Aren’t full customs check supposed to be coming in next winter (just after a general election, funny that) it keeps being put off and Labour would have to do the same.
HousecatHST-
Yeah that would be nasty timing for Labour.
But a spotcheck of lorries found rotted meat, how much can you lower the requirements on checks and how long can you kick the can down the road?
Non EU food is already checked, but you are really running on trust and there are always bandits (see also the horse lasagna moment).
Well, at least in NI we have "other problems"but at least food gets checked.

Portsmouth build £25 million facility per government rules. These have now changed and it's wasted £ but if course the council has to pay for it.
I keep forgetting there are no food checks from EU to GB yet...that's not going to help with food supplies/costs I fear :(
