Brexit matters

[Yew]

The physical stamps will be going away later this year once the Entry-Exit System (EES) finally comes into service.

So I will admit to quite enjoying getting stamps in my passport. Though I can imagine for peak-time travellers it was not fun with the extra waits

Wouldn't hold my breath on the new EU entry-exit system anyway.

It was originally planned for 2022. More recently it was planned for November 2024 and threatened my Iceland trip with being stampless.

Except, it was delayed yet again.

Maybe it'll happen in October, but I wouldn't put money on it.

Why would the new entry-exit system have "threatened my [your] Iceland trip with being stampless"?

Iceland is part of the Schengen area, so gets same rules for UK citizens as entering most of Europe

So reading this article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz63d82z785o

We have this quote (my bold):

Elspeth Macdonald, who represents 450 fishing boats as chief executive of the Scottish Fishermen's Federation says: "This deal is a horror show for Scottish fishermen, far worse than Boris Johnson's botched Brexit agreement."

Which seems completely at odds with this previous statement, that the deal is simply an extension of the current agreement?

The "reset" document notes "political agreements leading to full reciprocal access to waters to fish until 30 June 2038" - a 12-year extension to the current deal negotiated by Boris Johnson's Conservative government - and much longer than expected.

It seems that these two statements cannot both be true?

simply a reflection of indoctrination. Labour = BAD! Reality is a stranger.
