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.

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.

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...

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!)
