More cautious language from accountants for ProjectFear

The Graun keeps up the pressure, even while talks seem to be going on among sherpas in tunnels at a border in the English Channel (I may have confused a few stories here).Scary (sub)headline as usual:

Whitehall’s spending watchdog report concludes UK faces significant, unpredictable risks 

there could be freight delays, more crime and fewer checks on migrants in the event of a no-deal Brexit, a critical report from Whitehall’s spending watchdog has found.... there are significant, unpredictable risks which could lead to chaos at the UK’s ports.

Is this actually what the auditors said? Surely a supporting quote is required?

auditors said the government acknowledged that the operation of the border would be “less than optimal” in the event of no deal....“It is impossible to know exactly what would happen,” it says.

Bit of a difference with the Graun's gloss then, but we can explain that the report was necessarily 'Couched in the cautious language of an auditor'. As opposed to the incautious language of a journalist?

Meanwhile, the Graun editorial might be shifting on to its next moral crusade, perhaps beginning to think that Brexit is exhausted, maybe even that, heaven forbid, a deal might happen and leave them with much less virtue to signal
