- James O'Brien wonders why 'we are paying billions of pounds to make lives harder for British businesses to do business', deeming it an 'act of utter insanity'.
It comes as the National Audit Office (NAO) cautioned on Monday that a post-Brexit border control system intended to "take control" of Britain's borders lacks a clear timetable for completion.
The public spending watchdog highlighted that repeated alterations and postponements to the government's key scheme for implementing full import controls from the EU were causing uncertainty for businesses and additional costs for both the government and ports.
This warning comes as the £5 billion Brexit border checks system still awaits a definitive launch schedule.

In a year's time the Conservatives will be blaming Labour for this.
Voting the Conservatives out at the next election somehow doesn't seem enough for me. I want to see the cheerleaders of Brexit in prison.
" I don't know if anybody thought it would get as bad as this"
Well, looking from the EU all is very laughable in the UK at this point
Another Tory scandal! 😮
It doesn't end - Mr Ineos only wanted Brexit for the total energy market de-regulation he envisaged - He loves Monaco for its taxlessness and loves France for production that can be easily managed and sold into the single market -He wants the Brexit he paid for and not the Brexit reality he bought for all of us.
We shot ourselves in the foot by voting for austerity, with Brexit we blew our heads off.......
So INCOMPETENT the lot of them....GREEDY
My favorite act of Tory Stupidity had to be The Backstop at the Irish border. They jumped head first into Brexit with absolutely no clue how to solve one of it's biggest problems.
Self-imposed sanctions, an act of severe self-harm.
The ostriches haven't got their heads in the sand, they've got them stuck up their own arses.
never underestimate the stupidity of the public in all western countries to vote against their best interests always.
The gammon were actually thinking the eu would collapse without the uk in it... 🤦♂️
Bottom line, this is what happens when citizens don't pay attention to their government. This never would've happened if people were informed. ✌️
“Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the Single Market”
As a dutch person I blame radio and television very much for Brexit. For something as important as Brexit the BBC asked people and idiots like Rees Mogg for their opinion. Unfortunately their is a big difference between opinions and facts presented by experts. I followed many experts since 2016 and they gave facts and not opinions, but unfortunately the BBC gave them hardly and airtime. It is a duty of the BBC to give facts, and not opinions
Who voted for this nonsense?
£5 billion ??? That's worth it as we now can have loud vacuum cleaners , control our immigration 😂, have a speed sign in a tunnel in MPH not KPH , save our fishing industry 😂, save our farming industry😂, and saving the best to last we can have BLUE passports ( that are made abroad). You couldn't stop 😂 if this wasn't so serious.
No worries. The UK saves 350 Million a week because of this.
We have put ourselves in a hole and we dont know how to stop digging
