Curiously since Brexit the delays entering the EU seem very small, limited to getting the passport stamped. No hassle, not stupid questions about where are going / have been none of which I feel, as a UK citizen, I should have to answer on entry to UK, and when I arrive at Eurotunnel rarely give a "complete" answer to - but I never lie! (not because I have anything to hide, but because its none of their bl00dy business!
Why should you have to answer to someone to re-enter your own country? From experience this year, Heathrow have definitely been better than most / all.
