Simon Spurrell said he has lost 20% of his sales overnight after discovering he needed to provide a £180 health certificate on retail orders to consumers in the EU, including those buying personal gift packs of his award-winning wax-wrapped cheese worth £25 or £30.
He says he had hoped to take part in the “sunny uplands” promised by the government post-Brexit but has instead seen the viability of his online retail come to a “dead stop”.

"To save his business he will now have to switch a £1m investment he was planning to make in a new distribution centre in Macclesfield to the EU, with the loss of 20 jobs and tax revenue to the UK."

Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross has called for the creation of a UK ‘Fishing Taskforce’ to tackle the problems faced by the industry in the aftermath of Brexit coming into effect.

Some nerve that boy.
Mostly nerve I think?
Nerves?
No just one nerve as in a big ganglion
Is Douglas Ross given stuff to say from the central Tory proclamations unit down south or does he get to make things up himself? He's always popping up on my Twitter feed with video clips commenting about something or other.
He doesn’t know where the words come from as he has a Bicameral mind. (Julian Jaynes book - origins of consciousness reference)

The leaders of Britain’s five largest business groups have warned the government that firms face “substantial difficulties” at UK ports since Brexit, with the prospect of a “significant loss of business” if the situation is allowed to continue.

Johnson handpicked Frost to run the Brexit negotiations, replacing the career civil servant Ollie Robbins, who was regarded with suspicion by the Vote Leave veterans in Downing Street.
His pugnacious style and flat rejection of anything more than a bare-bones Canada-style trade deal is regarded as crucial in shaping the eventual agreement. The prime minister gave him a peerage last year.
Government insiders confirmed Frost would now take on the role of Brexit and international policy representative – a job that appears to have been created for him. One Whitehall source said Frost’s new post was “the role he wants”.

The crisis over vaccine shortages in the EU has erupted into a full-scale diplomatic row after Brussels triggered a Brexit deal clause to establish border controls on doses moving into Northern Ireland from the Republic.
The dramatic decision by the European commission prompted concern from the UK and Irish governments, with Northern Ireland’s first minister, Arlene Foster, describing it as a “hostile act”.

I think it fair to say the the EU really isn’t coming out of this vaccine situation very well. Slow to react & showing a machiavellian desperation in trying to shift the blame.

How is the UK demanding their contract with Astra-Zeneca be strictly enforced a good thing, and the EU demanding the same a bad thing?

EU now realises how stupid it's being and has backtracked on the NI vaccine blockade.

Hundreds of UK companies could switch operations to countries inside the EU in what is threatening to become a dramatic exodus of investment and jobs caused by Brexit.
The Observer can reveal that by 1 January this year some 500 businesses – mostly UK-owned, or UK-based with overseas owners – were already making inquiries about setting up branches, depots or warehouses in the Netherlands alone, for “Brexit-related reasons”. Since then the number of inquiries from UK companies has increased further.

On Friday, in a letter to Conservative party supporters, international trade secretary Liz Truss said Brexit was going well and was a great opportunity to build global Britain.
“We have taken back control of our trade to deliver jobs and prosperity across the UK,” she said. “Already seizing vast opportunities across the world with trade deals worth £885bn with 63 countries and the EU already agreed.
“Having left the EU our ambitious trade strategy is at the heart of our vision for global Britain and in 2021 we are more than ready to seize our potential on the world stage.”

It was billed as a deal that would secure tariff-free access to the EU, that “sunlit uplands” would follow initial disruption to trade.
But one month since the Brexit trade deal came into force, businesses are warning that the “teething problems” Boris Johnson described in a visit to Scotland last week are in fact symptomatic of endemic disruption that will force many businesses to restructure and will mean the end of some British businesses altogether.
