Political relations between UK-EU

He's Farage's former press secretary.

Irrespective of this, if it's true that freight is running at 90% of normal that's good news. The potential problem is whether 90% of traffic is equivalent to 90% of freight. I'm sure we'll find out in due course but the problems exporters and hauliers are reporting would suggest the 90% figure just relates to numbers of lorries and there really shouldn't be many delays if many have nothing to declare after returning empty from the UK to the EU after dropping off their imported loads.

As we all know, imports haven't been unduly hit in terms of delays at the border because we're not starting to check them until April.

Does he work at Dover?
The scare stories vanish by the day, it's a shame some just won't let go but it's
amusing.

Why does it matter where he works?
He's an alt-right pro-Brexit mouthpiece cherry picking stories to suit the Brexit narrative. The fact that you appear to be hanging on his every word is a little sad.

Lol, when yet another prediction goes down the tubes like all the rest, it's let's
see if it will be like in the future what I said it might be like, when I was convinced it was a distinct possibility.
Gotta love this place.

We have been inundated with scary stories about the dreadful state of the country's trading capability. Now we've shunned the warm embrace of Ursula and her minions, here's something from what many of a squeamish or delicate disposition may need to prepare for.
The most Brexity of Brexiters, undoubtebly a racist, sexist actually claims all is well at Dover...

That guido bit is very misleading, “EU trade back to 90%” - it doesn’t mean that.

What prediction's that?
I guess you're right because I thought exports would only be down around 10% not 68%, although in reality I didn't make any predictions on here.
