Read an article in a newspaper designed for people who want to overturn Brexit? No ta.
The strap line of TNE should be ‘thinking without braincells’ rather than thinking without borders.
You wanna read that crap, Maggie, you go ahead. But beware the implications it has on your powers of reasoning, eh.

These two paragraphs from the article do not hang together:
//In the spring, thanks to the support of the Prime Minister and Liz Truss, the government suspended the expensive physical checks on incoming goods from the European Union to address the rising cost of food. As well as saving officials at the border time and resources, this measure has also saved businesses in the wider economy at least £1 billion in avoided costs,…//
//So not implementing Brexit reduces inflation and is an example of this Brexit-delivering government’s efficiency, allowing the UK to save at least £1bn in costs that would otherwise have been racked up because of … Brexit.//
There was no need to implement physical checks on incoming goods from the EU post-Brexit. It was never a requirement of “implementing Brexit.” Until recently their standards were identical to ours courtesy of EU directives and there is no indication that they have widely diverged or been lowered. What is surprising is that it has taken a separate, newly created ministry to recognise this. It should have been obvious from the outset that no checks would be necessary.
Regrettably this is a symptom of the mindset that prevails in government and the Civil Service. So conditioned have they all become that there must be “regulation” (with lack of it seen almost as a criminal offence) that they cannot drag themselves away from it.
