Rob’s politics notes, 8th January 2021

Here we are, a week after the end of the transition period, and the signs are that it’s going to get worse before it gets better (he wrote, with the naive hope to will get better).

BBC’s Reality Check asks “Were there hold-ups in first week after Brexit?” (Short answer: yes.). It also covers problems reported by Marks and Spencer, DPD, seafood exporters and others in “Marks & Spencer Percy Pig sweets hit by Brexit red tape.”

The Guardian mentions some of the “rules of origin” knock-on effects as “Firms including M&S suspend EU exports over Brexit smallprint“, and also talks to a few truck drivers “‘I’m stuck here’: lorry drivers in Calais begin to feel effects of Brexit“.
