Britons to use e-gates in Switzerland as Starmer seals £5.2bn trade deal

British nationals will soon breeze through Swiss airports and border crossings thanks to a new £5.2bn trade deal brokered by Keir Starmer, potentially his last major international agreement as prime minister. The deal eliminates roaming charges and ensures continued fair trade in medicines, cars, art, and jewelry. Starting this year, British travelers will have access to e-gates, initially at Zurich, Basel, and Geneva airports, promising shorter queues and smoother passage. This trade agreement underscores the UK's commitment to maintaining strong economic ties with Switzerland even after Brexit.
