About this audiobook

This book clearly describes other Brexit options available, their impact on the UK economy and on individual citizens resident both in the UK and Europe. Are the existing trade agreement and "reset" good enough? The basic trade and cooperation agreement has proved woefully insufficient for Britains needs. It has reduced the supply of doctors, nurses, lorry drivers, agricultural and hospitality workers, bringing pressure and chaos to everyday life. It has hit or will damage exports and employment in fishing, food, artistic and other services and it threatens the peace in Ireland. Leaving the EU internal energy market has increased energy prices relative to the rest of Europe. Promised new trade opportunities have vanished. This book explains alternative relationships with Europe. The detrimental effect on trade in both goods and services that has been caused by leaving the single market was entirely foreseeable. As the United Kingdoms relationship with Europe changes and evolves, the book documents better options that Britain needs but are rejected by its politicians.
