OMG The Defra UK minister Mark Spencer just said that “we’ve limited the amount of charges that can apply to five per lorry load”...it's NOT. It's five (mad £145) per CHED (ie product declaration). There can be *multiple* on a lorry. Here's EG from Cold Chain Federation /1

.UK Parliament is holding an #UrgentQuestion on the #BorderTargetOperatingModel with further checks on imports coming in on 30 April.

Last year saw a record 500 road haulage operators enter insolvency. Communication from Government needs to improve and we are clear that hauliers…

“We can’t eat the paper work the Brexit border tax creates.”

Today our chair stellacreasy asked an urgent question in the house regarding the new system of checks for all food imports from the EU. Want to help stop this madness? Join us! labourmovementforeurope.uk/join

Laughable response from ministers who tried to claim the Brexit border tax will be good and then refused to answer any questions on how it will work - if it won’t cause food inflation then why won’t they publish their evidence to back up their claims..?

The Speaker has granted two UQs today John Healey MP role of the UK Armed Forces in the Middle East and stellacreasy checks on goods entering the UK under the Border Target Operating Model 1/2

With just hours to go, Britain's post-Brexit border checks are still uncertain. Ports investing millions yet left in the dark on cost recovery. It's clear: we need to scrap the Brexit Border Tax. Join the LME in making this case!

Over recent weeks, Aodhán Ó Ríordáin & I have raised with the Gov these concerns about impact of British Tories’ #RwandaBill on human rights protections in NI under #GoodFridayAgreement - they should have been acted on before now.

Imagine if Dave or Stormzy or were sentenced to death...when you speak the same language, you can't not want to scream #FreeToomaj #Toomaj_Salehi

As Robert Jenrick home office minister UK Tory MPs went to ECHR meetings to vote directly for who should be judges he now claims to oppose.

It protects British public from their own government breaching rule of law to abuse them. Jenrick shows why such accountability matters.

6 months ago wrote to Irish PM about Rwanda bill to urge to investigate if breached Good Friday agreement. UK govt admitted not even speaking to them despite treaty requiring them to do so. Still Irish didn’t challenge.

This diplomatic crisis entirely of all their own making.

The young man has now tried to send me to the Financial Ombudsman Service as the dispute resolution for a faulty Apple good.

Had to point out it isn’t a loan or mortgage advice am querying.

Just hate it when corporations think it doesn’t matter to know the law! Martin Lewis

waited hour to be told off by young men in Apple store about consumer rights trying to get faulty good fixed.

Said I didn’t know consumer rights act 2015 (I served on bill ctte) then disappeared when asked for ADR process.

Never underestimate power of knowing your rights 🤯

The Labour Movement for Europe 🌹 🇪🇺 warning for weeks now the government figures on Brexit border tax don’t add up - Joel Hills has proof. Food is going to get even more expensive - but it doesn’t need to! Share and ask your MP to join me and Natalie Elphicke MP opposing: itv.com/news/2024-04-2…

Fwiw Zero Hour it doesn't say 'politics will let them down' but 'politics will let them' - that people will indulge anger not action because they think thats how they can marshall votes.

My poor handwriting may be terminal, but my determination change is possible isn't!

The phenomenal Adebowale Victor knocking it out of the park with facts and compassion on Question Time tonight - silencing all who think they know better in the process.

First we had Thèrése Coffey not knowing that Kigali is the capital of Rwanda, and now we have Chris Philp not knowing that Congo is a different country to Rwanda…

They're sending £576m to a country they can’t even pick out on a map… 😳
