UK Government just released 70 pages of case studies today, showing how the borders will operate after 1 January 2021.
They're essentially hardcore porn for red tape fetishists.
Doomed, we are. Doomed.
(e.g. exporting fish; exporting mechanical goods)

Or, arguably, before the Brexit referendum. Just the 70 pages of case studies released TODAY could have tipped the result the other way. Not everyone is blinded by sovrinty & hating forrins.

Auto parts. I am practically weeping at my keyboard.
In short, this is by far the most important document nobody will report on today.

The 70 pages of case studies were only published TODAY, 31 December 2020. (As was the revised version of the main document, reflecting the Brexit deal.) This is brand new stuff, never seen by businesses.

Cheeky little plug: I have a book on Brexit out.
It combines a bucket of facts (700 references) with the kind of gallows humour you've seen in my tweets, and debunks two dozen Brexit myths.
Paperback looks pretty on a coffee table (Kindle available too). https://www.amazon.co.uk/Slaying-Brexit-Unicorns-truth-decision-ebook/dp/B07Z1FTRQW/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=bre3-21&linkCode=ur2&linkId=5bc2de1ee25940e991b9b24138ffddaf&camp=1634&creative=6738
