Re: Britain outside the EU
You have to admire (not really) Rees-Mogg’s brass neck in claiming £1 billion in savings/avoided costs by suspending something we only introduced because we left the EU…

The trade border is one example of how government efficiency eases inflation. In the spring, thanks to the support of the Prime Minister and Liz Truss, the government suspended the expensive physical checks on incoming goods from the European Union to address the rising cost of food. As well as saving officials at the border time and resources, this measure has also saved businesses in the wider economy at least £1 billion in avoided costs, preventing shortages of goods and delays in already strained supply chains.
