Sterling is in crisis and there’s no sugar-coating the reason why
Chris White is doing a roaring trade. The patriotic fervour surrounding the Jubilee has boosted sales for the chief executive of England’s biggest vineyard, Denbies Wine Estate.

But while his Surrey wine is in demand, his ability to produce it has been dealt a heavy blow by Brexit. Even though he does not sell to the EU, he relies on the established French and German wine industries to supply and service his equipment. And due to Brexit red tape, some businesses on the Continent will no longer deal with him. Others — partly reflecting the higher costs of doing business with Britain — have put their prices up so much that White can’t afford the new kit that will help his enterprise grow.

So, rather than import the 5,000-litre tanks he needs, he must hire smaller ones in the UK on expensive short-term contracts that will eat into his profits. Meanwhile, delivery times from the EU are now so unreliable that just-in-time supplies of bottles and corks no longer work. Instead, he buys the whole year’s supply in one batch. That’s a cashflow headache, and now he needs new sterile warehouse space to store the bottles for half the year when they are not needed.

This vignette of inefficiency is repeated in small businesses up and down the UK, and goes some way to explaining why the pound is so much weaker than comparable currencies.

A currency’s strength is, in large part, a reflection of the market’s view on the productivity and strength of the economy behind it. And, since Brexit, sterling has been valued at a discount to its peers because the world’s investors believe British enterprises will not be as productive as they would have been.

Worryingly, despite a weak pound making our goods cheap for foreign buyers, exporters are also struggling. First-quarter figures last week showed exports of food and drink to the EU were down 17 per cent, or £614 million, on pre-Covid levels. Exports to non-EU countries increased by 10.7 per cent, or £223 million, but not enough to offset the European decline.

And that is before we get to labour shortages, which are also stopping businesses trading to their full potential. For reasons still baffling the experts, Britain seems to have had more people quitting the workforce than comparable countries. Before Brexit, it would have been easier for employers to make up the difference with EU workers.

Britain is, in short, undergoing a shock to the supply side of its economy that, as the pandemic retreats, appears largely of Brexit’s making.

As a result, the pound is now trading at a 16-month low against its peers on a trade-weighted basis. Research from Panmure Gordon — one of the less hysterical Brexit bears — shows there are more short-sellers lining up to bet against it than at any point since August 2019, when Boris Johnson looked set to crash us all into a no-deal Brexit. Fears of a trade war over the Northern Ireland Protocol are not helping.



Bank of America loudly declared last week that the pound was beginning to resemble a currency from an emerging market — Brazil, say, or Kenya.

Hyperbolic, probably, but it is true that sterling no longer behaves like the hard currency it once was. When the US Federal Reserve raises interest rates to tame inflation, it does so against the backdrop of a strong economy — so the dollar rises, too. Since December, the Bank of England has hiked rates four times — but the pound has barely reacted. This is largely because of the world’s dim view of our bungled Brexit.

Partygate, policy drift, and the other petty messes tangling up ministers who took us out of the EU, should not make us lose sight of that. Their mishandling of Europe has hobbled wealth-creators, as the sickly pound testifies.

 

Hahahaha!!!!! Floundering gammon. And the state of it - goes on about the BBC, but the BBC were the ones who edited it out of all later items.

'It was left-wing protestors'.

I haven’t had a drink or a drug for 20 years. You, on the other hand, have never once gone 20 hours without making some sort of public display of your spectacular stupidity. You stupid ****.

 

It’s not a game of Top Trumps, you stupid brain dead ****ing retard ****.

 

Says the ****stain that attempts to engage in conversations with statues on benches.

Go figure.

 

Any chance of having these ‘questions’ in English, please? You are just a Remain Robot.

Remainers = sheep

 

Surely you can do better than this dross in your “I hate Boris” campaign? What you really need is some facts, not some Leftie cretins on Twitter. Start by not regurgitating so many minority Leftie loser cretins on Twitter.

 

It's all predicated on the grossly simplistic view that if you laugh at the extreme left for being thick and ignorant, you must somehow be a Boris fan/tory.

It's been explained to them time and again for nearly a decade, but they'd have to admit to getting it wrong all this time to change, so they just continue to argue against their own delusions.
