The huge hole in the government's No-Deal Readiness Report, that @michaelgove has published today, is that it acknowledges that Northern Ireland cannot be made ready for a no-deal Brexit while the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly are in abeyance, confirming...
that civil servants in Northern Ireland simply don't have the powers to do all that is necessary, but it says precisely nothing about what legislation may be necessary ahead of 31 October to give civil servants the relevant powers, or to impose more direct ministerial control...
from London on Northern Ireland. All this would have implications for peace and stability on the island of Ireland, and for whether the Good Friday Agreement is being honoured. Slightly odd that no MP is asking Gove about this, because it is hard to think of any Brexit issue...
that is more important.
