There is so much happening that is not being reported, I thought that it would do no harm to get those interested up to speed.

1. UK pays £24 for one Moderna dose. EU pays £1

UK pays £15 for one Pfizer dose. EU pays £10.60

AZ in UK is £2.17 per dose.
In EU it’s £2.15

2. ITV news reporting
Analysis shows Brexit caused £12 billion of lost trade in October

@NicholasTyrone
I see the government has very quietly folded in the fishing dispute with the French. This is Brexit in a nutshell: the UK government makes a big noise, puffs out its chest - and then reality kicks in and a complete cave in ensues. It happens over and over again.

UK trade has shrunk since Brexit while EU thrives -

4. The U.K. is paying 25% tariffs on steel we export to USA. The EU - zero
No level playing field there

Did your GD travel with a Dutch national with Dutch passport?

BTW- all people booked on the Tunnel yesterday were sent the official information by the Tunnel and told they would NOT be able to transit through France to their residence in the EU. This was then picked up and repeated by Embassies, TV News, all major newspapers, etc - so hardly 'people making mountains out of molehills'.

One family who were with relatives near Folkestone had to get up in middle of the night to travel north to Harwich and take the long and expensive crossing to The Hook - and ditch their doorstep travel via Tunnel- to ensure they could get back in time to resume work, and kids for school on Monday.

So your comment is particularly insensitive.

Kali2 is correct. This was on the Eurotunnel website yesterday.

And this was later today when I was following the announcement.

URGENT UPDATE FOR BRITISH RESIDENTS IN EU

The French government has updated the travel rules applied since 28 December 2021.
Passengers travelling from the UK, with residency permits for other EU countries under the Withdrawal Agreement, can now transit through France to return to their homes. This is subject to their journey to the UK having been completed before the 28th December 2021.
This new rule comes into force immediately.

You can transit France by road to get to Holland or Belgium and others, also transit stops at airports are allowed
