Perhaps he could teach the Tory Brexiteers a thing or two. They have only just started planning for a 'no deal' scenario!Hes been working on it since day one
Planning, that is, not implementing additional border facilities.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-41544588Appearing on the BBC's Sunday Politics, Justice Minister Mr Raab was asked why there was no visible sign of preparations for no deal - such as the recruitment of more customs officers and more infrastructure at ports.
He said: "This planning goes on, it's right that it does because of the prime minister's clear point of view that we need to search and hope for the best, strive for the very best outcome from these negotiations, but prepare for all eventualities.
"What we don't do is run around advertising it demonstrably. Why? Because we want to send the right, positive tone to our EU partners.
"So we don't go talking about what happens if we end up with no deal, but quietly, assiduously, those preparations will be in place."
Politician talk for "nothing is happening yet, and we hope we will not need it."
