.My real sympathies lie with those who saw this coming, tried to do everything to stop it happening and are now in the direct firing line of it, and I think the number of people who fall into that category is frighteningly large
It would be nice to do a proper national poll on whether the Broken Brexit deal we have needs fixing.
Perhaps a referendum on joining the EEA and also creating a sort of Customs Union with the EU ?
Perhaps Broken Brexit can be salvaged if it is re-enginered.
If I had a pound for every time someone pretended they had me on ignore I would be approx £5 richer
Brexit bonus for the big consultants. Government paid largest firms £306m in two years for specialist work
The UK’s largest consulting firms have been paid more than £306m over the past two years to advise the government on Brexit, according to published contract data. At least 31 contracts have been agreed between government departments and consulting firms including PwC, Deloitte and McKinsey between September 2018 and February 2020 for work related to the UK’s departure from the EU, according to Tussell, a research company monitoring government contracts.
Examples of Brexit work included an attempt to set up a new system for customs declarations to manage the consequences for universities and the science sector. Millions of pounds more will have been spent on consultants for work where the EU is not directly cited but which addresses the knock-on effects of the UK’s departure, Tussell adds.
The government spent £1bn on the eight big consultancies for all areas of work in the 12 months to August 2020, a 15 per cent increase on the previous year and the first time spending topped £1bn since Tussell began recording data in 2016.
