Didn't he suggest it was down to some strange quirk of geography
Fancy having a ferry port at the closest point between France and England
The world has gone mad! |  |

This is a good summary of where we are, and Chris Grey has been excellent in his analysis throughout, but those in Parliament who advocate Brexit most loudly clearly don't understand the implications of it nor show any sign of wanting to find out:

As I've said many times, it would be possible to leave in a sensible manner if the government accepted and made efforts to mitigate the impacts that it will have on particular parts of the economy and were prepared to take time.
Instead there has been a mad rush to leave as quickly as possible before the few million who can swung the vote can change their minds. |  |

No man is an island entire of itself.
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.

Unbelievable. Not unbelievable in the sense that that it's unbelievable that Raab doesn't know what he's doing, but unbelievable that we're at this point with people put in charge who don't know what they're doing.
And haven't bothered to find out what may or may not be important. Although that has been a theme all the way through, so it's not surprising.
Complete and utter feckwits running the show. And then to admit that they are... |  |

Not at all surprised-
As someone who has taken considerable notice of what politicians have said & done since Mr Cameron announced, in 2013, there would be a referendum on the UK's membershipe of the EU, this comes as no surprise at all.
Having watched a number of the debates in the Palace of Westminster my view remains that the majority of MP's don't understand anything about the EU nor what leaving will mean to the country as a whole.
The hard brexiteers have a hidden agenda most others are in the what happened category | | | |

I am now convinced that the UKs negotiating strategy all along has been "we are idiots, we know we are idiots, please feel sorry for us".
I also heard from someone very senior with the VW group that the deal is all but done and indeed has been for some months. |  |

I would be shocked and appalled but unfortunately I've come to expect it from what I've seen on this government. Reminds me of Karen Bradley's gross naivety that she didn't realise Northern Irish nationalists didn't vote for unionist parties...I wonder what actually qualifies half these people to the positions they are allocated.
What makes Raab's statement worse though is that the Port of Dover have been saying this since day one and they were even quite visible at last year's Conservative Party conference...not to mention the numerous articles and reams of experts saying this prior to him even being given the role of Brexit secretary. |  |

Interesting, someone from the same company told me a few weeks ago that their contingency plans are already in place? | | | |
