Yet another #BrexitBenefit
The government will introduce physical checks for many plant and animal products coming into Britain from the EU on 30 April as part of its new border target operating model (Btom).
However, plant sellers and growers have consistently raised concerns that the checks could cause delays and lead to some plants being destroyed or damaged.

In the week after the government was accused of blindsiding the British food industry by giving 27 days’ notice that every consignment of items such as camembert, steak, tulips and chives would be subject to fees of up to £145, small retailers such as delis and farm shops have been scrambling to make sure they still have products to sell.
But they say some EU exporters have already decided that they have had enough of British red tape and are either pausing supply operations or have given up completely.
Food wholesalers and trade associations have told the Observer of suppliers in EU countries who are already looking at other markets instead of the UK.

A new report has urged UK authorities to make a raft of improvements inside immigrant detention centres, including detention conditions and staffing issues.
That's according to a new report by the European Committee for the Prevention of #Torture (CPT) released on Thursday.
During a visit to the country between March and April 2023, it flagged up several issues surrounding the uncertainty of how long migrants will be detained, "prison-like" conditions in centres and the treatment of those displaying symptoms of mental illness.
The UK government blasted the report, saying it did not "recognise much" of its content.

Four #Rwandans were granted refugee status in the UK over “well-founded” fears of persecution at the same time as the government was arguing in court and parliament that the east African country was a safe place to send asylum seekers.

An unprecedented medicines shortage in the NHS is endangering lives, pharmacists have said, as unpublished figures reveal that the number of products in short supply has doubled in two years.
Causes of the crisis are thought to include the plummeting purchasing value of the pound since the Brexit referendum
Breast Cancer Now, said her organisation had been contacted over the past 12 months by several patients unable to source the medicines they needed to control the spread of their disease.

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.
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:
“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.
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”.

#Barclays has form when it comes to cutting elderly widows off from their money. The reasons for the closures differ, but the underlying incompetence and insouciance are disturbingly similar.
Your mother fell victim to EU rules which, post-Brexit, require UK banks to apply for separate licences to serve customers in each EU country.
There is a set process for claiming the balance from a defunct account, but a succession of errors stymied your efforts. First you were told that the account was dormant, rather than closed. This meant you were directed to follow the wrong process, which got you nowhere.
Next, branch staff failed to acknowledge your LPA documents, which meant your mother was put through the stress of signing a letter of authority.
Barclays only admitted these blunders after I got in touch and it took a media prod to get it to release the funds

Though ministers promised the UK would not water down EU-derived environmental standards after Brexit, there have been multiple instances of divergence since the country left the bloc.
Now, the country is failing to phase out pesticides that have been found to be harmful to human health and the environment at the same rate as the EU, according to research from Pesticide Action Network (PAN).
Thirteen of the 36 chemicals are considered highly hazardous pesticides under UN definitions used to identify the most harmful substances.

The collapsing school buildings scandal has exposed how the Government failed to ‘fix the roof while the sun was shining’
The scandal is just the most obvious example of the reckless and self-defeating approach taken by this Government to the public sector.
Since 2010, it has cut infrastructure spending as a share of GDP by a third as a part of Osborne’s supposed plan to “fix the roof” of the nation’s public finances.

Tory pledge to end homelessness by 2024 was just another hollow promise...
If you eradicate affordable homes and decimate social housing, refuse to regulate
landlords then you just drive up the number of rough sleepers caught in the poverty
trap...

“What Brexit was largely about was people at the top being able to employ the rest of the country for a lot less and pay a lot less tax,” he says.
Hands should know. He is one of those people at the top, a former Tory donor who is the founder and chair of Terra Firma, a private equity firm he founded. It has made him a multi-millionaire and one of the best-known figures in the British financial system.

I’ve had so many conversations with – and thousands of messages from – frustrated people who’ve simply had enough.
People from across the old political divides who are sick to the back teeth of dishonest, divisive, chaotic government.
They’ve had enough of Ministers’ smirking, catch-me-if-you-can lies.

Brexit
Supermarkets across Britain have come up with creative ways to cover up empty shelves.
Single lines of products and the removal of entire aisles are some of the things supermarkets have done to hide their empty shelves.
Shoppers have been left frustrated at the lack of food available with blame being placed on Brexit, worker shortages.
One disgruntled Tesco shopper in Camborne, Cornwall, revealed entire aisles had been removed to eliminate the sight of empty shelves.

Speaking honestly and truthfully in the UK's House of Commons is oppressed. banned & those speaking truth are punished. Yet the same truth is spoken outside of the UK where free people welcome truth and reality.
