Exclusive-Britain no longer in top 10 for trade with Germany as Brexit bites
Britain is on course to lose its status as one of Germany's top 10 trading partners this year for the first time since 1950, as Brexit-related trade barriers drive firms in Europe's largest economy to look for business elsewhere.

Did u read the article? Goods from Germany have increased...
"that could not prevent a decline in bilateral trade, by 2.3% to 48.2 billion euros"
So we’ve sent more money to them and they’ve sent less money to us?

You also missed the part that said the drop could be temporary...
The point still stands though doesn't it? Germany car producers wanted a deal because we buy a lot from them... which has only gone up

Yes. Has It come as a surprise? German firms would have switched because it was easier and to be frank much quicker In the boom and bust covid world to get their goods.
As the article says once British firms get their house in order trade will return. As we found out the amount of British and European firms who weren't ready was staggering really

Who needs to export these days that's for the worker types, should have been born better.
That’s not what the article says. It says that it is hoped that this is temporary and that it is logistical.
But that point ignores the fact that the main issue is an increase in frictional costs. To the point where British firms have lost their comparative advantage.

There maybe something in this then; it’s an absolute mess how this has been handled. Not one small Port Health authority is ready for the increased checks, they don’t have the physical infrastructure or staff in place due to severe issues with the government releasing funds
