According to the BBC, plans are being drafted within the shipping industry to accommodate EU border checks in Great Britain for goods heading to Northern Ireland.
A leaked document indicates prime minister Boris Johnson’s plans to implement Brexit by December next year do not allow sufficient time to provide the infrastructure required for the deadline.
Prior to the 2016 referendum on EU membership, net migration from the bloc was at a 219,000 peak. Since the British electorate made the decision to leave, this number has been in steady decline. It is now at its lowest level since 2003, less than a quarter of the 2015 high.
Ever since the referendum of 2016 saw the British electorate make the decision to leave the European Union, UK industry has set about planning and preparing to operate in accordance with the will of the British people. However, little over three years later, the British public is no closer to knowing what Brexit might look like, nor whether it will happen at all.
Elections can be a great barometer of society and we know that, in many ways, Britain is changing. Votes are now split between ‘leave’ and ‘remain’ as well as traditional party views. Age group is now a bigger predictor of which way somebody will vote than class. Labour is running on the most radically left-wing manifesto in decade and is seeing considerable success.
Asking somebody in Britain where they plan to go on holiday, the range of responses is usually quite wide. Perhaps Spain for a bit of sun, or the south of France for great food.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Jeremy Corbyn presented a “confidential” Brexit report which he says disproves Johnson’s claim there will be no border down the Irish Sea if his Brexit deal is passed.
