A practice run for a no deal Brexit traffic jam turned into a farce today as just 89 lorries were used to simulate thousands being delayed by potential chaos at Dover. Manston airfield near Ramsgate in Kent is being tried out as a mass HGV holding bay to ease congestion on roads to Channel ports. Just 89 lorries took part in a practice run during morning rush hour - fewer than the 150 lorries promised when the test was announced on Friday and a fraction of the 4,000 which could use the site in a no deal emergency. Each driver was paid £550 for their time - making the cost of today's test at least £48,950. The exercise was ridiculed today as a 'taxpayer funded farce' by critics today who said it was 'plain stupid' to manufacture a traffic jam to appear ready for no deal.
