What "high-value supply chain elements" were you thinking? Singapore as 1/12th the population of UK, it's easier for them to specialize in finance and a few high value manufacturing sectors and be wealthy per capita. An island of 67m people is going to have a hard time competing against europe with ~400m in half the size of US that can be networked together by rail/truck. I don't think EU is going to let UK challenge port of rotterdam and eat away at continental bloc logistic advantages. I also don't think US is going to throw many opportunities at UK when they need to keep east asian partners fed, after what US wants to reshore in NA for herself. IMO not much high-value scraps left.
