inspection point, which they are now completing, that inspection point is based on what happens at rotterdamw absolutely being refuted by the french authorities themselves. and if they aren't being delayed... with respect, it's notjust about what happens at calais, it's about what happens at dover as well. the dover authority has also said... ijust wonder... can i finish this? the dover authority has also said, which they took no account of, but they will not stop anything coming into the uk that would have passed through previously, and any inspections will be done well away from the port and they'll prioritise things like fresh food. so with all that going on, you have to ask yourself a question about government. are we in the business of frightening people or are we in the business of actually trying to get this right? so many different officials and experts predicting a much, much more painful no—deal brexit than you appear ready to countenance, but let's park that for a moment and talk about the looming constitutional crisis the united kingdom faces. there are many senior figures inside

there was a reportjust a few days ago that the people of rotterdam are not ready for a no deal.s clear that even if things can be sorted out, checks on whether tabs have been paid, there are questions so asa have been paid, there are questions so as a british company, get your goods over the tariff order, it may still not be welcome in the eu market. vice versa, fishermen from belgium, the netherlands and france, they will legally not to be able to enter uk waters, so many people are now saying it will be fine and many things can be mitigated but imagine if we have these disputes, so i would still caution that against that experiment. finally, to what extent would you agree with boris johnson's warning to those mps in britain who are trying to stop no deal, that the more they carry on, the more likely they are to get a no deal? yes, well, he is addressing two crowds. 0n the one hand, the remainders in his own party. they could help him get closer to the majority. at the same time, he is of course addressing the european capitals and showing them that he is serious about no deal,

on the cards, and that would not be beneficial at all to the eu 27, particularly to places like rotterdams to say let him go do this negotiation and see how far he gets with the prospect of prorogation in the background ? with the prospect of prorogation in the background? the eu doesn't want no deal any more than people here like me wanted. so what about getting them to shift on those binding agreements that they said they couldn't look at it kudela the only reason we are in this territory is because of borisjohnson. back in march the eu extended the negotiating period for seven months so we didn't no deal. eu leaders have said if we want to extend it again beyond 0ctober, they would extend it again so we don't have to have no deal. the only person having no deal on the table as barnes the micro borisjohnson. no deal on the table as barnes the micro boris johnson. that's not true. theresa may was saying a while ago that no deal was better than a bad deal, and the deal she put forward did not go through parliament. that is not boris johnson was my fault that parliament couldn't sort itsel
