Why are we no more informed about what will be the reality after 31 dec?

I can't believe the lack of information so close to the exit date. Is it really acceptable that the government has left it this late? How are small businesses meant to plan efficiently? There are so many 'what if's'

I am finding the silence on this really quite bizarre! We now have 6 weeks, with Christmas in the middle of it, until the deadline. Even if they agreed a great deal today I don't think there would be time for the necessary plans to be put in place, and yet no one is making a fuss. I watched PMQ's yesterday, and Brexit was barely mentioned. Its almost as if it is being ignored in the hope it'll just go away.

These talks have already failed. They failed 6 months ago. If Boris and the Tories wanted a deal they would have got one by now. But neither side want to be the ones who call No Deal. Plus the U.K. government aren’t prepared so they can’t tell you what plans to put in place as they don’t know themselves.

Is the plan not to be prepared, so they can make more money out of the collapse of the UK?

I don't know his title, but a government Brexit liaison person had a meeting with a group of Local Authority Brexit 'Silver Commanders' last week (these meetings presumably took place all over the country, but I know someone who attended this particular meeting).

The LAs put forward a request for any information to help them support their local businesses in preparing for Brexit.

All this man kept repeating was that they shouldn't worry, the guidance would be with them 'in good time' and what were they as Local Authorities doing to prepare their local businesses?

Preparing for what? When are you as a government giving us any guidance?
Repeat, repeat with a patronising tone at the LAs getting their knickers in a twist when there was no need.

It's the contempt and the gaslighting behaviour that really gets me.

Yes, I think so

Impossible to say for sure - but it’s one benefit that the rich who bankrolled brexit will enjoy (as demonstrated by the smug look on Farages face as the pound collapsed and ordinary Brits became immediately poorer when the referendum result came in)

Oh dear - and then there's the cost of the whole shebang.

@Scarby9 that doesn't surprise me at all. That sort of circular conversation seems typical of what I've been reading too.

2. Covid-19
3. Remainers

Who will not be to blame:

1. Brexiteers
