NAO says government’s £100m Brexit campaign has had “limited impact”

The National Audit Office concluded that the ads are ineffective because they're trying to address issues that are not "manageable or resolvable".

The National Audit Office has warned that the government’s £100 million ‘Get ready for Brexit’ campaign has had “limited impact”.

An assessment of the communications, which were rolled out to help individuals and businesses prepare for EU exit, show it is trying to address many issues that do not appear to be manageable or resolvable due to the uncertainty surrounding Brexit.

The NAO noted that “it is impossible to know exactly what would happen at the border in the event of no deal”.

This means that successful delivery appears to be unachievable, with the report stating:  

“The government is heavily dependent on third parties being well-informed and making changes to their systems and behaviours.

“This includes traders, hauliers and passengers.

“If these groups are not prepared for the controls which EU member states are likely to impose this may lead to queues at the border.”

Marketing Blitz

The government’s Brexit comms strategy was rolled out at the end of July, promising an “unprecedented marketing blitz on billboards, radio and television”.

But questions over its effectiveness were raised just weeks after it launched.

Guardian columnist Suzanne Moore described it as “mystifying in its utter uselessness” last week.

She added: “This is all billed as a public information campaign but it is devoid of information and is simply publicly-funded government propaganda.”

Earlier this week it emerged that the ‘Get ready for Brexit’ campaign had quietly dropped the message of 31 October as the date Britain is due to leave the EU, with its website promoting a more cautious message:

“We could still leave with no deal on 31 October.”

On ice

Yesterday Johnson was forced to put his plans to leave the EU on October 31 on ice after suffering another humiliating Commons defeat.

MPs voted by 322 to 308 to reject his plan to ram legislation approving his Brexit deal through the Commons in just three days.

The Prime Minister told MPs he would now “pause” the Withdrawal Agreement Bill until the EU takes a decision on whether to grant another Brexit delay.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
