British government officials have told minsters that there is a “very realistic chance” major ports, […]

UK would be ‘insane’ to let in chlorinated chicken, farmers say

Farming leaders have said it would be "insane" to sign a trade deal that allows the import of food that would be illegal to produce in the UK, such as chlorinated chicken. The National Farmers Union (NFU) president, Minette Batters, said allowing these imports would be "morally bankrupt". The NFU called for rules on minimum standards for imports to be made law. Downing Street said food standards would be protected […]

Brexit trade deal: What do the UK and EU want?

Trade negotiations tend not to begin with two sides in agreement - otherwise there would be nothing to negotiate. So it's not surprising to see the UK and EU set out rather different positions before talks begin in earnest. There are some broad similarities.

New blue British passport rollout to begin in March

The first blue British passports for nearly 30 years will be issued next month, the Home Office has said. The current burgundy design is being replaced, following the UK's departure from the European Union. Blue passports were introduced in 1921 and phased out after 1988 when members of the then European Economic Community agreed to harmonise designs.

Budget: ‘Higher spending will require higher taxes,’ new chancellor warned

A study suggests it would be fiscally responsible for the chancellor to raise more in taxes to help offset big spending increases.
