As I have tweeted countless times but the MSM news channels never seem to pick up on.
Shipments from GB to NI are logistically/customs/SPS wise the same as GB to ROI/whole EU.
They are equally moving across the EU customs & regulatory/SPS compliance border.

Yet UK Gov wants people to simultaneously believe it's a huge logistical issue (GB to NI)
and not an issue (GB to EU).
The *exact* same issues are occuring. So instead of Orwellian "Doublespeak" which is it?
A big problem or not a problem?
and not an issue (GB to EU).

It is of course fact that *both* are equally decimating or destructive to GB consignor & NI & EU consignee. .
As it would be again for NI to GB and EU to GB shipments but for political priorities (esp NI to GB) and not having the capacity, by a long way, to do so (esp EU to GB)

Instead GB is here painting a world smugglers target on itself..which also means the EU/world's governments will instruct their border forces to customs & regulatory/SPS process UK produce & products (re-emerging from bandit country) accordingly .depressing UK exports yet further
As well as, in addition, the world's governments
(and UK exporters trying to find some scrapings of solace on their home market)
increasingly contesting the unfair 'favouritism'
(easier passage) given to EU exports onto the UK market.

NB the difficulties brexit has placed on Ireland/EU.
IRL now has legal (treaties) duty to *rigorously* apply UCC & SPS controls on an EU *exterior* land border for the member states with *interior* borders.
Johnson agreed to move this *exterior* border for goods between GB & NI

In return Ireland conceded its GFA agreement for a "whole island economy" i.e. NI being in EU single market for goods (not services nor finance) only.
UK Gov clearly trying to 'compromise' Ireland further/out of EU single market with stepped up continental customs & SPS controls
