Brits warned about Brexit rule that imposes 3 year ban
Going away is exciting, but before setting off, it's important for anyone planning to visit certain countries to be well-informed. This is especially true in the post-Brexit era, which has seen the introduction of new regulations in recent years. "Brexit has ruined this country, and now the majority of Britons thinks so too." RT if you are that — BladeoftheSun (@BladeoftheS) June 24, 2025 Before the UK left the EU, British passport holders could enter countries without needing to get their travel document stamped, and were allowed to stay for any duration. However, under current rules, UK travellers are limited to a maximum stay of 90 days within any 180 days in any Schengen Area country. The Schengen area is made up of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden, as well as four non-EU nations: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland. Additionally, travellers' passports must have a "date of issue" within the last 10 years before their arrival date and an "expiry date" that is at least three months after their planned departure from the Schengen area. Recommended reading: According to Foreign Office advice, failing to comply with these regulations when visiting Spain or other Schengen countries, such as Greece, France, and Italy, may result in a lengthy ban. The Foreign Office guidance for Greece warns: "If you're travelling to other Schengen countries as well, make sure your whole visit is within the 90-day visa-free limit. Visits to Schengen countries within the previous 180 days before you travel count towards your 90 days." "If you overstay the 90-day visa-free limit, you may be banned from entering Schengen countries for up to 3 years."

Trump's Tariff Trade War Has Brits Drawing A Very Unflattering Comparison
Donald Trump has caused chaos around the world this week by slapping tariffs on more than 60 countries – and Brits cannot help but compare him to Liz Truss. The US president has announced a series of 'reciprocal' taxes on international imports into America which he claims will boost his country's economy. More than 60 countries were hit with levies ranging from 10% – the rate given to the UK, New Zealand and Taliban-run Afghanistan – to 34%, which was applied to China. Those tariffs come on top of the 25% levy Trump already applied to cars and steel products earlier this year. The stock market has already plummeted in the wake of Trump's announcement, sparking fears of a worldwide recession. While some countries like Britain are hoping an economic trade deal could encourage Trump to drop tariffs on their exports, others have decided to up the ante instead. China, the second largest economy in the world after the US, hit back on Friday with a retaliatory 34% tariff on US goods. Despite all these deeply concerning signs, Trump told reporters on Thursday: 'I think it's going very well. It was an operation, like when a patient gets operated on, it was a big thing.' He added: 'The markets are going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the rest of the world wants to see if there's any way they can make a deal.' 'They've taken advantage of us for many many years,' he said, claiming they have an extra $7 trillion of investment coming into the US as a result. For the British, it reminds them of a rather similar moment of economic turmoil – Truss' historic time in No.10, which was shorter than a lettuce's shelf life. The Conservative prime minister's £45bn of unfunded tax cuts, unveiled in her October 2022 mini-Budget, sent the pound into decline. The Bank of England even had to step in to rescue the markets, and later admitted the UK was hours away from total 'financial meltdown'. So it's no surprise the chaos coming out of Washington this week even has Trump's former communications director Anthony Scaramucci making the comparison...

Trump is making Liz Truss look like a fiscal genius.#TrumpTariffs — Parody Keir Starmer (@Parody_PM) April 3, 2025 ...but plenty also pointed out that, while the Conservatives were able to oust Truss quickly and get the economy back on a slightly more even footing, Trump cannot be kicked out of the Oval Office quite that easily. ...Meanwhile, Truss herself avoided commenting on the economic comparisons at all and instead called for a trade deal with the US... Britain should do a trade deal with the US. But do not underestimate how hard the globalist, pro-EU Whitehall Blob will fight it.I saw this when I negotiated the UK-Australia free trade kinds of objections were raised and delaying tactics were used by the Blob and… — Liz Truss (@trussliz) April 3, 2025 David Lammy Blasts Donald Trump Over 'Protectionist' Tariff Move Minister Hits Back At Donald Trump's Claim Starmer Is 'Very Happy' With Tariffs Kamala Harris On Trump: 'I'm Not Gonna Say I Told You So'
