Capturing biometrics for passengers in vehicles was always going to be hard. We believe there are technologies out there to help - and will continue to explore through our @border_mgmt channels. #biometrics #futureborders #ibmata

The UK Together rally in London today is being sold as a march of love, unity, and hope - against racism and the far-right.
But a quick look at who’s backing it reveals a very different story. 🧵
Today’s the day!
Meet at 12pm on Park Lane to march together against the far right.
Let’s make history.

New EU biometric border checks due to be introduced at the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel next month have been delayed again. The French authorities are having ongoing technical issues with what's called the Entry Exit system.

From 25 February, British dual nationals will no longer be allowed to enter the UK using only a foreign passport.
To board a plane, they’ll need a valid British passport or a ’Certificate of Entitlement’ - costing £589.
The Home Office says airlines can accept expired UK passports at their own discretion, but there’s no legal guarantee you won’t be turned away at the airport gate.
