It was reported that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine could have been approved in the UK exactly as it was, even had we still been in the EU and full members of EMA.

Hope it gets resolved. As someone who gets investigated for AF, then sees it disappear by itself, and never have any symptoms, I have become aware of the difficulties some have.

Though not all were French! 1810–1812 With the exception of Spain, a three-year lull ensued. Diplomatic tensions with Russia, however, became so acute that they eventually led to war in 1812. Napoleon assembled the largest field army he had ever commanded to deal with this menace. On 24 June...

I don't see that at all. The EU is now like any other country of the world. We should not charge VAT on goods we export to the EU. Nor should EU suppliers charge VAT on goods they export to the UK. Of course, I imagine some small EU companies will just charge the VAT-inclusive price regardless...

The articles appear to be exactly what you'd expect. Propaganda to ensure that blame attaches to us (individuals, business, anything non-governmental) while attempting to exonerate everything governmental. They will claim: "We told you to get ready. It's your fault you didn't." Right down to...

Agreed - though if there is a method for the German exporter to prepay VAT, the delay might not be appreciable. Can't see it being in place yet a while. Also, if the EU imposes tariffs and the items are imported from somewhere like China, the German supplier would, in time if not immediately...

Never a happy day with Johnson as PM. His failures are in every direction.

Boris Johnson vows to pit UK against EU in race for success ... Remind me what happened to the pits? :) Happy Christmas.

The FCO has not yet put up the requirements after 31/12/2020. But: Business travel may need a visa even for short stays; Carrying milk or meat products is (mostly) forbidden; Non-Schengen countries might have different requirements.

Don't forget we can have prawn cocktail flavoured crisps and curved bananas. Oh - we already could...

One thing it means, which affects quite a number of people I am in contact with, is that UK prescriptions will no longer be recognised by pharmacies in the EU. And, I assume, vice versa. I could explain at length, but I doubt anyone cares about the details, there are good reasons for people to...

About £112 million a year. In areas where it will be difficult to replace jobs lost. And seed potato growing isn't something that can be done just anywhere. Scotland and some of northern England are particularly well suited. Plus, NI might find it difficult to obtain adequate supplies of good...

However funny it might be, I'm not going to sign up to find out.

I'll just point you at the Scottish seed potato industry. Not only prevented from selling to the EU, also barred from NI. Argue as much as you like, that is a point of view which does NOT like what has been agreed.

Far from complete. About two-thirds in 5.5 years.

Amazing, we are relying on France to supply testing kits and staff to clear OUR lorryjam! Merci beaucoup.

Well I never. Decided not to await the formal announcement - go off and sort out laundry, have a bath, etc. Now some sort of last minute hitch? Hitchcock up?

Might not have gone to bed. Wouldn't be the first time he has failed to reach it. Mind, you can never tell by looking at him.

The Europeans open their presents on Christmas Eve. Shouldn't Johnson wait until tomorrow? If, indeed, it is a wonderful and joyous cadeaux de Noel for him to open.
