imports decreased by £9.2 billion (17.6%) and exports decreased by £5.5 billion (11.8%).

Er, that is £3.7bn better off?

What I was interested in is... The unusual considerations for the figures anyway.

The latest lockdown is doing less harm to the economy than feared as families and businesses are increasingly resilient and better at finding ways to keep on working and spending through the pandemic.GDP shrank by 2.9pc in January, a far smaller hit than the crunch of between 4pc and 5pc that had been expected given the severity of Covid restrictions imposed at the start of the year.This is still the biggest monthly drop since April's 18.3pc collapse, when the first lockdown was imposed, the Office for National Statistics said.There were serious ructions in trade, with exports to the EU tumbling by more than 40pc on the month, as a combination of pre-Brexit stockpiling, new border frictions and the lockdown itself all weighed on cross-Channel business.But there is evidence that the economy overall is adapting successfully to cope with the restrictions.ADVERTISING"Had it not been for school closures, the fall in output during the third lockdown would have been less than during the second lockdown, as well as the first. In that sense, the economy is seemingly becoming more immune to lockdowns," said economist Sandra Horsfield at Investec.Education output tumbled by more than 16pc as online education is a poor substitute for the classroom.The hospitality industry also suffered a fall of more than one-quarter as pubs and restaurants were closed again, while output in wholesale and retail slumped by almost one-tenth as shops deemed "non-essential" were forced to shut their doors once more.Those shrinking industries contributed to a 3.5pc monthly drop in services output, which makes up the biggest chunk of the UK economy.UK GDP shrank 2.9pc in JanuaryBar chart with 2 data series.The drop is less severe than feared....

Perspective...Boris Johnson's Europe adviser David Frost has said the 40 per cent drop in exports to the UK in the month after Brexit was caused by a "unique" set of factors that are "starting to unwind". Figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) today show that overall goods exports from the UK fell by £5.3 billion - 19.3 per cent. That was driven by a £5.6 billion, or 40.7 per cent, plunge in exports of goods to the EU.But while Brexit played a factor, Lord Frost insisted that stockpiling and lockdown were also behind the drop in cross-border trade. The newly-promoted Cabinet Office minister said that January's "unique combination of factors made it inevitable that we would see some unusual figures", but insisted that "caution should be applied". He added: "These effects are starting to unwind. The latest information indicates that overall freight volumes between the UK and the EU have been back to their normal levels for over a month now, ie since the start of February."...

Nissan to significantly boost renewable energy generation at its Sunderland plant. If approved, the 37,000-panel extension would result in 20% of the plant’s energy coming from onsite renewables - enough to build every Nissan LEAF sold in Europe. [...] #UKmfg

Minerve collaboration is fine. My son didnt pay for his tertiary education, he was sponsored by a world leading international company & that's precisely the way it should be. Private companies can fund whoever the fk they want. Tax payer revenues should support british nationals, the EU does FA for the UK it's about time we had a reciprocal arrangement, ffs the UK treat half the EU through the NHS surely we cant be expected to educated the EU as well??

Which companies do you think are interested in supporting apprenticeships when they have recently been given additional costs in paperwork, admin and haulage? Oh yes, we can all go and have apprenticeships at Deliveroo and Just Eat. Teach you how to drive a moped! Whoopy do!

LOL!

[minerve 2] 12/3/2021 13:03

"quality apprenticeship programs for British youth"

Oh yes, got to build more houses. More apprenticeships (read slave/unpaid labour) for brickies, plumbers and sparkies.

I don't know which planet you have been on the last four years Utricky but engineering companies (apart from narrow sectors) are leaving this country for the EU for exactly the reasons Brucie5 and I talk about.
