The UKCA really was a Rees-Mogg /Britannia 2.0/ 'they need us more than we need them' wet dream.
Yeah I don't think it's going to be a good couple of weeks for poor Moggy, the next thing on the chopping block will be the The Retained EU Law bill, the mood music suggests that it'll be kicked into the long grass very soon too.

I saw the Shapps/Green announcement, and wondered if the topic would show up here.

Needless, British exceptionalism based red tape and considerable costs for a small, domestic market only certification. Makes as much sense as the Isle of Thanet having its own 'standards'.
One of the abiding successes of the EU was the adoption of Euro Norms, EN, that did away with petty national standards that were routinely based upon favouring local manufacturers and stifling competition.
[ENs did not stop French firms routinely requesting 'homologation'].
