Border blunder: French pupils denied entry to the UK by British officials due to a trivial post-Brexit form error.

500-mile trip wasted, tourism lost, and goodwill gone. Sad for those kids and so frustrating. Is this really what the UK voted for?

How many times must it be said? #Brexit is an ongoing disaster for the UK.

£3bn-a-year hit to food exports.

No recent signs of regaining previous levels.

Added layers of regulations required to send food to the EU.
'Mind-boggling' Brexit rules hit British food exports by £3bn a year
British food sales to the EU have fallen by more than 16% on average across the three years since Brexit, a new report found, with businesses blaming new border checks.

I mean this obviously can't stand. You can't have a foreign extremist, who used social media to encourage & facilitate far-right violence, plough huge donations to his favoured British political party.

"Strong men" will always appeal to a section of the masses because they seem to offer quick solutions and easy answers to complex problems. What happens next... is that the world... always falls apart as those quick solutions and easy answers turn out to be a lot of dangerous bollocks.

I hope the irony of a Brexit cheerleader like Badenoch telling the CBI that "Labour doesn't listen to business" and indulges "political ideas that result in cost and red tape" is not lost on people.

Does she really think she can gloss over the fact she rode that very economic vandalism to the top?

A man describes in perfect English how he escaped torture by the Taliban.

He explains why he wants to come to the UK “because I speak English”. It’s quite simple.

He believes neither France nor Germany will help him. He knows the risk of death.
He needs a safe, regulated route. #r4today
