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 [This report]
- The detailed evidence showing UK international trade is up by all measures
In this two-part landmark report, we provide the official facts
as well as comments from MPs
1. Your summary report
In today’s landmark summary report, 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 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.
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
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)
- UP 9.3% - Since the vote to leave on 23 June 2016 - UP
- UP 2.6% - Since we left the EU’s ‘transition period’ on 31 Dec 2020 – UP

2. Using ‘Current Prices’ – actual value of exports in each time period
- UP 41.0% - Since the vote to leave on 23 Jun 2016 - UP
- UP 16.0% - Since we left the EU’s ‘transition period’ on 31 Dec 2020 – UP

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.
MPs who believe in democracy and being truthful to voters have stood up to be counted
Facts4EU and CIBUK contacted MPs for their comments on this landmark report. Today we give the views of one of these, the Rt Hon Sir John Redwood MP. In Part Two we hope to provide the observations of other senior politicians.
The Rt Hon Sir John Redwood MP comments exclusively to Facts4EU.Org and CIBUK.Org
"Great work again from Facts4EU.org.
"Our trade is up after leaving the EU. Remainers thought it was all about trade and made false gloomy predictions. For optimistic and positive leavers it is about so much more than trade. It is about getting our country back.
"Every day I am glad we are now free to govern ourselves again. It would also be good to make and grow more at home to cut our import dependence on the EU."
The Rt Hon Sir John Redwood MP, 12 Dec 2022
In Part Two of this report
In the second part of this report we will show the detail of the key summary information above.
Observations
We confidently predict the Rejoiners will continue to ignore these official facts
Pro-Brexit organisations such as Facts4EU.Org, and CIBUK.Org and all their affiliated organisations, are not naïve after so many years of fighting the anti-democratic forces who have sought - and are still seeking - to overturn the largest democratic vote in British history.
We know that it almost doesn’t matter what official proof we provide to debunk the Rejoiner movement’s claims. They will continue to put out wholly misleading and false statements. And they will do so with impunity because of their friends in parts of the media, in the Establishment, and with the assistance of millions of pounds in funding their organisations from a foreign billionaire.
Brexiteers are positive people
Given the analysis in the previous section, there are some who wonder when we will quit. Well we have news. We Brexiteers are not quitters, nor are we willing to stand back and see the country - and particularly our entire younger generation - being brainwashed into believing Brexit has been a disaster and that the United Kingdom is better off rejoining the EU.
As we have shown above, one of the core tenets of the Rejoiner belief system is completely false. In modern parlance this is known as “fake news”.
At its core Brexit was – and still is – about freedom, independence, and sovereignty
One thing Remainer-Rejoiners have never understood is that Brexit was never about economics, nor trade. Remember Nissan threatening to pull out of Sunderland and relocate to the EU (they haven’t) and nevertheless Sunderland voters giving a resounding ‘yes’ to Brexit in the EU Referendum?
At its core Brexit was – and still is – about freedom, independence, and sovereignty. In today’s landmark report, however, we have rolled our tanks onto the Rejoiners’ lawn. If they want to talk about trade all the time, making wild, unsubstantiated, and false claims, they must expect to be called out.
This is what we have done today and this is what we will finish in Part Two.
After this we will happily take them on when it comes to the most important issues – who makes your laws, who decides who comes into your country, where your country’s money should be going and why, who decides your country’s foreign and defence policies, who can come and scoop up all your fish, who decides policies and vaccines when there’s a pandemic, whether you can vote the ‘powers that be’ out of office, and so much more.
Now THAT will be interesting…
We must get reports like this out there
Reports like the one above take far longer to research, write and produce than many people realise. If they were easy, readers would see other organisations also producing these daily.
However, there’s little point in the Facts4EU.Org team working long hours, seven days-a-week, if we lack the resources to promote them effectively – to the public, to MPs, and to the media. This is where you come in, dear reader.
