Have I got time to get a new passport for trip to Europe?

Q My passport expires in July 2025. Is the Passport Office doing renewals quickly these days? If not, when is the best time? I intend to go to Europe before March.

A Thank you for a timely question. First, the fact that your passport expires in July of next year makes me concerned that it may already be too old for a trip to Europe. This is one of many effects of Brexit on existing British passports. Your travel document would have been issued at some date between October 2014 and July 2015; before the UK voted to leave the European Union, renewed passports were routinely credited with up to nine months of unexpired time from the old document.

Marinating in the milk and honey of Israeli hyperbole
As you might expect, the “sermon near the Mount”, as delivered by Donald Trump to the Knesset in Jerusalem, was less a case of “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the sons of God” as “Blessed are you lot to have me, and you will call me your peacemaker.”
