Breakfast factlet

I read in yesterday's Guardian over today's breakfast that, for the first time for more than eight years, we recorded a trade surplus - trade in goods and services - in June just passed.

Heartening that such a thing should happen at all - but we should not get to excited as this surplus is, in large part, a bounce back from stockpiling for some Brexit deadline.
