Brexit news: £113bn wiped off services exports as No 10 silent on Boris Johnson’s wedding break

A staggering £113bn has been wiped off exports of UK services as a result of Brexit - even before the sector was left out of the final trade agreement, new research suggests.

Industries from IT and finance to business and professional services are among some of the hardest hit since the 2016 vote to leave, experts at Aston University in Birmingham found.

Meanwhile, thousands of people are at risk of losing their rights to live and work both in the UK and on the continent because they are yet to apply for post-Brexit residency.

British citizens in France, Malta, Luxembourg and Latvia have until 30 June to apply for settled status. And thousands of EU nationals and their families in the UK are appealing for urgent help with applications.

Elsewhere, No 10 is refusing to say where Boris Johnson went for a short break after he and wife Carrie got married on Saturday. A Downing Street spokesperson said: “The PM spent Sunday and Monday away but is now back working.”

Asked where the newlyweds travelled, following suggestions that they were to visit the seaside, the spokesperson added: “It is a personal matter so I won’t be getting into any further detail.”
