Brexit Import controls delayed for the FOURTH TIME!

I think it's relative to all of us GSM. I have no idea why businesses would ever trust the Tory's again.

The Standards Controls were supposed to be coming in in October. When the linked video came out (last week) the EU were saying the Goverment hadn't shown them their plans yet - and we need the EU to help us implement them!

That, for me, doesn't make it just about "Brexit", a dead duck if there ever was one. It makes it about the running theme of incompetence ever since the Government got into power. They have no realistic plans for anything. They had no plans or structured systems for Brexit, for Covid, nor for the problems of the NHS. Whatever they were educated in it wasn't competence.

As Phil Moorhouse says, about the systems we have. We take on trust that what it says on form is what is in the box. Because what we have managed to do is both underfunded and understaffed. Just when money is tight, "government are officially turning a blind eye to smudgling costing us more than the entire annual budgets of most government departments".

We cannot afford this government!

I agree wwm, but the OP has something of a Brexit obsession.

Why do you think? this is serious stuff.

GSM - where I live is irrelevant to the facts.

OP is British, GSM. Has every right to comment.

If you don't like the thread don't join in.

I wasn't attacking Fp in any way. Just querying why EU exporters would stop exporting to the UK when they have such advantageous terms already.

I thought that importing from the EU was dead simple at the moment because of the lack of import controls.

It's exporting from the UK that is difficult because of EU third country importation requirements.

I thought the same.

I don’t live in USA or Israel but have felt quite free to comment on their government recently, and fully intend to do so in future.

Not this again! And OP doesn’t live in the UK or the EU.

Indeed, Maizie.
