Wednesday newspaper round-up: Brexit border outages, Boeing, Stellantis
(Sharecast News) - Lorries carrying perishable food and plants from the EU are being held for up to 20 hours at the UK's busiest Brexit border post as failures with the government's IT systems delay imports entering Britain. Businesses have described the government's new border control checks as a "disaster" after IT outages led to lorries carrying meat, cheese and cut flowers being held for long periods, reducing the shelf life of their goods and prompting retailers to reject some orders. - Guardian Boeing has violated a settlement that allowed the company to avoid criminal prosecution after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft, the US justice department told a federal judge on Tuesday. It is now up to the justice department to decide whether to file charges against the aircraft maker amid increasing scrutiny over the safety of its planes. Prosecutors will tell the court no later than 7 July how they plan to proceed, the justice department said. - Guardian

Taxpayers spent a total of almost 800 years last year waiting on the phone to speak to HM Revenue & Customs amid a "declining spiral" of customer service, according to the government's spending watchdog. In a damning report, it said that HMRC failed to answer up to 45 per cent of calls to its tax helpline. People who did manage to speak to an adviser waited 23 minutes on average, up from five minutes in 2019. - The Times
