A punk band from Germany say they were “humiliated” and “degraded” after being refused entry to the UK for their British tour due to “opaque and confusing” post-Brexit rule changes.

Trigger Cut, a three-piece from Stuttgart, were due to play seven venues in the UK this week but say they were turned away by the UK Border Force at Calais on Thursday 6 April.
