Brexit disruption: Gove s bumpy moments remark branded understatement of the century by SNP
BRITAIN has been warned to expect major turbulence this week as it exits the comfort of the transition period and is hit by a wave of EU red tape.
Michael Gove admitted there would be “some disruption” for travellers and businesses as the country ended its 47-year membership of the Euro club.
The Cabinet Office Minister, with a deal of understatement, said there would be some “bumpy moments” as the 11-month transition period ended and the full reality of Brexit finally took shape.
His comments came as ambassadors from the EU27 unanimously approved the provisional application of the historic UK-EU Trade and Co-operation Agreement, without tariffs or quotas and worth some £670 billion, and as MPs and peers prepared to vote on it tomorrow.

It is hoped the airfield will help manage any queuing traffic in the area, although the Scottish Government’s Transport Secretary Michael Matheson said they do not expect that to happen “at this stage”.
He said: “Scotland did not vote for EU exit and we regret having to prepare for it, particularly in the midst of a global pandemic. ....

The announcement of the deal happened as Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove appeared to admit that UK borders could face more disruption in January.
