It's worse than that.

I think the right wing papers when they say "It's because of Brexit" are spinning it to make the consequences of Brexit sound like the fault of the EU.
 
They are going for No Deal and setting up the EU to take the blame. British exceptionalism bringing faux indignation when the EU plays us back at our own game and takes ratification up to the wire

Brexit LIVE: PM told to ‘honour pledge’ over fishing waters

BORIS Johnson has been told to snatch full control of fishing waters from the EU after he pledged to strengthen the UK fishing industry as thousands face export chaos due to post-Brexit red tape.

Meanwhile, we head back to the point about why we paid money into the EU. Simply put, it was more cost effective then letting businesses pay the same costs, indirect and direct, for much inferior access to the Single Market.

Incidentally, these are not ‘new EU rules’, they are old rules we voted to have apply to the UK.

You’re welcome.

‘Small businesses told The Mail on Sunday they are facing complex rules of origin forms, new customs declaration requirements and VAT obligations from the EU.

“The government have got to step in. Previously they were paying vast sums of money to the European Union to allow all of this to move smoothly so they're saving all that money but all of the aggravation is being passed on to businesses.”

EU's new export rules leave small British firms struggling

British exporters like Jerry Lawson of Frogbike are 'wading through treacle', navigating labyrinthine new paperwork to deliver to the EU as they suffer mounting problems.

The Express is a sad pathetic rag targeted at ignorant, foreigner hating, Trump loving, little Englanders who don’t have the mental acuity to recognise that many difficulties being experienced by large numbers of the population are the consequences of their actions in voting for the shit show that is Brexit. They are happy to be spoon fed lies by the Express, Farage and government ministers because what they say resonates with their world view of English exceptionalism. Sadly there’s fucking millions of them in this country.

They still don't get it. How would abandoning this deal help the shellfish exporters? And if they think the UK fishing industry could catch and sell what EU boats catch in "our" waters they still are truly deluded. (Catch all that herring and land it in the UK and it still has to be exported to the EU... )

Its just more lies - talk a lot and there is so much smoke across the battlefield no-one can see clearly what is going on
 
Brexit Ultra's will trumpet this as proof that the problems are hitting the EU like they are the UK. However there are two issues with that. The Brexit vote was to leave the EU not enter into a mutual suicide pact with the the EU so they won't join us in trashing their own economy. Second - as I pointed out several times pre-leaving - we were cutting ourselves off from a market of 28 equal freely trading countries. They were losing one. As can be seen the French company will just stop buying materials from the UK and buy within the UK costing us GDP, the opportunity for growth and jobs. You are even seeing now on the news where UK companies are investing in an EU based logistics hub which at best means they have no money for now and no reason for now to invest in the UK operation. Some are even shutting parts of their UK operation down and laying people off. Control when you take it back can be - like Karma- a bitch eh?

The local and Mayoral elections will determine whether they go for an early election next year before the whole Brexit shit hits - trick people into thinking everything is ok and go for it

Think Brexit's all over? Wait until the grace periods end...

Despite the best efforts of 87 per cent of the mainstream media (by circulation) trying to distract you from the battering Brexit is giving to business up and down the UK, news is at last filtering through. And, bad as this news is, we have yet to see the worst because the Trade and Cooperation […]

"Like going back to the war". Cheese exporter on having to get vets to (literally) rubber stamp certificates. "Who on earth still uses rubber stamps?"

But it's good for the economy... GDP boosted by extra work for vets and firms taking on extra staff for the paperwork. Just the profitability problem (and then laying off staff when the exports drop).
