Condiment sachets could be banned across the entire UK

Single-use plastic condiment sachets are being outlawed in Northern Ireland under post- Brexit rules, with Defra planning a consultation on aligning the rest of the UK with the EU ban.

Andy Burnham is considering aligning the UK with European Union standards on food and drink in an effort to end border checks.

The proposed alignment would allow UK exports of fresh sausages, burgers, shellfish and seed potatoes to the EU to resume.

The agreement is also expected to allow for the return of UK pet passports for travel into the EU.

Burnham clarified that he has not proposed bringing back freedom of movement, but urged an honest discussion regarding post-Brexit immigration changes.
