EU GB number plates will no longer be valid. These are plates with a “GB” country identifier (or other UK variations, e.g. Cymru) surrounded by the EU star design. You will need to have a GB (or other UK variation) sticker or a number plate without the EU stars.
I would like to see an official link that states that.

You mean like the non existent checks on headlight adaptors, triangles, Hivis vests that people keep mentioning but never happen.

a few years ago I was told of someone that had been pulled over at a police check point were all UK cars were being stopped and the police were going through all the cars contents checking everything was legal, apparently they were there for over an hour and got fined.
the story was all over social media with pics (this was just after the new breathalyser law came in) the car owner who had seen the post then stated that he hadn't been stopped but the police officer was helping them change a flat tyre. lol

IF, you have an accident or are caught speeding they may well check, other than that? Meh!
