So, gone is all the meaningless talk of a hard Brexit, a soft Brexit, or a red, white and blue Brexit. We already know what Brexit means (it means Brexit, of course) – so today’s speech from the UK prime minster tried to inject a sense of progress: we have, apparently, moved to an “orderly Brexit”. What a relief. It was looking a little disorderly there for a while.

The Independent has published a good explanatory article looking at what it all might mean for importers and exporters. Although it might come as little surprise that the main effect will be higher prices all round.
