Exc: Former Northern Ireland Secretaries urge government to take the province more seriously after a week of unrest

Peter Hain: successive governments have shown “casual indifference” towards NI

Mandelson: Johnson must show “more candour & engagement” politicshome.com/news/article/n…
Peter Hain (Northern Ireland Secretary 05-07): “Compared with the attention Blair, Major and Brown gave to Northern Ireland, it has been treated with casual indifference, Frankly, I find it really upsetting”

Johnson should have flown out there “days ago” politicshome.com/news/article/n…
"The government has allowed this to degenerate to the most serious crisis for a quarter of a century," Hain told PoliticsHome

He singled out “respected” Julian Smith, who Johnson sacked as Northern Ireland Secretary when he became PM, as an exception politicshome.com/news/article/n…

Several shellfish businesses have got in touch to explain why DEFRA's plan to build purification tanks in the UK won't revive live exports to the EU

Purification reduces shelf life and even if it didn't they'd need tanks as big as swimming pools, they say
politicshome.com/news/article/s…
So yday Eustice told me that DEFRA would use some of the £100m fishing fund to let shellfish businesses build their own purification tanks in time for winter trading

This would allow them to depurate mussels, cockles etc before sending them to EU

But... politicshome.com/news/article/g…
As Devon-based mussel exporter John Holmyard explained, purification reduces shelf life and his exports would die before or soon after arriving in Europe

Or as James Green, an Oyster exporter in Kent put it: buyers "in France do not want purified oysters" politicshome.com/news/article/s…

Exclusive: The government is planning to revive shellfish exports by the winter by building purification sites across the UK, George Eustice tells me

He said DEFRA would use the £100m fishing fund to set up facilities if the EU doesn't change its rules

politicshome.com/news/article/g…
Eustice said the EU was "not in a position" to discuss its prohibition on live shellfish caught in class B waters

If it doesn't budge, DEFRA will build purification sites nationwide before the end of the yr

How many traders can afford to wait that long?

politicshome.com/news/article/g…
Does Eustice understand why some fishers feel betrayed?

Gov "didn't get everything we wanted" in its trade deal w/ the EU and "that's no secret," he said

But leaving the SM/CU means “additional administration" that "businesses would always rather not do" politicshome.com/news/article/g…

Exclusive: The government is currently looking at a menu of options for postponing checks on EU imports planned to be in place by July 1st

One is gradually phasing them in from July 1st, while another is delaying them altogether, I'm told

politicshome.com/news/article/b…
Frost has asked officials to review the timetable for introducing checks on EU goods, as @tobyhelm & @Joe_Mayes have reported

There's "real nervousness" within HMG that delays could derail the reopening of hospitality and lead to empty supermarket shelves politicshome.com/news/article/b…
Frost is expected to put plans to potentially postpone checks on EU imports to Cabinet colleagues this week, potentially as soon as today

The first wave of checks are due to take effect in just over three weeks on April 1st politicshome.com/news/article/b…

A perfect storm potentially awaits in a few months time when the UK begins checks on EU imports

The new paperwork will come in from April to July as restaurants & pubs reopen

Delays will affect veg, meat, cheese & wine when demand is expected to rocket politicshome.com/news/article/b…
"There would've been a full-blown crisis in NI in January had restaurants been open... same sort of thinking could play out for EU-UK flows," said @ColdChainShane

importers are set to face the same issues as exporters: overnight trade becoming 4/5 days politicshome.com/news/article/b…
What could that mean in practice?

Food suppliers being unable to meet a big increase in demand when hospitality reopens & the UK wants to celebrate

It threatens to disrupt "all businesses in the UK food industry" this spring/summer, warned @dominicgoudie politicshome.com/news/article/b…
