1/ Quick thread. At the end of the third week of Brexit being "done", I can only say that I'm exhausted.
Immediate pressures on companies who have been trading goods have been on grappling with all of the new customs and regulatory requirements.

Some are, but many others aren't.
Worth noting that freight volumes are still below average. But stockpiles are running low, coming weeks are going to be interesting.
First, many businesses are facing the largest shift in their cost base in a generation.
This is something that is going to be something that will continue to play and play in the weeks and months ahead.
For many, the answer will be no. So what do they do as a result?
The other (worse) possibility is to stop trading.

Supply chains are going to shift as a result and is deeply complex.
But that's just one example
Absolutely not.
One such example: due to the pandemic, business travel isn't happening. All the changes that are coming down the line in the activities which individuals can carry out while in the EU has changed.
More from Brexit
This very short article by Jeremy Cliffe is the best thing I have ever read on Brexit and the EU. It pivots on the contrast between Delors’ and Thatcher’s authentically provincial Christian visions and suggests the battle in Britain between the two is not over.
Thatcher: Protestant believer in the totally free market and absolutely sovereign centralised nation state. Delors: Catholic believer in third way personalism, corporatism and federalism. Individualism versus relational love. Heterodoxy versus Orthodoxy.
The article useful gives the lie to the idea that the Catholic vision of the EU has altogether vanished even though it is weakened. Delors wanted a social dimension to the free market and single currency and yet lexiteers laughably insist the EU is more neoliberal than the U.K.!
Subsidiary federalism is a doctrine of democracy and human fraternity. State sovereignty is a doctrine of naked power. It is a face of Antichrist. Leviathan.
Those combined that democracy can only be inside a single state fail to power just how much of private law and evermore so is necessarily international. Thus if political institutions don’t extend over borders there can be no democracy.

To me, the most important aspect of the 2018 midterms wasn't even about partisan control, but about democracy and voting rights. That's the real battle.

Bad ballot design led to a lot of undervotes for Bill Nelson in Broward Co., possibly even enough to cost him his Senate seat. They do appear to be real undervotes, though, instead of tabulation errors. He doesn't really seem to have a path to victory. https://t.co/utUhY2KTaR
