@iainmartin1 @Simon_Nixon @TomMcTague @DavidHenigUK borders. are not. fudges. they have very precise processes that users have to engage + comply with, especially trade ones. there's a reason the US @CBP agent i was explaining #Brexit to laughed when i said just on tariffs alone UK Govt wanted total control but no border controls

@iainmartin1 @Simon_Nixon @TomMcTague @DavidHenigUK @CBP there's (also) a reason every business and business group in or anywhere near the currently-invisible border is at pains to explain how just having no infrastructure at the border isnt sufficient + that processes to enable that cant put them under as Govt's ND plans will

@iainmartin1 @Simon_Nixon @TomMcTague @DavidHenigUK @CBP and biz going under in NI/border region isnt the same as anywhere else in a way I dont even need to repeat - peace, prosperity, smuggling, compliance, enforcement - these are all words that bloody matter there. if u care about a) NI staying in Union + b) avoiding serious problems
