      There was no change in trade regulations until 2021. The UK government insisted all along that they would get “the best of both worlds” and “no friction”. While there was a reduction in demand from the EU side, acknowledged by most pre-established businesses, if you started in 2017 you wouldn’t have seen it.

      Kimi was a mug for believing lies from the UK government, or hoping/betting that things wouldn’t get as bad as they did. A softer, saner agreement achieving EEA-like status would have been fine for him, after all. But nope, we got our hard brexit…
