Before brexit their biggest import and export partner was the EU. After, it wasn't anymore and I still scratch my head and wonder who thought this was a good idea back then.

Not to mention that their agricultural sector was relying heavily on migrant workers from poorer EU states. Now those are also mostly gone.
