Original Note:
The report does not in fact show this, but the paper has disingenuously chosen to headline the non-inflation adjusted figures. The IEA report clearly states in Table 3 that UK exports to the EU are down -7.2%, and non-EU exports are down -9.8% over the time period mentioned. https://iea.org.uk/media/brexit-leaves-uk-trade-unscathed-finds-new-iea-report/#:~:text=UK%20goods%20exports%20rose%20by,countries%20over%20the%20same%20period.
