The Conservative leader of Kent warns Boris Johnson that businesses aren't ready for new Brexit border rules
Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.The UK is not ready for new Brexit border rules at the end of the year, the Conservative leader of Kent county warns Boris Johnson.
"I think even the government, I think, would admit that there's still a lot further to go on it," Gough told Insider.The leader of Kent — the English county at the frontline of Britain's post-Brexit border with Europe — has warned Boris Johnson's government that businesses are a long way from being ready to leave EU rules in just over three months.
Gove this week warned that there could be queues of up to 7,000 trucks on the motorway if not enough businesses who export to the EU were ready for new checks on their goods, which don't currently take place. Gough's warning chimes with those of major industry groups, who for several weeks, have been warning Johnson's UK government that businesses, particularly smaller ones, are too focused on the coronavirus to prepare for a new trading relationship with the EU.
"But the question of how quickly they'll be delivered and how effectively they'll all work is a big one."Gove's announcement that police would help enforce checks on truckers entering Kent led to some commentators to suggest that Prime Minister Johnson was effectively erecting a new border with Britain.
