REFERENDUM RESULTS AND DISCUSSION THREAD

The so-called bloated eurocrats of Brussels – all 32,000 of them – must be laughing into their foaming steins of blanche beer.

Because in order to replicate what all 32,000 of these much-maligned workers do for the whole of the European Union (which comprises 27 countries), the UK has found it can only do with 100,000 new civil servants recruited in the wake of Brexit. And despite that hiring spree, we are still failing to deal properly with the consequences of leaving the EU.

That is the conclusion of a damning report into how the UK government has managed Brexit from The UK in a Changing Europe, the pre-eminent research body in this area.

Government plans to rip up rules letting uninsured drivers make claims

A strange quirk of European Union rules means that innocent drivers hit by an uninsured car can still get compensation - even if they are uninsured themselves.

Great, unless you get hit by an uninsured driver and have to deal with the ballache of suing someone who probably wont be able to pay out anyway
 
In that instance, you can make a claim with the MIB (not the Will Smith one...)
 
This sort of rhetoric is now main stream, but is particularly interesting when it comes from the Brexiter Benyamin Naeem Habib, who was born on 7 June 1965 in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. His father is a Pakistani Punjabi and his mother is English and was born in Isleworth…

An inland facility set up to carry out checks on nearly all EU meat and dairy imports coming through Dover will be unable to cope when post-Brexit rules come in next month, the port’s health authority has warned.
The Dover Port Health Authority (DPHA) said the Sevington facility in Ashford, which is 22 miles inland, had not been designed to handle the scale of imports expected, and claimed its geographical position would “create an open door for disease and food fraud”.
The comments come just weeks before post-Brexit border rules are brought in on 30 April, which will require many meat, dairy and plant products from the EU to be physically checked at government border control posts (BCPs).
 
A new £24m border control post in Portsmouth could end up being demolished because new post-Brexit trade arrangements have deemed it “commercially unviable”, port bosses have warned.

The BCP – which was built two years ago with a £17m central government grant and £7m from Portsmouth City Council – was originally designed to process checks on up to 80 truckloads of foods, such as fresh produce, coming into the UK once it left the EU in 2021.

But repeated delays and changes to the introduction of import controls mean the port is now expected to process only four or five consignments a day, said Mike Seller, port director at Portsmouth International Port – the second busiest cross-Channel port in the UK.
 
These issues appear set to continue in the near-term future. In the UK’s case, the challenges have been exacerbated by new border import and Civil Aviation Authority certification requirements following Brexit and the UK’s consequent departure from the EASA common European aviation system.

“This has added unwelcome cost, time and complexity to our engineering operations and continues to adversely affect the service that we deliver to our customers today.”

Two of the government’s flagship post-Brexit visa routes designed to lure the “brightest and best” to work in the UK equated to less than two per cent of the total work visas issued last year, analysis of government figures reveal.
According to statistics contained in detailed government immigration records, 2,186 High Potential Individual (HPI) visas and 4,181 Global Talent visas were issued to main applicants in 2023. Combined, these made up less than two per cent of the 337,240 work visas issued to migrants last year.

The data was analysed by visa experts at immigration and visa law firm A Y & J Solicitors. Company director Yash Dubal says the data illustrates the gap between the government’s messaging on immigration and the reality of the points-based system.

He said: “When these new routes were announced the emphasis was very much about how the UK’s immigration system was designed to attract the most talented people from around the world. The reality has been somewhat different because the figures show that while high achievers have taken advantage of these routes, they have done so in modest numbers and as a tiny percentage of overall work visas.”
 
I prefer it for all of us tbh, but if it upsets elderly gammon that’s a bonus.
