The No-Deal Brexit Plan proposes zero tariffs on a range of goods on the UK mainland but exempts Northern Ireland - remember one of the absolute key principles of Brexit for the DUP was that Northern Ireland should not be treated any differently to the mainland.
A No-Deal Brexit would openly defy the expressed will of the UK Parliament, remember the Brexiters said they wanted the UK Parliament to be sovereign.
Finally those tariffs - they will allow imports from far and wide with zero tariffs but the WTO Rules, remember how the Brexiters love them, mean that the EU cannot respond in kind without applying the same rules to every other nation on the planet, it can't just make an exception for the UK. So the UK government will be putting UK businesses at a disadvantage against competitors in Europe.
Funny how these things work out.
Oh and finally whereas the public don't get a second vote on the EU MPs have given themselves three in one night
