Rishi Sunak ‘seeks EU deal’ to end Brexit border chaos for holidaying Brits

Long delays at passport control among most unpopular fallouts from Brexit and could be solved by using EU e-gates

Rishi Sunak is said to be eyeing up a new deal with the EU to ease the post-Brexit woes of Britons travelling to the bloc after recent chaos at the border.

The prime minister reportedly wants an agreement that would let UK citizens use the EU’s e-gates for passport checks.

British diplomats have raised the issue with Brussels informally, according to Bloomberg, citing a UK official and people familiar with government thinking. No 10 insisted that no formal proposal has been put forward.
