London (CNN) Boris Johnson is living through the most politically difficult days of his life since becoming Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. With just 10 days until the end of a tumultuous year, Johnson is mired in colliding crises, some of which are entirely of his own creation. The most recent catastrophe to hit Downing Street comes in the form of the UK being cut off from the vast majority of its European neighbors. This means that British goods destined for France cannot leave the UK, which is of course a huge concern to British exporters. Arguably more worrying is the fear that it will discourage European exporters sending produce to the UK for fear of getting stranded in England.
