Stena is the largest ferry operator in the Irish sea and owns three UK ports.

More good news : the deficit is down again!
(How can it keep going down and by so much if we're doing as badly as some remainers insist we are? :think:)

The shortfall between April and September stood at £19.9bn, its lowest for 16 years.

Belfast, Liverpool and Holyhead.

Eh?
I'm sure Belfast, Liverpool and Holyhead harbours will together love their new owners - Stena Line!
:rotfl:
Here's a bit about Belfast Harbour for you Moby (I'm still wondering if it's really "Richard"?)

Belfast Harbour is one of the UK's many "Trust Ports" and is an independent statutory body. Trust Ports are not owned by Government; they are obliged to operate independently and on a commercial basis. Its Board – known as Belfast Harbour Commissioners - is appointed by Northern Ireland’s Department for Regional Development on the basis of open public advertisement.

Here's a bit about Stena Line & Belfast Harbour

Last year, for the first time in its history, Stena Line carried over 500,000 freight units through Belfast Harbour and we look forward to working with Stena in the years ahead to support its ongoing success.

“Our investment strategy aims to ensure that we provide the best facilities to our port users and tenants. Belfast Harbour has committed to making a multi-million pound investment in the ferry terminal to accommodate these new larger vessels and, in addition we are investing further to improve the user experience for freight and leisure customers.

CBA to do the others but it looks like you're wrong Moby.

How so? Do you think it's not going to be a concern? Personally I doubt we'll have any issue here IF we're prepared for it.

Have we started trying to establish all of the agencies we lose when we leave yet, anyway?
Even if we're just copying EU approval/regulations we'll need someone to so that.

Why do I think the Indy's article was scaremongering? Because it didn't mention for balance,

https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-6239033/UK-medicines-regulator-preparing-no-deal-Brexit.html
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said on Thursday it was opening a consultation on how its legislation and regulatory processes would have to be modified.

The move follows a series of government papers on preparations for a potential no-deal Brexit.

"In the unlikely event of a no-deal scenario, the UK will strive to be at the forefront of regulatory innovation and processes. For example, looking at ways to reduce the length of time required to approve new medicines," said MHRA Chief Executive Ian Hudson.

Further down the article states:-
'But the unexpected £400m windfall is basically an irrelevance, a drop in the ocean. At best it might give him a throwaway line to liven up what looks set to be a rather dull speech, and no I’m not talking about his infamously dour delivery here.'....


and then lower down the article says his choices are constrained by....


'The situation he faces comes as a result of the choices of the crazy Tories sitting on the benches behind him. I’m talking here about Jacob Rees-Mogg and his 60 or 70 strong band of bonkers Brexiteers. It is they who are really limiting his room for manoeuvre. They make the need to plan for the no deal Brexit they crave his overwhelming priority.'

Thanks ben501.
I'm rapidly forming the opinion that there's no real interest in truth there.
