Umm, unless I've completely misunderstood, this whole Brexit thing is about a new relationship with the EU that should hopefully remain in place for at least as long as the previous arrangement...so, it being January 1st, that would make this Day 1. What were you expecting? To my mind "nothing" would be about right and will continue to be for at least another few weeks/months. At least allow us a breather - we can then get back to to not having much of a job and those nasty Europeans can finish celebrating Frogmanay and perhaps after that "nothing" might slowly turn into "something" after all.
As far as trade is concerned, just business as usual, but that was never what Brexit was about.
To my mind it was about extracting the UK from a slow painful death by a thousand cuts, mostly economic as EU share of world trade declining YOY. Also extracted us from an additional, unnecessary layer of Government, which always allowed our own representatives the cop out excuse of, "it's not me gov", blame Brussels. So now there is no hiding place for our own useful idiots and the Brucie bonus being that we have managed to cut off another of their gravy trains, a position within the EU machine. The next part of the plan has to be taking the knife to the House of Lords in order to be fully match fit to compete on the world stage.
However, there is a fly in the oinkment. If Trump gets swindled out of his landslide win, then Globalism wins on Globalist terms which renders us all screwed.
