It was never called the festival of Brexit. That's just what some influential remainy guardian types labelled it to scoff and dismiss it. And it worked! So very predictable. It always has to be on their terms remember..
"Oh have you heard about this festival of brexit dahling?" "Oh how dreadful" blah blah blah
Slightly confusing article here, but it says some of the biggest projects aren't opening until this month so does seem rather too early to judge too.

FWIW, I think this See Monster thing in Weston Super Mare looks great. Only opened at the weekend apparently, which does rather highlight the futility of the article.

You make a fair point Peter. I think a comparison with most western european countries does make compelling evidence, as does the data in the article it factors in tens of thousands of exporters, not just one.
I also think we have too much of a bad news led media (irrespective of political position) in this country, although that is probably the same the world over too.
Nonetheless, you do make a fair point..let me see what I can do..
Pretty stark everyone else bouncing back with a V shaped recovery in April in that first graph while we stayed relatively flat.
I still don’t see an actual positive from it, surely we should be seeing something significant by now?
Trade deficit's little to do with brexit -
The EU's trade deficit is at record levels;
