UK Trade Gap for Goods Is Biggest Ever
https://newsletter.tf/uk-trade-deficit-goods-record-high/
The UK's trade deficit for goods is at a record high. This means the UK is buying more goods from other countries than it sells. It is caused by new US tariffs and slower economies in Europe. Services trade is still strong.

UK Trade Gap for Goods Is Biggest Ever
The UK has a record high trade deficit for goods. This means the country is importing more goods than it exports. This is happening because of new tariffs from the US and slower economies in Europe. The UK is still doing well selling services.

A bad deal for the UK, as drug prices will be forced up.
Pharmaceutical companies hate the bargaining power that the NHS enjoys because of its centralized purchasing system and will be delighted to see the UK government buckle under the US attack.
The zero tariff agreement - even if the the Trump administration keeps its side of the bargain - will benefit corporations rather than patients.
A bad day for the National Health Service and for the UK as a whole. A bad day for other countries too, as the Trump administration will certainly take this as a sign that bullying works when it comes to drug pricing.🙁

UK considers pulling the plug ... -
Latest reports say GB businesses rate Brexshit as the largest obstacle to trade. We decided to move operations out of GB, after nearly 30 years, to the EU/ ROI 🇮🇪 because of Britain's loss of single market access. In hindsight we should have moved earlier.
A new obstacle is emerging for GB business, many firms like mine have written Britain out of our future plans as if it had vanished from the map. If more investors, academics & business people lose sight of GB, it's decline can only accelerate.
UK govt has made the country irrelevant in a way I wouldn't have believed possible 5 years ago. NI has an escape mechanism in the NIP but Britain is trapped by government dogma. How much more damage will they do before this madness ends?
