    Brexit has yet to strike the right note with services

    Services comprise 80% of the British economy. None of the potential deals has really addressed this.

    Access Denied

    If you don't have access to it, the article has a breakdown of service exports by value:

    1. 164.1 billion to the EU
    2. 51.4 billion to the US

    3. 18 billion to China
    4. 7.9 billion to HK
    5. 5 billion to Australia

    The first 2 are going to be hugely damaged by a combination of Brexit and "America First".

    Ouch!
    Hard Brexit now!

    Jam, tea and biscuit exports will more than take up the slack.

      Exports of comfort blankets and No More Tears shampoo should push this over previous highs as more of the 48% flounce to Portugal.

        Not to mention the vast quantities of sour grapes and incontinence pants that the 48% will be needing.

              You are probably getting the drift by now despite your retarded tendencies.

                  Of course.....and to listen to most Bremoaners, the 48% will ALL need to leave the country as armageddon strikes. There will be nothing to stay here for obviously.

                  So....any other largely irrelevant interjections you want to make?
