    Well, sure, but that’s nothing compared to the extra £350M per week that’s now flowing into NHS, right?

    Right?

      Right, but it’s extra £350M per week flowing out of NHS now, because why not?

    Has anyone compared the current shitshow to the claims made by each side in the Referendum? Could it be “Project Fear” turned out to be more accurate than wild claims scrawled on the side of a bus by some chancer? Could it be this has turned out worse?

      All I hear is some English twit from either side saying …

      “… Quite … I dear say … the English are never wrong”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    In August, the government delayed for the fifth time the introduction of post-Brexit checks on food, plant and animal produce arriving in Britain, meaning they will not begin until the end of January 2024.

    In the letter, Neville-Rolfe said the checks are required because since Britain left the EU it has become “more challenging to intervene to combat threats to animal, plant and human health”.

    She said implementing new border controls is essential to protect against the international transmission of diseases such as salmonella and African swine fever which are prevalent in parts of the EU.

    “The continued lack of import controls on animal and plant products risks our trade partners losing confidence in the quality of our exports, particularly if there is a serious outbreak.”

    Creasy warned it would ultimately be consumers who end up paying more for food and products as firms hope to pass on higher costs through price rises.

    In the final phase, safety and security declarations for EU imports will come into force from the end of October 2024, with physical checks costing up to £43 a time.
