Nice of us to build it for them innit? Maybe they could knock us up a little space port or something in return?
Isn't the UK spaceport designated for somewhere in the south west? And will alien goods be subject to tariffs or not? I don't think they've thought this through properly.

1. Dig an exploratory bore hole. 2. Invite boris to go into it for a look round. 3. Before he realises he's alone down there, block it up with a 50 tonne concrete plug. 4. Broadcast the subterranean CCTV footage 24/7 until he doesn't move for three days.
"The new connection, informally known as “Boris’ burrow”, could help ease Brexit tensions over trade and boost the UK economy by making it easier for the transportation of goods."
It won't do anything for improving the transportation of goods wrt Brexit. The issue is the increased bureaucracy around customs checks, nothing to do with transport.
Looks like a massive white elephant in the making to me. Or rather the embryo of a massive white elephant. Enough for the companies of a a few Tory donors to cream of millions of public money in surveys, artists impressions and PR. And then it will be shelved.

It's not even that, it's just some PR chucked to friendly papers to generate the same headlines as when they last did this (about a year ago).

I was reading about this a couple of days ago.
If and when Scotland leave UK will we be able to use it?
Absolutely. It’ll be open to everyone – white, black, brown, gay, trans etc. Even those from the South East.
Of course, a road or rail link between Ireland and Scotland would only really make sense in a few years time when we’re all European. And even then, it’s highly debatable.
But the sort of simplistic diversion that BoJo loves.

It will start at Kings Cross - direct to Belfast!
