I don’t know where you get that from. The problem isn’t related to any current inability for such technology to work. The main difficulty is that both jurisdictions have systems that do not talk to each other. How much easier would it be if for example, if you could raise an export health certificate in Northern Ireland or from other parts of the UK and to transmit this seamlessly across to the EU system? It’s just another IT project, not some pipe dream that cannot be implemented due to a lack of existing capability.

It would require an application programming interface, similar to what has already been put in place for New Zealand lamb exports. Defra claims that such a system could be up and running within ten weeks.

You guys are throwing everything negative at this to try to prove that Brexit won’t work, and you add to that your group ridicule and baiting to try to silence those with an alternative viewpoint. Typical left-wing tactics, always used when losing an argument. Why can some of you not engage in intelligent discussion rather than all this schoolboy idiocy?

I would just like to remind you that we are out of the EU and there will be no turning back. Now we have to look at the best ways of making this work, like it or not. It’s what we as a country voted for, after all.

There are still remainers in the Conservative Party who would have voted against a no deal.

And besides which, you had all these opponents lining up to suggest that the country didn’t vote for a no deal - and the last thing Boris would have wanted was a legitimate charge that he had been undemocratic.

No, this deal either has to be made to work in a sensible manner, or he will have to prove to thinking people that the deal was a bad one and should be ditched.

This appears to be a complete failure to understand that countries enter into trade deals for mutual benefit. It is not a Goliath and David contest. David can simply decide not to agree and walk away. No stones thrown.

I think your memory leaves things to be desired, jfman. Champagne problems?
