The Express is sometimes hilarious in its desperation to stick the boot into the EU in the guise of cheerleading Brexit. You can really smell the stink of fear pouring off this story.
Get this: the UK will have a direct ferry to Morocco. Yes, Morocco! Wonders will never cease.

What's interesting is the justification given is to avoid multiple awkward border crossings.
That is the exact same reason why Ireland now has DOZENS of new direct ferry links to the EU, something the Express are staying strangely silent about.

Back to the original story: it offers the prospect of making trade equivalent to 0.3% of our EU trade a little bit smoother.
Three cheers, plus another for luck.

Also worth noting that we didn't need Brexit to set up a direct route. Could have done so at any time.
Of course, before Brexit, the only awkward border crossing was the one to enter the EU.
But now there are 2 tricky crossings:
Morocco<->EU
EU<->UK
