Further indication of what I mean by further peaks of disruption & chaos around 1/4 & esp 1/7
The Port of Liverpool could face significant disruption & delays later this year amid staffing shortages & a predicted *12*-fold increase in number of sanitation checks needed on imports
New rules & regulations governing sanitation checks on food & other products coming into the port after Brexit will mean a significant increase in workload for staff.
The number of employees at Mersey Port Health, the body in charge of carrying out the checks, needs to more than
double from 15 to 34. However, significant demand for similarly skilled staff across the country, as well as the specific skillset required, is leading to a struggle to recruit them in time. A report submitted to Mersey Port Health Committee said that if staff were not recruited

When we had a [Brexit] deal, I thought, we're saved all the rigmarole and hassle, it'll work sweet as a nut, but it hasn't happened," says Mr Flannigan. Instead, he says, it feels like the clock's been turned back 30 years
People really don't have a "sweet as a nut" clue do they?
Yes "30 years" and worse ..because you are now outside the Single Market & "worse" outside the Customs Union too . You're now trading under conditions more like Belarussia into EU without the customs & logistical capacity to handle the volumes. Your business will most likely fail
This was always so ..regardless of the "deal" esp with "87% of Berwick Shellfish's £1.7m sales go to France, Spain and Germany"
Next....
"The real test for me is the next two to three weeks, as inventory is depleted and orders increase," says Mr Munro.

Brexit also brings UK pork sector to standstill. Surprise eh? @RichardAENorth 🙄
UK pork processors are experiencing significant issues in exporting products to the EU, which has already brought part of the industry to a complete standstill, risking knock-on impacts on farm.
The widely seen footage of overzealous Dutch (*my edit: "no they were not"*) inspection officials confiscating ham sandwiches transported by British hauliers is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the UK pig sector is concerned.
The NPA’s processor members have reported that
excessive (*my edit: only for non-EU members*) bureaucracy associated with paperwork requirements are causing delays at Dover, Calais and other ports. With pork being a perishable product, these delays are making UK shipments unattractive to buyers in the EU, forcing processors

Remarkable the number of brexiters who are generally saying now that UK is subject to non EU/EEA member/3rd country rules ("diktat bureaucracy"/UK helped create) it is "justification" for leaving...to be subjected to the non member rules.. they detest
The mindset is incredible.
Reporting doesn't help in not pointing out here, Dutch seizing of ham sandwiches is same Brits can expect on entering any EU.. or EFTA country or Oz/USA/Canada ...*or NI* ...or upon returning to GB
(from 1/7 only with regards to EU/EFTA because HMG hasn't provided the capacity)
Which again leads me to the UK official 6 months "border facilitation" flow over compliance smugglers charter.. that UK media so reticent to report on ...at all.
Right now anybody bringing goods into GB does not need to lodge full customs declarations until 1/7 and

Eric 71 former shipyard worker from Newcastle
"There's a lot of average working guys that have done exactly what I've done and it's just not going to be possible now. I don't think anyone expected the rug to be pulled from under them so quickly."
Why so Eric? UK voted Leave EU
& then voted for Johnson as *impatient* to 'Get Brexit Done'?
BBC misleading reporting of "new rules" here and not the *accurate* *existing rules* for *non EU* citizens. The term "Freedom Of Movement" not used i.e. the thing @Conservatives have "proudly" stopped. I wonder why?
Fucking BBC. This is also where people should feel badly let down by @Keir_Starmer & @LabourParty . They should be explaining clearly to people like Eric why they can no longer enjoy the benefits of the richer and more priveleged. How a vote for leaving the EU meant this...
