"The calls for the UK to join the EU Customs Union make no sense from an economic point of view. But what about the claims that Brexit hit UK trade & that we are still seeing the effects Those claims are not supported by the latest data from the ONS. A🧵:"

"Looking at chained volume (i.e. constant price) data (Q4 2024 to Q3 2025) compared to 2015-16 (Q4 2015 to Q3 2016): Total Exports XXXX% up. Total Imports XXXX% up. Both far outpace real-terms GDP growth of 9.5%"

"Perhaps you prefer to start in the year before we officially left the EU in Jan 2020. Okay so let's compare to 2018-19: Total Exports XXX% up. Total Imports XXX% up. Again both outpace GDP growth of 5.3%"

"But we only left the Customs Union in Jan 2021. So here is the growth since 2019-20: Total Exports XXXX% up. Total Imports XXXX% up. Still outpacing GDP growth of 15.6%. (note the obvious Covid effects but comparison relative to GDP growth still interesting)"

"Whatever your comparison point UK trade growth has exceeded GDP growth & is continuing to boom. Of course within the total figures we have seen a relative shift from EU to non-EU trade as you would expect given the various non-EU trade deals struck by the UK"

"There has also been a shift from goods to services. But it is not clear how much if any of the reduction in goods trade is caused by Brexit given these X factors: X. Some re-exported goods to EU countries are no longer included in the exports data"

"That makes the counterfactual impossible to know for certain. But given the (non-Brexit) headwinds that have hit UK goods exports the increase in overall trade post-Brexit is even more notable"

". Would UK trade have grown even more had we stayed in the EU We can't completely rule it out but seems unlikely given how much UK trade has outpaced GDP growth. More likely is that the net effect of Brexit has been if anything to increase total UK trade"
