So, a billion spent in direct costs, god knows how many billions in indirect costs, just to make sure trade declines by 15%. Oh, and we are still nowhere near implementing a full customs border regime. Well done, chaps. Bravo.

Talking of our border, the National Audit Office just published a report on the state of the UK border with the EU following Jan 2021. Seems we will need a few more billions if we want to keep trade down.
