Several problems arising from the UK's divorce from the EU have been thrown up in the last few days
Several problems arising from the UK's divorce from the EU have been thrown up in the last few daysWhile Boris Johnson promised to “get Brexit done”, many suggested it was only Rishi Sunak’s Windsor Framework deal on Northern Ireland last year that finally achieved the task.
Here are some of the headaches thrown up in recent days and weeks that show some of the issues Starmer is likely to inherit:The UK and EU are currently locked in “consultation” – negotiations – to resolve an argument over Westminster’s decision to ban North Sea fishing of sandeels to preserve a vital food source for the endangered puffin, and other British sea birds.
The process could rumble on for months or even years, while it has become a cause celebre for Brexiteers, highlighting the dilemmas Starmer is likely to face on whether to diverge from Brussels rules. Meanwhile, the Republic of Ireland is threatening to return asylum seekers back to the UK who have arrived via Northern Ireland ostensibly because they want to escape deportation to Rwanda, accusing Westminster of breaking a deal to take them.
Meanwhile, those who did not back Brexit are likely to bang the drum for closer alignment with EU rules to minimise these kinds of trade barriers.New EU rules to come into force this summer mean new water bottles will be forced to have their cap tethered on due to new Brussels regulation designed to ensure the entire product is recycled together.
