Present in Sweden for 9 years and married to a Swedish citizen. Looks like a clear breach of the Brexit withdrawal agreement but also of his right (and his wife's) to a family life. Really shameful conduct by Sweden.

ps - for those who like these things, the UK was not allowed to introduce new zero rates when it was in the EU.. which was why in 1997 incoming CX Gordon Brown could only cut the VAT rate on domestic fuel and power to 5 per cent after Cons had imposed 8 per cent VAT on it.. #brexitbenefit

Lots of talk of “losing” access to critical information. Rather than Johnson not bothering to secure it. And Farage wanting an even harder Brexit.

I think there's two possible explanations for why the UK runs so far ahead of other European countries – neither of them good. And the annual April price jump speaks to a wider issue. For more detail, see my column in this weekend's Observer.
