None of this will matter anyway, as once the zero rate tariffs come in and we get unregulated imports via the Irish border we'll be flooded with all the cheap poor quality knockoffs we could wish for and we wont need to produce anything anyway."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

There’s a number of reasons for it, I guess. Roles are contained so each individual is an expert in their area, rather than a generalist. Segregation of duties so there is only limited access to certain transactions and warehouse areas.
It does make it more difficult for testing, I need a person from each area to cover planning, procurement, logistics, manufacturing, instead of just one generalist....Comment

We are stockpiling instead of producing

What the U.K. is worrying about, is that 87% of our imports might be tariff-free, but 100% of our exports will be subject to tariffs (excluding the Faroe Islands and Switzerland, so far).Comment

Brexit is a Tory problem, concocted by Tories to keep the Tory party together. It was never good for the UK, however there could have been some element of risk control and damage limitation. Now, however, the world sees us in a different light; we're incompetent and not to be trusted in negotiations. How do you think that is going to pan out when we try to set up all those future FTAs?
The worry is the WA is only stage 1 .... we haven't even got to the true negotiations yet.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
