The government has privately conceded there will be post-Brexit checks on goods crossing the Irish Sea, months after Boris Johnson insisted there would be no such trade barriers.

In a letter to the executive office in Stormont the government confirmed there would be border control posts in three ports, Belfast, Warrenpoint and Larne.

Declan Kearney, one of the two junior ministers in the executive office, the regional equivalent of the Cabinet Office in London, confirmed the details at a select committee session in Belfast on Wednesday.

He told members of the local assembly that officials had briefed the executive on Monday.


“The sum total of that, and without breaching executive confidentiality … [is that the] British government has confirmed it will urgently put in place detailed plans with the executive, which does include the physical posts at ports of entry,” said Kearney.

The prime minister agreed checks on goods entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain in a breakthrough meeting in Wirral with his Irish counterpart, Leo Varadkar, last October.

However he was then accused of misleading the public after he was recorded on video telling local businesses weeks later that there would be no checks.

If any business was asked to fill in extra paperwork, they should telephone the prime minister “and I will direct them to throw that form in the bin”, he told them.

let’s face it posters with near on 50k posts must be at best eccentric types, but more likely whackos with otherwise pretty empty or dysfunctional lives. Us normals can see that as clearly as your mate Ben is likely to be an F1 driver.

We see the post count and for Christ’s sake you pr!ck, go out, get some fresh air.......stop touching yourself and get a girlfriend. I bet that’s what their mum’s tell ‘em.

Following this shambles of a governments handling of the virus situation, I can only imagine their handling of Brexit negotiations with the EU, who we have 'technically' left, but still subject to their rules and regulations for some time

So will our resident Brexiters be heeding the call to arms, rolling up their sleeves and helping to make Brexit a titanic success? Or will they revert to type and sit around whinging expecting someone else to clean their shit up?

How many does he expect to come next summer under a no deal Brexit and how many British workers does he expect to relocate to work in physically demanding jobs on a farm in the middle of nowhere?

It will be a total disaster. The usual suspects in the right wing pro-Brexit media have already started ramping up the blame game - it won't be the fault of our highly competent workaholic Prime Minister or any of the skilled orators and negotiators in his cabinet - they are all just "doing their best" I think you'll find.

I would happily go fruit picking, if the job was within driving distance, if the pay was OK, and my daughter could go back to school safely, without the worry of her catching this shitty China virus. Are you going to go fruit picking?

Hey Donald! Nice of you to swing by.

By the way, you're conditions are a bit demanding to fit in to the 'I would happily go' bracket.
