Wow . Good job it’s not computers as well otherwise it’s ‘PC gone mad’This will have the usual suspects frothing...
‘Fridges, TVs and washing machines sold in Northern Ireland must bear EU flag instead of Union Jack’ @telegraph.
Fuller stats on Friday apparently. I'm not sure why anyone's "liked" an increase in our £22bn trade deficit with Germany. The only EU countries we have a surplus with are Luxembourg (finance presumably) and our former colonies, Malta, Cyprus and Ireland (and I imagine that's taking a knock).Yeah but it's only Germany !
Oh.........the 4th largest economy in the world you say ?
(Insert bollocks about they need us more than we need them)
Maybe because it helps to keep lorry queues down which will be boasted about as a Brexit dividend. With Frost in charge of the ongoing relationship maybe he get UK-EU trade down to zero for even greater success on the M20.Fuller stats on Friday apparently.

Anyone got any idea how this is going?

Associate Editor of the Telegraph has a few observations...
‘Importing almost anything from the EU has descended into abject chaos, with HMRC apparently clueless on new VAT rules, and all kinds of other previously non existent charges. Easier and less costly now to import from the US, where there is no FTA. What the hell is going on?’
FT with news on more red tape and administrative costs coming our way. I think it’s ‘death by a thousand regulations’. Should be super fun. To give you a ‘flavour’...
‘From April 21 the EU is introducing new rules on composite foods (pizza, chocolate, crisps etc) that are going to pile new red tape on U.K. food manufacturers.
The new rules mean that so-called "shelf-stable" products that contain meat (a pepperoni pizza) or pasteurised milk (a choc bar or a curry sauce with yoghurt in it) will require a vet-stamped Export Health Certificate
Other 'composite' products will require "attestations" from industry saying where the plant/animal products contained therein come from...so a maker of cheese in onion crisps will, per @Foodanddrinkfed wonks, need to 'attest' where the cheese in the cheese powder came from.’
