Alright, back-of-the-napkin time;

The UK exported ~122 billion USD to the US in 2018. However, it has a negative trade balance with the US of nearly 20bn usd.

The UK exported ~360 billion USD to the EU in 2018. It also has a 67bn usd trade deficit with the EU.

So, in the Mike Pence situation, you'd have to max out a 400% increase in trade with the US to fully take over the export to the EU. Or you'd have to make some kind of mix of EU and US trade happen, but that does need to include a lot of poo poo the world wants to buy - and as the deficits show, nobody's queuing up desperately for UK-made stuff or services.

So, if you three- or four-fold the US-UK relationship and didn't adjust the balance of payments, the UK would be 80bn USD behind per year in a US-UK trade deal. That's a lot of pork pies.

We'd appreciate it if you all could send us some of that Cadbury Dairy Milk you're always going on about.

Dog Therapy: Shockingly Good
Cross posting from doomsday economics:

Two interesting tidbits I picked up today, although I can't give sources for doxxing / inadequate Google fu reasons.

First, at the moment carbon credits are going for €50/ton in the UK energy sector, which is ~60‰ of the total price of fossil fuel generation. Wonder how much the disaster capitalists stand to gain from crashing out of the EU and not having to deal with those pesky things anymore...

Second, the UK window to reclaim PPI has just closed after paying out about £36 billion. The bank of England has said that this has translated into the same economic impact as £150 billion of quantative easing.

If the whole reason the economy hasn't crashed yet is a QE effect from banks being forced to pay back customers they ripped off I will laugh my arse off.

Do none of them read it out to him because they expect that saying "You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court." to him might be used by the prosecution by the end of the year?
