious metals, decreased....
imports from non-EU countries falling by £0.9 billion (3.0%).
Total exports of goods, excluding precious metals, decreased.....
with exports to EU countries falling by £0.9 billion (5.1%)
total imports of goods, .... decreased by £2.6 billion (6.1%) and total exports of goods, ...., decreased by.....

From the later report

Back to the thread title, it’s a bit misleading as London is still the dominant financial centre for world trade alongside NY.

Its true some European cities are flourishing as a result of brexit, but none have the connections or power of London.

Blimey that with the Uk taken over by Russians and Nazis

So you obviouly haven't listened to the ERG fruitcakes like Suella Bravermann or Steve Baker.

In case you aren't aware (and thete are times you don't seem to be aware of anything much based on your posts), a lot of "EU regulations" were actually promoted by the UK. Health & safety legislation and workers rights being key among them IMHO. Having a minister able to decide, on a whim, whether to revoke or retain a law is unparliamentar. It should be for parliament to debate and decide. Ergo it is also undemocratic - so just the sort of thing a tin pot dictatorship or fascist state would do. Or is that just too much for you or gone to understand?

At the moment but there has been a "brain drain" to Paris, Frankfurt and Dublin which has resulted in a reduction in trading. In addition if the Brexit fruitcakes don'tvkeep our financial markets in step with the EU, that can only result in less, not more, trading

..... 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, ....

Sorry J&K, am I being thick, (that's a rhetorical question and does not need an answer )
What's the difference?
I could appreciate the reverse is different, i.e. "90% of the people who work in this town, live in this town."

Am I thick or was your comment a typo'?

Does that extra paperwork have a cost ?

There's also a potential additional cost to the customer, of VAT and import charges, for imports into EU from a third country, especially for the end customer for mail orders, i.e. those that do not have an import licence, etc.
So all the end-to-end mail-order sales to private customers disappeared for orders over about £150.

A lot of companies simply stopped selling to EU customers. Others had to set up Irish or other EU country outlets in order to continue to serve their EU customers.

E.g. Screwfix suspended delivery to EU, then they diverted deliveries via their Ireland outlet, now they have a French outlet, which is restricted to French outlets currently. It's only taken them four years to get to this stage.

Service Update:​

We have currently suspended all deliveries to EU countries except for France meaning we are unable to accept orders on Screwfix.eu at this time

The officer was trying to say that thatvthe majority of people who.live locally, work locally. The reality is that where I live, a former mill town, is now a dormitory town, where there are relatively few jobs and most people who work have to commute.

The 5% comment was similarly misleading. Maybe only 5% of businesses export to the EU - but the significant thing is that those businesses generate 40% plus of UK exports and generally employ far more prople than the average firm such as Hilary Briss' butcher's shop

Which is why some smalll businesses are either struggling or have simply closed

 

[Pat ex]

Other companies have had to open up UK delivery outlets where they had an EU delivery outlet in EU that served UK also.
If you place an order with Bascom UK, from EU, in £'s, it will be delivered from Netherlands to avoid EU import duty, etc.

Ahh! I see, it was a time-reference difference, 'do' versus 'did'.

So it should have read: 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 lived in this town, worked in this town. This is not the same thing, ....

You only have to look at the big Cloud providers and where they prioritised their data centres.
Slough seems to be the centre of Europe with all the big players expanding and prioritising deployments.

The earth used to be the centre of the solar system, then Jerusalem was the centre of the earth.
Now Slough is the centre of Europe.


Ooops. looks like they missed Slough off this map:
