In a devastating blow for the Rejoiner movement, Facts4EU leaves them with nowhere to go
A major Facts4EU.Org and CIBUK.Org Two-Part Report
- Summary of export growth [Monday's report]
- The detailed evidence showing UK international trade is up by all measures [This report]
In this two-part landmark report, we provide the official facts
as well as comments from MPs and others
1. More detailed evidence
In today’s second part of our landmark report on Brexit Britain’s export performance following weeks of detailed research using the official sources, Facts4EU.Org and CIBUK.Org can present the definitive evidence that UK’s exports of goods and services since before the Leave vote and thereafter have increased – not fallen as the Rejoiners claim.
It doesn’t matter what time period you take, nor whether you use ‘current prices’, or ‘chained volume measures’ to take out the effect of price rises. In all cases Brexit Britain’s international trade is up.
Brexit Facts4EU.Org Summary
Brexit Britain’s international trade in goods and services has INCREASED :-
1. Using ‘Chained Volume Measures’ (to take out the effect of price inflation)
Comparing Sept 2015 (before the Referendum) to the same month (Sept) in 2022
- UP 18.0% - Sept 2022 compared with Sept 2015
- UP 14.6% - Sept 2022 compared with June 2016 when we voted to leave

Summary
Facts4EU.Org proves it doesn’t matter what period you take, UK exports of goods and services are UP. This applies using both Current Pricing and also when taking out price rises using the ONS’s Chained Volume Measures tables.
Commenting on this report....
In the Part One of this report on Monday we gave the views of the Rt Hon Sir John Redwood MP. Today we provide the observations of other experienced individuals.
Experienced company director and Deputy Chairman of CIBUK.Org, Professor Daniel Hodson, commented:-
"Britain continues to rise to the economic challenge and exploit the opportunities of Brexit.
"And the torrent of trade deals, impossible before, will further benefit our exporters. Ignore the gaslighting tactics of the Rejoiner propagandists.
"Brexit is working and there should be more good news to come."
Daniel Hodson was Finance Director of a FTSE 100 Company and the Nationwide Building Society, former President and Chairman of the Association of Corporate Treasurers, former CEO and Regulatory Responsible Officer of LIFFE, former director of the London Clearing House and of the Post Office, and lectured whilst Gresham Professor of Commerce on mutual organisations and governance. He has been involved in Brexit for over a decade as former Chairman of the OpCo of The People’s Pledge, Treasurer of Business for Britain, Director of Vote Leave, and Chairman of The City for Britain and the CityUnited Project.
UK international exports are up :-
- Despite the Remainers’ desperate attempts to overturn the largest democratic vote in UK history
- Despite the Remainer-Rejoiners’ desperate attempts then to prevent a successful Brexit
- Despite them talking the country down ever since
- And despite the EU’s attempts to put every obstacle in the way for UK exporters
Observations
The campaign to free the United Kingdom from the yoke of EU rule from unelected officials in Brussels was never about trade or the economy.
This is something the Remain campaign learnt to their cost in 2016 when they lost the Referendum despite the entire weight of the Establishment including HM Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and others threatening an economic Armageddon if the British people voted to leave the EU.
“It was about more than the economy, stupid”
For Brexiteers the Referendum was always about independence, sovereignty, democracy and freedom.
That said, the Rejoiners continue to present a wholly erroneous picture to the public of the effect that Brexit has had on the economy. Somehow they have managed to gloss over the fact that Brexit Britain has been the fastest growing economy in the G7 for the last two years.
In this two-part special report from Facts4EU.Org and CIBUK.Org we have shown how – no matter what time period you take – the UK’s exports of goods and services are up significantly.
Let’s not forget we were told these would “fall off a cliff” if we voted to leave. As we have shown, they have climbed – despite all attempts by the EU to make this as difficult as possible and despite all attempts by Remainer-Rejoiners to talk our country down.
Brexit Britain can stand tall and proud on trade as well as on many other levels – and we have barely begun to exploit our new advantages as a newly independent country.
