I really hope you have just taken some crack Minny. It's awfully sad to see you disintegrating if it is natural mental degredation and not due to strong coke.

"Trade body the Road Haulage Association (RHA) had alleged that “loads to the EU have reduced by as much as 68pc” because of Brexit.

In a point-by-point rebuttal, the Cabinet Office said it “did not recognise” the 68pc figure, and that the RHA had not shared the source of its figure.

The government added that traffic flows were “monitored on a daily basis by the Border Operations Centre” and that in the week from Jan 30 to Feb 5 “both outbound and inbound flows (across all UK ports) were close to normal, at 95pc outbound and 96pc inbound, in spite of the impact of Covid lockdowns on trade”.

During the same period, the Cabinet Office said that flows of traffic heading for Europe across the “short straits” route from Dover by ferry and Channel Tunnel were at 82pc of normal levels.

This was backed up by data released by the Port of Dover on Monday that said “traffic continues to flow smoothly… at over 90pc the freight traffic volumes typical of this time of year following the significant stockpiling experienced before Christmas”.

A spokesman for the port said this equated to about 6,000 lorries a day.

One industry insider labelled the government's rebuttal “unprecedented”.

The RHA has repeatedly hit out at ministers' handling of disruption at the border because of new customs measures resulting from leaving the EU, along with preparations for the new regime.

It culminated in reports at the weekend of a letter from the RHA to Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove asserting the 68pc fall in flows.

The RHA added that “since Jan 1, complex bureaucracy has seen trade and the movement of product stop, and with no signs of improvement hauliers are continuing to incur significant drops in trade and financial losses”.

However commentators have questioned whether the RHA compared higher trade flows during the same period a year ago to come up with such a large drop in exports.

They pointed out that comparing the same period did not take into account coronavirus’s impact on demand for trade, and also companies having stockpiled ahead of Christmas in anticipation of a no-deal situation that could have caused havoc on moving goods.

The response also questioned claims by RHA chief executive Richard Burnett that between 65pc and 75pc of lorries that had delivered goods from Europe were returning home empty, rather than picking up UK loads for the trip.

The Cabinet Office said data from French officials “puts the figure at closer to 50pc”, and that it was “an entirely normal part of freight flows to have empty lorries on the leg from the UK into the EU - this has always been the case”.

A normal level for outbound trucks being empty was “around 30pc”, the Government said, and that “taking the impact of Covid-19 on economic activity into account, the current levels are not surprising”.

The other side of the coin.

LOL news says Feb rally eases...??

What rally? US Dow is at an all time high. FTSE is 9000 points too low, when you take into account the rise over the past five years Dow vs FTSE.

FTSE is the worst performing index

Great few months for British manufacturer @ABI_Electronics. The Barnsley-based industrial electronics specialist has won major export orders in Brazil, Taiwan, Germany, Greece, USA & China, created new jobs and reported the highest sales in its history. Worth following! #UKmfgFlag of United Kingdom
