Co-conspirators will know that Starmer’s deal to provide “shorter airport queues this summer” with an agreement to open E-gate use for European countries is potemkin and useless on a practical level. The EU is digitising entry anyway for non-EU nationals from October under its EES system…

Under that system all non-EU entries will be photographed and fingerprinted. Shadow business secretary Andrew Griffith has taken up the issue and asked the government if the UK would be exempt from that EES system and got the reply from Nick Thomas Symonds: “UK national travellers will be required to register in the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES)… Implementation of the EES is a matter for the EU and its Member States, and subject to ongoing EU legislative processes.” Which formally confirms that the surrender deal does nothing to shorten queues…

There are no confirmed E-gate deals with member states for the summer and the EES is coming in the Autumn. Hey, at least we lose those fishing rights…
