Indeed as Former Brit diplomat, most recently Amb. in Paris, before that first UK National Security Advisor Peter Ricketts has indicated;
'deft handling by Grayling and team of the new rail timetable boosts my confidence they’ll make an equal success of the much tougher feat of keeping the 8.5m vehicles a year flowing smoothly across the channel, esp since the new customs plans will be clear so far in advance!'
As a rabid supporter of brexit, Graylings Brexit logic perhaps flows like this;
Leave a EU Free Trade Area to trade more freely
Leave EU trade agreements to get new trade agreements
Weaken influence to become stronger
Turn inward to be more global
Opt out by opting in
Welcome people by being hostile
Keep access to the single market by leaving the single market
Maintain an invisible border by installing infrastructure
Cut red tape by adding to it
Boost investment by creating uncertainty
Help workers by removing guarantees of rights
Put people first by making them poorer
Save the NHS by driving doctors and nurses away
Bolster public services by reducing tax-take
Save money by recreating the present at substantial cost
Bring clarity by creating confusion
