Re: Britain outside the EU
England’s Jude Bellingham applies for Irish passport
Irish passport
We did it the cheap way: we all in the family now have EU ID cards: French, Italian & Greek. No passport is needed (they cost around 90 Euros each). We can go in and out of 30 Euro countries and we can stay as long as we like...

Re: Britain outside the EU
CE (Conformité Européenne) mark to remain. Companies selling in Great Britain can choose to follow this mark or the new UKCA one.
A commonsense u-turn.

So the great news is that we keep using what we already had

Yep, one set of regulations for both Great Britain and the EU and Northern Ireland instead of two.
Not sure what that means for regulatory divergence though as this looks like we will be tied to EU Technical Directives going forward if CE marking is going to be accepted for ever. If we go for less strict regulation then maybe it’s ok but can’t go for more strict regulations as CE marks might not cover any Great Britain requirements.

I also understand that we don't have testing capability in many areas so even if an organisation wanted a UKCA marking, there would be no company able to test and grant the mark for some goods.
I can see the UKCA mark dying out now.

Re: Britain outside the EU
As I said at the time, the UKCA was a nonsense, a Boris vanity project that everyone could see right through.

Can’t test for CE directives either of course. Goods will need to be shipped abroad for testing.

Is there anything else of Brexit apart from the UKCA mark that you think is a Boris vanity project?

+2. Just have mine in front of me for an upcoming trip to Bilbao. Black as a turned-off TV screen. I think it's the French-owned manufacturers trolling us.
