It's difficult not to agree with Simon Jenkins' assessment of the way in which Brexit is being played out - with the City and farming getting treated in a way that is different to other sectors. 

For me, the killer line is the assessment that agriculture accounts for 0.5% of British GDP, and manufacturing nearly 19%. But you'll never guess which sector has been promised an overwhelming level of post-Brexit support.

More Brexit uncertainty, or is this just the Guardian's editorial view taking precedence? 

Either way, the data suggests that manufacturing exports are at a year low, and some have inferred that this is the result of foreign buyers looking to find substitutes to UK suppliers.
