  1. A recent article highlighted a major delay in the UK's efforts to replace its Border Force fleet, now pushed back to 2030. The issue stems from a "Brexit blunder" tied to decisions made by former Prime Minister Liz Truss during her time as trade secretary. Truss's failure to exclude civilian ship contracts from global competition, when signing a post-Brexit government procurement agreement with the WTO, has caused the project to go back to the drawing board. This mistake has led to a significant increase in costs—from an initial budget of £50 million to £300 million. The replacement of Britain's aging Border Force vessels, critical for operations like monitoring the Channel and managing migration, will now be severely delayed. To address the gap, the government had to spend £36 million on chartering private vessels last year alone. This situation underscores the challenges and financial impacts of Brexit-related decisions, adding strain to public funds​ (The Times, 18th September 2024)
