Lol...I just wondered how often I had tweeted brexit much less (choice) for much more (cost) out of SM/CU warnings
after "suitable period of upheaval shortages"
(twitter search) as follows...
found these tweets back to Sep 2020
..I know I was tweeting long before that though

"Frost will tell the Tory conf. on Monday “the long bad dream of EU membership is over”
From a lad of Leeds 1960s working class background EU membership over my adult life has brought me increasing freedoms, rights and ease of trade across our continent. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
I shouldn't take it personally...but it saddens me that all I have taken so much for granted is robbed from a new generation ...
& the country just seems to accept it...
or even cheer it on with continued support for the cabal of crooks, charlatans & ignorant idiots in Government

Basically
1/ not enough UK drivers to drag loads
(inc containers from outside EU) from ports.
Nor enough customs/SPS clearance staff.

2/ meaning port discharge areas/clearing agents warehouses full to over capacity
3/ meaning LoLo service hauliers continental side won't start their journies.
& Container ships will "blank" (bypass) UK ports & discharge UK boxes on the continent
4/ meaning more UK destined cargo (UK essential imports) is perversely ever more reliant on EU drivers running through EU door to UK door on driver accompanied RoRo services

It *is* shameful of the whole UK establishment in not pointing out (despite many brexity claims the GFA has nothing to do with the EU) that the stability of Ireland was very largely made possible by the EU (SM/CU)..in that both countries joined the Single Market together in 1993
paving the way for that wholly open
...only made possible by shared CTA/shared customs (union) territory/shared (single) market standards territory...
no target 'furniture' nor officialdom border

I have tried to use analogies before for UK leaving the EU but perhaps my son has come up with the best one. Imagine Yorkshire wanted to leave UK's customs territory and its shared market standards territory;
to take 'control of its borders' 1/
to create a separate customs territory & separate market standards territory to the UK union single market. Further Yorkshire wanted no close alignment at all on standards nor tariffs. Only the people of Yorkshire were allowed to live/work/study/retire etc in Yorkshire 2/
the rest of UK needed a visa to do so. The UK therefore had no choice, but to control its borders with Yorkshire with reflected visa requirements & for fear of Yorkshire's lower substandard food etc & lower tariffed goods being smuggled across the borders into UK territory. 3/

From a friend: you'll love this one @CaptainSwing666 @johnrhpope @Petie42885201 @AnniHawk @Lady_stormrider @BrianPointy @andy_astewart @markrowantree @brianhalford @BwbwBear @OH_Man_Blue @mf5725 @AlbanationSimon @Setanters "Thought you might be interested in this nugget…
after spending an arm and a leg getting carnet in EU (vehicle had left Spain, but managed to get Antwerp based company to use a Barcelona company to do it and courier there - think that part probably not 100% legit! but nobody asked my husband for the carnet.
Calais border force didn’t want to see it, said P&O would check, they didn’t. Border force guy at Dover said “what’s a carnet?”
Exploding head Husband said “I haven’t been through this rigmarole to not have someone look at the damn thing!”

Not "news" to me
(was always out of SM&CU regardless of any "deal" guaranteed)
but a confirmation of what’s doing the rounds - received today: h/t @challifour
"Firstly I would like to thank you for your ongoing support and patience since January.
As I’m sure it is no secret to anyone, we have been under immense pressure and the challenges just keep mounting. I like to think we can all agree that Freight Transport have risen to the task well, having the understanding from customers has been just what we have needed
to get into the swing of things and maintain the highest possible standard of service. I have tried to leave customers alone whilst we all get used to the post Brexit way of doing things, but now it is time for my depressing Brexit updates to start once again as there is
