And Jayne Adye, the director of Get Britain Out, said as a result, despite Boris Johnson’s pledge to “Get Brexit done”, the UK still does not have full control of its borders, well over 18 months after severing ties with the bloc. Ms Adye set out her concerns in the course of her regular weekly bulletin, published at the start of a week in which Brexit minister Lord David Frost prepares to be grilled in the House of Lords on the subject of the Northern Ireland Protocol.

However, she said: “The Government has extended the so-called ‘rollover agreements’ we have with the EU, which delay implementing full checks on goods moving between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

“These agreements were set to expire at the end of September – a deadline the UK set out in June – but the new extension has been done on an indefinite basis with no deadline.”

“But what this screams to me is – ‘Remainers’ in the ‘Silly Snivel Service’ are still in control – denying Brexit needs to be fully implemented, so they are deliberately delaying getting themselves sorted out!”
