#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.

Trump’s victory has fractured the western order – leaving Brexit Britain badly exposed

The governing doctrine of the new administration will be a hybrid of ideological faith and corruption, held together by favours, a personality cult and paranoia. It will be a dogmatic kleptocracy where people who know how to spout the right beliefs to the right people will get lucrative jobs and contracts. Such regimes normalise the hypocrisy of plundering a nation while claiming to make it stronger. There are no contradictions or shame when submitting to the will of the leader is synonymous with doctrinal correctness.

For tea, the maximum residue level (MRL) was increased by 4,000 times for both the insecticide chlorantraniliprole and the fungicide boscalid. For the controversial weedkiller glyphosate, classed as a “probable human carcinogen” by the World Health Organization (WHO), the MRL for beans was raised by 7.5 times." #Food #FoodRegulations #Pesticide #Brexit https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/sep/19/revealed-far-higher-pesticide-residues-allowed-on-food-since-brexit

The End of Schengen

#Germany has finally bowed to the inevitable and will be bringing the era of free movement across #Europe to an end:

Germany will bring in controls on all its land #borders to deal with the ‘continuing burden’ of #migration and ‘Islamist #terrorism’, the country’s interior minister has told the #EU.

Nancy Faeser of the struggling Social Democrat party (SPD) has finally accepted that Germany has no choice but to enforce proper border controls if it has any hope of coping with the staggering amount of unauthorised entries.

According to German newspaper Bild, the new rules will see ‘harsh rejections of #migrants at the borders’.

Faeser has reportedly already informed the #EU #Commission of the decision, which is fuelled by deep-rooted panic over Germany’s current migrant situation and internal #security #threats.

I lived in #Europe pre-Schengen, and I won’t lie, it was really nice to be able to blitz right through the borders that used to take up to 45 minutes to get through. But what was convenient for day-trippers and tourists has been an absolute #nightmare due to the #criminals and #migrants who were also provided with easy and invisible movement throughout the #EuropeanUnion states and the non-EU #Schengen signees.

This has been coming for two or three years now; we’ve seen some of the big border infrastructure being built at the #borders of #France and #Spain, even though it isn’t being used yet. The police mostly use the toll booths as an ersatz border, but that only works for the highways.

#Brexit marked the beginning of the end for the EU, but the effective demise of Schengen marks another important step.
