To all those travel and border “experts” who say the only way Brits can avoid the queues at EU ports and airports is to rejoin the EU or find some way of getting an EU passport - please note. Many EU countries (including Portugal when I have just been) have made great strides in improving the technology to make passport control simple and efficient for British visitors. Banks of kiosks with multiple simple language options offer a simple touch screen solution to scan passports live images and fingers with a few simple questions and then it’s straight through an e gate and into the baggage hall. Of course not all member states are completely up to speed yet but they are making great progress. You don’t need to be in the EU to have a safe efficient and simple border experience. You just need to invest in the right technology, people and infrastructure. Well done @EULISA_agency @EU_Commission @frontex and @GNRepublicana for making it happen. @ibmata #seamlessborders #technology #innovation #futureborders
@DailyMail Pretty good just now in Lisbon, I have to say. About 10 minute wait inbound no wait outbound, kiosks and gates worked well at both. Simple easy to use and plenty of facilitators to help. That’s the way to do it! @border_mgmt
@TheMercianNews Increasing IE resources alone won’t help without removing barriers to removal, I’m afraid. The Blair government trebled the Home Office budget in 2002 to speed up FAS removals - but many still got to stay due to legal challenges and lack of returns deals. Focus on that imo.
🇬🇷 Greece has approved new legislation to speed up the deportation of rejected asylum seekers and pave the way for transferring them to “return hubs” outside the EU once agreements with third countries are finalized. The law comes as migrant arrivals continue to rise on the Greek islands of Crete and Gavdos, with many boats arriving from Libya. Greece is already in talks with two African countries as part of a broader effort involving the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, and Austria to establish return hubs that could become operational in 2027.
Denmark plans to ban Islamic call to prayer: 'Shouldn't sound like a suburb of Islamabad' trib.al/M9R5Fnk
@nadhimzahawi Not sure about that. Many countries of the world have larger illegal populations than this and don’t do much about it, in my experience anyway.
Nobody on a temporary visa should be standing for election in Scotland, or even voting. Citizenship should mean something!
SNP will alter law to allow more migrants who have 'limited leave to remain' to stand in local elections trib.al/8Urr9Er
Sweden's parliament has voted to abolish permanent residency for future refugees and certain other categories of immigrants. From July 12, asylum seekers granted protection in Sweden will only be eligible for temporary residence permits. The decision follows years of pressure on Sweden's migration system, while also grappling with rising gang violence, shootings, and organized crime.

Immigration : un référendum ? 🗣️ "En France, on distribue 1/4 de tous les visas distribués dans toute l'Europe, quasiment 900 000 de plus que l'Allemagne (...) je veux protéger les Français. Les Français veulent moins d'immigration, ils en auront moins" : @BrunoRetailleau
@TheSun “Damning leaked report”. There are proper channels for whistleblowing at the Home Office. Leaking internal documents to the media is not OK. I hope they find the person responsible.
In @Telegraph I argue that if Burnham does water down or abandon the proposed reforms to indefinite leave for remain then he will saddle the taxpayer with a huge bill and sink his credibility on immigration before he even gets into power. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/2…

@PeterSweden7 Certainly evidence of a much tougher stance on returns of FAS from the EU than we have ever seen before. Watch the stats…
IT'S BEGINNING A group of EU countries are now working to SEND REJECTED as*lum seekers to deportation centres in Rwanda and Uzbekistan. This comes after the EU Parliament voted YES to allow Return Hubs. The EU countries involved are Denmark, Austria, Greece, Germany and the Netherlands. Big changes are happening in Europe.
