Anyone else clocked Rees-Mogg making an apology through gritted teeth re: his statement there would be no queues at Dover?

Taking back control clearly doesn't extend to taking full accountability.
Yeah, gritted teeth was probably the wrong expression.
Non-apology is better. Bloke is a snake oil salesman ultimo.
Sunak will have been well aware what he was saying. Truss has been banging the rip up the NI protocol drum for months and I think Sunak was making a point to remind people of this and to posiion himself as a man of honour. It is also, I think, a further dig at Boris Johnson.

Welcome back Wayne
So you want Sunak as PM then…..
Nobody wants any of these people as PM Pete. Sunak probably the best of two horrendous options, and both horrendous options better than the absolutely barrel scraping fiasco of a man that went before them.
The answer to an abomination of a Tory isn't another abomination of a Tory. It's someone that isn't a Tory.
So are marvellous few weeks in planet Brexit will probably see the U.K. scrap any checks on food products and move to pass it over to industry and let them self regulate.
The government has overseen a spend of in excess of £500m pounds on staffing and infrastructure over the past year or 2, only to pull the plug at the last minute.
There’ll be mass redundancies around the country, as people employed to undertake EU checks are now not needed.
Infrastructure projects, on prime land within dock estates and costing millions to build, have been mothballed with specific instructions to “leave them” or “pay us back if use them”.
This autumn will see the release of a paper on how we’ll be handling the border moving forward, which I suspect will involve self regulation.
This is a monumental catastrophe that will cost the taxpayer millions

Stop moaning. There's already a solution in place, which is "blame France and obfuscate", which I presume answers any questions or concerns you have. Am I doing this right @peteblue?
Project Fear...
Oh I’m in fear, 100%
There's going to come a point where ideology is going to hit reality. I'm just hoping the reality doesn't hit people as hard as I worry it will..

@nsno-chris is it Jan when the grace period stops and the increase in checks and paperwork properly kicks in?
From the EU perspective? i.e. those stopping our products
