• solved by the lorries leaving earlier

    From the other place, right? Like maybe they could leave that factory Just Before the things they're carrying have been made. Because it's only the UK factorys that operate using modern manufacturing methods - all those ones on the continent still stockpile months of input / output in order to feed the UK sites.

    “You ain’t no Margaret Thatcher,” leered Leigh in, what was for him, one of his more intelligent contributions to parliamentary life. Even his colleagues appeared embarrassed by that. All but Jenkin, who was hellbent on seeing how high he could raise the stupidity bar. Having earlier in the day declared that business was far too interested in making money, he now suggested that the way to reconcile just-in-time production with longer border checks was to make sure that lorries set out from the EU several days earlier than they currently did. That way it wouldn’t matter if they got held up. If he wasn’t already an MP, Jenkin would be hard pushed to get a job.

  • from the EU several days earlier than they currently did

    That reads like a John Crace piece. I wonder if he really said several days or if that's a bit of colour on the part of the sketch writer.

    Like, is he really expecting new customs checks to take several days longer than the current ones.
