    Neil, I take your point to a certain extent but, in fairness to Charlie, he was making "how is the process of import/export actually going to work?" noises well before the General Election and his recent debates and 'summits' in Westminster.

    However, I don't feel he's being incisive enough; "you ought to put money aside" sounds only like a CYA stance for when, in the absence of EU27 agreement to a transitional period, it all goes pear-shaped in 2019. If one believes, as he does, that a transport park is required, then one should calculate backwards from 2019 to when construction must start. His frequent questions in the House should then be: 'what precisely have you done in the past 24 hours to be ready with the transport park - and don't bother replying that you're considering options because it's already way too late for that?' OK, so of course there is a contingency; if you read what the HMRC CE told Charlie and co., one option is to say "blow customs, just wave it all in".
