customs

New Tory chair claims we can use Brexit to establish free ports. Except we already can as EU members. They’re not even a clever idea.

Varadkar says there could be checks at ports on whole island of Ireland if UK crashes out. It’s not just Brexiters who believe in fantasy.

Again and again PM fails to take action on Brexit, preferring to run down clock in hope of a better hand. Meanwhile the country suffers.

Customs and immigration are hopelessly unprepared for no deal, or even an end deal that is still shrouded in mystery and confusion.

PM wavered on “my deal or no deal” line at summit. A flip-flop on Irish border seems in the offing. Might a People’s Vote be next?

Rees-Mogg’s plan still means border checks and infrastructure, and turns blind eye to smuggling. EU would reject it outright.

Deal or no deal, extra border checks will are bad news for UK-based manufacturers’ just-in-time supply chain models. Many could up sticks.

May has put herself between a rock and a hard place. It’s difficult to look at the list of challenges ahead without a sinking feeling.

Although EU has killed May’s original proposal, it has left wiggle room for a new version. Problem is any deal will be even more miserable.

Other 27 EU countries have marked PM’s Chequers homework, and there’s lots of red ink. Government will struggle to answer customs questions.

May’s Brexit banger is on fire, swerving wildly. Rees-Mogg has grabbed the wheel. We need a People’s Vote before MPs drive us over a cliff.

May’s negotiating proposal fails to address fundamental questions and suggests fantastically complex solutions to the problems of Brexit.
