There's a good reason why we've not been able to find any to exploit after two and a half years of trying. Clue: It's not because of Covid.

Aside from your opinion, how is it an "utter failure" ?
I'm pretty sure it was implemented on 31 January 2020.

You judge it on what was promised and the tangible, positive benefits we would receive.

The only benefits are marginal, require a lot of hard work by a functional government, and can readily be replicated by the EU if they make sense.

Well worth all the bother!

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader

One of the benefits of not being in the EU us that you get you see a lot more of Dover, every inch of it ! ;)

Whilst you could have previously just been waved through with your nice maroon EU passport. Your spiffing blue one, will have to be checked, stamped, a reason for your visit given and proof you have sufficient funds. They don't want any pesky British immigrants nicking their jobs/claiming asylum...

Indeed as is all the miles and miles of sovereignty ;)

Re: Updated: Boris resigns as party leader

Call me a rebel but back on the original topic, the two PM candidates seem to over exerting themselves to target the xenophobic right of the Tory Party. I am not sure this is a good strategy, the Rwanda policy was always an all show, no substance PR trick, aimed at this core audience. It demonstrates no original, new thinking

Sadly, you're right. That said, I do want them each to explain exactly how they will stop the illegal migrants - mainly young fit men without documentation. I am, of course, sympathetic to mothers with children.

Great - I can now at last accumulate Stempels from across Europe and play "where I've been" more effectively. I can also practice my French, German and Polish where necessary.

Incidentally I once asked for my "nice maroon EU passport" to be stamped and the man refused.

I cannot see how BJ would be back, surely that would require the current winner to resign, followed by another leadership election he would win - that seems .... unlikely.

He could be back at number 10 but as what?? And which number 10: 10 Acacia Avenue?

(OK I'm sure the article was clearer than the headline!)
