A good example of the linkage of immigration and trade in services. Wondering what the impact of new rules will be on UK music, film, football sectors...?

Widespread global perception that UK approach to immigration undermines our positive words on trade. politico.eu/article/eu-tou…
I return to my comment of yesterday about introducing enormous changes to immigration and trade relations at the same time. A UK economy in high risk territory.
2018 government economists modelling (broadly replicated by similar studies)
You'll note the no-deal numbers are even worse, over 9% hit to GDP. Noting as ever that Brexit was more of a political than economic decision, what price theoretical absolute sovereignty in an interconnected world?

And the hokey-cokey continues, one day retaining current ban on various US foods, the next implying that we won't. And I think we're now approaching the anniversary of the first hoped for publication date of a mandate for UK-US trade talks.
Perhaps instead of suggesting the EU are divided over their mandate we could look closer to home. Or even better accept there are always divisions within a country on how to approach trade talks, and the essential negotiation is with your own side. Always.
Thus in the EU Sweden and France are often going to have differences on their approach to trade policy. In the UK business groups and devolved assemblies clearly have different priorities to government. All normal. The UK is just not used to this or it doesn't fit the narrative.

Those who believe Australia is a model for future UK trade policy presumably know that they have a single market type relationship with New Zealand?
Well that set folk off as I'd expect. The key points are that regional regulatory integration is common, and that there aren't good models for the UK's current situation. Success or not still down to our own decisions, but best they're based on facts not fantasies.
And the EU obsessives asked why I wasn't comparing the Australia / New Zealand relationship with the EU. Because for some people it appears everything still has to be about the EU. Even if the original tweet was about the UK using Australia as a model for trade relations...

Ok, since I've been asked, just a couple of points on a couple of @afneil tweets. On UK-US trade we both think we run a surplus. See ft.com/content/82ebed…. Also, has been described as more an investment than trade relationship (a lot of global trade is intra-company)
@afneil On this one, if we have no deal with the EU we are not 'subject' to the acquis except in relation to the Northern Ireland protocol, but given the 'Brussels Effect' of others following their rules may voluntarily choose to do so
@afneil Final point - much of our future EU trading relationship is likely to be dependent on regulatory arrangements outside of an FTA - for example participating in Horizon science funding, Euratom, European Medicines Agency and so on. Which is all to be determined.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
