Brexit Deal Falls Short: UK Regains Few Pre-Brexit Benefits

UK-EU Trade Deal: Both sides of the deal aimed to make sure the other is also suffering from it. This is not a win-win agreement, but a "lose-lose" outcome. A Thin Veil Over Brexit's Economic Impact. Brexit Agreement Leaves UK with Limited Gains and Lost Opportunities.
The new Brexit deal has been finalized, but it does not bring significant benefits to the UK. The deal merely restores a few of the advantages that the UK already had before leaving the EU. Therefore, some wonder about the purpose of the deal.

On December 24, 2020, the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom (UK) reached a post-Brexit trade deal, called the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). The TCA outlines the future economic and trade relationship between the UK and the EU. It came into effect on January 1, 2021, after the end of the Brexit transition period.

The TCA aims to reduce barriers to trade in goods and services between the UK and the EU. However, it does not cover all aspects of the pre-Brexit relationship, and some sectors, such as financial services, are not covered by the deal.

Some analysts have noted that the TCA is a relatively narrow agreement, and that the UK has lost some of the benefits of being a member of the EU. However, it is also argued that the TCA provides the UK with greater flexibility to pursue its own trade deals with other countries.

Overall, the lose-lose TCA represents a compromise between the UK and the EU, and is seen by some as a way to avoid a "no-deal" Brexit scenario that could have had significant economic and political consequences.

Both sides of the deal aimed to make sure the other is also suffering from it. This is not a win-win agreement, but a "lose-lose" outcome.
