In fairness to Lance, the government has absolutely failed to modernise and upscale customs and border systems - and he is right to be outraged, but either way, he will still experience the full array of third country controls - all of which are a consequence of leaving the EEA.
But by the same token, the Brexit Party was at every point in the process demanding a walkout - which would have landed him with disruption worse than at present with tariffs that would have killed exports anyway.
At best, though, even if those "teething troubles" are resolved, food produce is still looking at an inspection rate of 20%, all at random, the the SPS paperwork, along with finding a responsible importer is a fixed feature of being outside the single market.
could and should have known this. It was in the Notices to Stakeholders. Moreover, he had the research facilities of the European Parliament at his disposal which he could have used for the benefit of his entire industry. So what was he doing with his time there?
None of what is happening at the border comes as any surprise to us because well in advance of the referendum we produced a plan, looking at the consequences of each option. The Brexit Party, despite its massive resources, elected not to do this kind of groundwork.
I am working on it, lobbying ministers. There is a failure here amongst officialdom not to be ready with certification from Jan 1. It should be been simple, seamless and inexpensive. It's not rocket science. Needs addressing urgently @michaelgove @BorisJohnson

The BBC boat is not about to be rocked by its newly appointed Chairman; but the blame for which lies with a blustering, but backsliding & bottling Boris Johnson.
My latest for
"The BBC needs a chairman committed to demolishing its institutional groupthink. . . . . . .it isn't going to get one, thanks solely to the timidity & duplicity of Johnson and his flaccid government"
As pretty much confirmed by @Madz_Grant's perceptive sketch of the new BBC chairman's not so much grilling as gentle warming by an unthreatening DCMS Select
"He fluently deployed trendy corporate jargon and phrases like 'matrix of diversity'. The licence fee, he added, was the 'least-worst' model, although 'when we next get a chance to review ... it may be worth reassessing'."
Doesn't exactly suggest a radical reformer, does it?
Already clear from Maitlis' continued blatant editorialising, despite new #BBC CEO's instruction to curb it, that Davie's executive writ barely runs to his own office door.
Sadly, BBC's new chairman looks unlikely to change that.

Did you know that MARCH for TRUMP Day 1.06, 2021 falls
894 months, 23 days exactly from
the time of @realdonaldtrump's Birth??

A few coincidences Re: Mike Pence

were Interdasting.
Does anyone know how long Michael Richard Pence had been using an "8" preceding the Signature from his time in Indiana? Haven't a clue.

https://t.co/7xDlptHXgO
Like everyone else Trusting the Plan,
....just as eager to see how the next 16 days play out.
But if TRUMP is the beacon, shouldn't he be worried?
Or not.
The 2016 VIDEO was all about WE, THE PEOPLE reclaiming our governance.

Did anyone catch the :03 seconds by POTUS in his Tweet
Re: the Wed 11.00 am Protest March for Trump???
The 11.3 ode quite possibly back to the Deep State even??

@lornarichardson Big plus one for the @UkNatArchives research guides - they're my go to for any new topic - obviously, for place-based work if there's an @VCH_London entry available (and we know that the east of England is a gap) then that's a useful place to start. Many are on @bho_history 1/x
@UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history Along with lots of other material (there are some useful subject guides for @bho_history here: https://t.co/loHRv7JvZq - I wrote the Local History one). 2/x
@UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history If you have access, a simple placename search on the Bibliography of British and Irish History will almost certainly pull up anything published in local and national journals. Declaring an interest, I'm a section editor on that, but it is invaluable. 3/x
@UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history With @CHPPC_IHR we've put together some online training/seminars/events which address some key themes (and there are more on the way; please let me know if there's a particular topic you'd like covered): https://t.co/ujY5aYIek8 4/x
@UkNatArchives @VCH_London @bho_history @CHPPC_IHR My colleagues @IHR_Library have put together an excellent guide to free/open access online resources (some grouped under local history but many more are applicable):
