@MarcusFysh seems to be under the impression that the UK can pick and choose which countries face import checks and tariffs. You can't. At least not without getting sued to buggery at the WTO. #Newsnight ➡️
No tariffs or border checks for trucks bearing food from EU at Dover means no tariffs or border checks for food coming in globally. No food safety checks. No phytosanitary checks. ➡️
And if the UK doesn't impose food safety and phytosanitary checks then the EU will have to block UK products because they do impose high standards in those areas. ⏹️
