#Brexit problem: UK tap water safety at risk after testing labs shut down

#BrexitBenefits

People in the industry have called it a “Brexit problem” because #EU countries will share laboratory capacity from 2026, meaning that if the UK was still in the EU, water companies would be able to use products that passed tests on the continent.

But UK rules mean products cannot be tested abroad; they have to be tested in the country in a certified lab, of which there are now none.

Apply for the UK to join the European Union as a full member as soon as possible

I believe joining the #EU would boost the economy, increase global influence, improve collaboration and provide stability & freedom.

We've seen that #Brexit hasn't brought any tangible benefit and there is no future prospect of any, that the UK has changed its mind and that this should be recognised.

#Brexit: UK exports declining and expected to get worse

The negative impacts of the trade agreement have intensified over time, with 2023 showing more pronounced trade declines than previous years

Clothing makers, wood and paper manufacturers, and farmers are among the hardest hit industries according to the report with many subcategories' values falling by well over half.

Edible fruit and nuts reported the biggest decrease in export value as it plummeted by 73.5%.

Britons support rejoining the single market, even if it means free movement

New YouGov data indicates that more Britons are in fact supportive of joining the single market, even under this condition, than in opposition. Just short of six in ten Britons (57%) would support the UK joining the single market, even if this meant a return to free movement, with only around one in five (22%) opposed.

Low-welfare eggs from caged hens imported to UK in ‘staggering’ numbers

Brexit Failed

The president of the National Farmers’ Union, said she was “staggered” by the import figures for the first eight months of 2023.

The total number of consignments imported since 2021:

  • 422 in 2021
  • 2,120 in 2022
  • 2,536 in the just first eight months of 2023

“When the medical advice is to eat British Lion eggs [stamped to show they have been produced in accordance with a code of practice], why on earth would they be importing eggs produced to standards that would be illegal in the UK?” she asked.

  • “It raises serious questions as to whether the government is checking food imports given the ongoing delays in the border target operating model.”

Gary Ford, the deputy chief executive of the British Egg Industry Council, echoed her concerns, saying it was “very disappointing” to see imports growing, “particularly at a time when British producers have been struggling due to poor returns”.
