An interesting report out today from the Centre for Economic Performance, linked to the London School of Economics, found the negative impact Brexit had on UK trade may have been softened by big firms adapting to EU barriers. But as we know SMEs have been hardest hit.

Welcome to the working week. Early win with a row to myself on my flight to London.
“Don’t throw the match onto the powder keg, because the blast of such a detonation would travel across the continent,” Agriculture Minister Annie Genevard told lawmakers. The deal is strongly opposed by European #farmers who fear the continent with cheap, lower-quality South American imports #trade
Following on from the Polish showing disapproval for the #EU #Mercosur trade deal. The French lawmakers pretty much universally condemn it as unacceptable. A symbolic vote had 484 out of 577 lawmakers voicing their disapproval. #France #trade
Busy day of media request starting with BBC World, I-News feature & finishing on The Farage show on @gbnewsonline.bsky.social. #PRthought for the day, keep your spokeperson well briefed, ensure broadcasters know what you can talk on&oppertunties will arise. #trade #tump #tariffs #pr #EU #brexit #UK
Love seeing a story i helped put together go to press #prthoughts. An excellent read.
I love a good map and this is an excellent one.
Sticking with #Tariffs excellent long read by @cahalmilmo.bsky.social @inews.co.uk. Great to work with my old mate @dwarfio.bsky.social to pull this together. Also featuring @cioeit.bsky.social for good measure. #trade #trump inews.co.uk/news/birming...
As my T-shirt says "Young people. Go fight for a happy socialist Polish country side" ...... might be a bit out of date ....
Tusk will not want to upset the farmers who have major political sway in Poland. The Polish People’s Party (PSL), represent the interests of the country’s agricultural lobby, is big part of the four-party coalition government. #eutrade
Poland will say no to an FTA between the EU & Mercosur #trade bloc, PM Donald Tusk said “The Council of Ministers opposes the current outcomes of negotiations with Mercosur in the area of agriculture, Poland will not accept the agreement with South American countries in its current form.”
#Trump, #Tariffs and #Trade @cioeit.bsky.social DG Marco Forgione speaks with the #BBC on the President elects saying he will hit China, Mexico and Canada with new tariffs on day one of his presidency, in an effort to force them to crack down on illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the US.
Good start to the day with a BBC News request coming in, time for a little light reading on Tariffs. #trade #pr
@lisaocarroll.bsky.social at @theguardian.com reports that Ireland’s could lose €10bn (£8.35bn) in corporate tax if just three US multinationals were repatriated to America under a hostile Donald Trump administration. #trade www.theguardian.com/business/202...
President elect Donald Trump has said he will hit China, Mexico and Canada with new tariffs on day one of his presidency, in an effort to force them to crack down on illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the US. www.bbc.com/news/article... #trade
Yesterday the EU escalated its dispute against Colombia at the WTO on frozen fries, saying Colombia didn’t comply with an earlier ruling faulting its anti-dumping duties on imports of frozen fries from Belgium, Netherlands & Germany. The WTO will form a panel to adjudicate the dispute. #Trade
The #EU is suing #China at the World Trade Organization (WTO) over its anti-dumping duties on European brandy, in a widely expected move that follows Beijing’s own retaliation against EU duties on unfairly subsidized electric vehicles. #trade
Running is a perfect opportunity to catch up on podcast. I pretty much exclusively listen to Boxing podcasts and this is bar far one of the best, Boxing Life Stories with Tris Dixon. This week with boxing attorney and manger Kurt Emhoff, a fascinating listen, highly recommend.
Steady Sunday 5km perfect running weather.
Saturday in the city #Poznan market square.
Trade is never dull.
An add would be great if possible. 😊

I've had the same conversations, with the need for business case studies to back it up. The fact is industry doesn't want to comment on a hypothetical situation, they want to consentrate on growth.
Hello, hope all is well Sam.
Building relationsips is key and the informal conversations are the start of that process.
Here's one to ponder on a Friday afternoon, it is always hard to explain to a client, that not every interview with will lead to column inches. Sometimes journalists want to get to know their sources and hear their insights before using them in a story. #prthoughts #pr
@cioeit.bsky.social comment on how the UK will position itself between the US and the EU as they take fundamentally divergent approaches to regulation in areas such as climate, carbon taxes and supply-chain monitoring. #breat #trump #tariffs #trade
#Brexit has already left the UK adrift between American and EU trade and regulatory regimes — reluctant to tack too far one way or the other. Some big decisions up ahead for the Labour government which will shape the UK’s trading relationships with the world.
