UK-EU deal – 'just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in'

It seems that a lot of ink and paper may have been wasted, with the UK realigning with its closest – and largest – trading partner, the EU. After the chaos of the Brexit years, the now year-old Labour government secured what is being described as a “last-minute” deal over a “significant reset to relations” with Europe. Fuller details of the agreement – which largely surrounds fishing rights and checks on sanitary and phytosanitary goods – can be found in this piece from The Guardian. What it means for supply chains has yet to be assessed; like its predecessor agreement, consider this something of a work-in-progress – when there is some material progress, we’ll swing back around on it.  “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in”.
