Post-Brexit border checks forecasted to cost almost £5 billion | LBC

- 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.
And explaining how awesome brexit was working until they were unjustly kicked out of office
what do you mean ? i thought they already were lol
They haven't finished blaming the EU for everything yet & they've still got Covid, the war in Ukraine, immigrants, the sick & disabled & a long list of other scapegoats to use to pass on the blame for their own incompetency.
Ites planned that way,
And these overwhelming numbers who support the Conservatives and will still voute for them. I can't find the words or logic to name this situation.
_" I don't know if anybody thought it would get as bad as this"_
Actually, we did ... and it's going to get a whole lot worse.
Yeah!
The point where I have been mistaken is the quality of government and ministers.
But the rest has so far been essentially as guessed, albeit somewhat slower.
I had for instance expected that Take Back Control would have meant border checks once the transition period was over.
@Moe So what are you all moaning about then? Are you never satisfied?
As bad as what? I dont know where you live but I see no 'bad' from leaving the EU. I see more job opportunities, I see less reliance on agency workers (mainly EU nationals seeking work as there was none in the EU) and more permanent employees. What is lacking is the will of the political class and the civil service class to grasp with gusto the advantages of being freed from EU bureaucracy, red tape and wasteful duplication... I mean why the need for TWO EU Parliaments except for a a change in the call girls and rent boys the EU politicians get to choose from. Lets be honest we still have a remoaner Parliament aggrieved they had to do the will of the people.
We still have a remainer parliament?
Strange that, the Tory MP's must have lied when they signed a pledge to support Johnson's getting brexit done. Either that or they've now changed there minds about brexit.
They evidently don't live where you do. Can you still get unicorns in Cloud Cuckoo Land?
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.
Labour won't be much better.
It's actually an observable fact, all the places run by a Labour government where the most restrictive during Covid and still introducing bills to reduce freedoms.
Digital ID in Australia for example, Melbourne or actually Victoria during the lockdowns.
Look at the madness in Wales, where police was charging people sitting in their own garden aso.
I'm a cheerleader for Brexit.
Best vote we ever made.
I agree. But as they're all wealthy the results of Brexit won't affect them.
What about all the people who had a democratic vote
Stephan5673, Tell us a benefit of Brexit.

That means democracy is working.
That said, there is now a massive majority to apply to join the EU so a referendum should be called. It will take years to join anyway as the UK isn't currently eligible due to its political structures. Might as well get the ball rolling.
Well, looking from the EU all is very laughable in the UK at this point
- You paid for border custom that doesn't exist,
- You buy land to build HS2 that will never be build,
- You pay for a Rwanda scheme when no one has traveled to,
- ect.
Keep us entertain ! 😂
Rwanda is worse, if anyone is sent to Rwanda we have to pay for their food and lodging fore the next FIVE years at an estimated cost of £140,000 per person.
PLUS we have to accept Rwandan immigrants in return
PLUS anyone sent to Rwanda has to be given Rwandan citizenship after which there is nothing stopping them getting on a plane back here AND we cannot then send them there again.
Funny the press don't talk about how the current clowns negotiated such an ridiculous scheme.
It's not funny and only few are laughing!

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.
Not just Tory. Never forget how eager Corbyn was to trigger article 50.
Oh well, they have their open border, now, don't they? Weirdly enough, they're not happy about thst these days.
The brexit plan never went any further than protecting tax avoiders and giving the Tories the ability to remove all our rights unhindered by outside influences, it was always about self protection for themselves & removing our protections that we spent 40 years helping to create when we were in the EU.
@@rb1062 That's a one hot mess of a take. The Irish (both Dublin and northern nationalists) are quite happy. It's the (minority of) people in Northern Ireland who insist they are BRITISH (and pro-Brexit) that are still complaining - because they DIDN'T want an open border

never underestimate the stupidity of the public in all western countries to vote against their best interests always.
Fully agree ! Never in the last eighty years people so willfully fell for populism and blatant lies.
More specifically, never underestimate the stupidity of the public in eastern England to always vote against their own interests..
If we had the likes of George IV or Louis XVI ruling us the English would be walking around admiring and praising their world-class statesmanship.
Sorry, but it's BARELY half of the public. Brexit was a 2% difference, as in 2% would have ended in a TIE, just like the US' 2016 election.
People need to get a grip and be willing to FIGHT ON!
The Tories and MAGAts have learned that lesson and have made it work!!

Border checks? I thought the EU would be falling over themselves in the rush to trade with the UK tariff free.
They said it was only fair they took the same hit on the cost of exporting as the UK was.
The border checks are ours, not theirs, because we have to, because of WTO rules.
It is tariff free (for the most part), so it is basically a freetrade agreement. It is not a customs union though, hence the checks.
@@vullings1968
Great let’s have a free trade agreement with the EU! The problem is that more and more businesses in the EU don’t want to trade with the UK! Maybe we can ask Papua New Guinea to trade shrunken heads with the UK?
@@vullings1968 Actually it is just if you do as the EU pleases, divert a bit and we slap you with tariffs on it.
Not only are the torries denying reality but labour is also tight lipped about the cost of these Brexit checks.
Because Labour can't change it. These checks are a direct consequence of the brexit-path taken in 2019. Labour, even if they were in govt right, can't stop it.
Stella Creasy has called it out many times in parliament.
@@stevewebster8527 Has starmer or Rainer called it out?
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
Farage became the know-all expert on Radio4. They seemed to have been intoxicated by him.
As a Dutch person, your comment is laughably inaccurate. The British mainstream media was notoriously pro Remain. BBC programmes such as Question Time overloaded their panels with pro Remainers and only one poor Leave supporter fighting his/her corner. On this very station, James O'Brien gave Jacob Rees Mogg a hard time during their interviews. Therefore your comment is based on your wounded feelings rather than the facts you profess to follow. In spite of the overbearing media's pro Remain stance, which was officially proven by the way, I'm very proud that 52% of us stood up to the EU. 52% of us had the guts and self respect to vote for stronger borders and self governance. Your national elections have shown that many of your countrymen are waking up and taking a stand, too. Maybe you could learn something from them instead of spouting inane misinformation about our media coverage.
“Absolutely nobody is talking about threatening our place in the Single Market”

Already forgotten, EU does not want another Swiss like deal, too much work/bother !
The Swiss want talks when they want something. The refuse talks when the EU want something.
I still cannot fathom how England thought it could make it on its own without a serious plan. At least the public is finally waking up. You still need a real constitution though.
And PR.

Hi James, I run the paint counter in an Irish Builders Merchant. We are a busy counter and have noticed the Brexit effect on one of our suppliers in particular. This supplier doesn't have an Irish warehouse. This means when we order from them it has to come from the UK. With the result, we can't tell when the order will arrive. So we are looking to get similar products from an Irish supplier. Thereby diminishing a British business.

Hi James. I'm no expert on Brexit other than foreseeing the devastation it would and has consequently caused, this was so obvious it was not rocket science, that said I moved to Germany in 2016 & lost 25% of my state pension due to the post Brexit exchange rate. Sadly I had absolutely no control over this other than to cast my vote to remain. For example that staggering & obscene figure of five Billion would have given 600,000 Doctors & nurses an £8,300 one off lump sum payment. Great informative show, keep it up James, thank you.
