The UK shellfish industry is on the verge of collapse. And the government seem either ignorant or - more likely - unconcerned. They're not even giving the correct information. My God, the lies that were told about how great Brexit would be for the fishing industry...
@LaurenGKent@cnni An American broadcaster spotlighting the devastation to our fishing industry. Meanwhile, Scottish/UK MSM - never away from a dock during EURef campaign & years since, promoting Brexit - are suddenly nowhere to be seen.
Shellfish fishermen explain to @cnni how Brexit red tape is threatening to kill their small businesses and having long-term impacts on fishing towns across the UK. And wait until you see the extra paperwork...

Why import fish when the EU can catch the fish themselves? It's a betrayal. Our fishing industry coastal communities & seaside tourism need our support to thrive. Brexit is not all about big business. Uts our landscapes, agriculture, coastal communities & the way we live too.
How is it that the EU is able to ban shellfish from the UK while freely roaming our waters taking what they like?
The fishing deal with the EU must be renegotiated. The govt holds the cards.
Terminate the deal @BorisJohnson@MPGeorgeEustice https://t.co/l7XhQpc5Z6
The EU calls itself a ‘rules-based organisation’. What it really means is: ‘We set the rules, you obey them, and when they don’t work in our favour we’ll invent new ones.’ It deploys Euro-speak to hide its true intentions, says @bencobley

What's the point in WHO inspecting the Wuhan Seafood Market a year after the outbreak?
It's like SOCO turning up at your house a year after the burglary & dusting for fingerprints.
But if UK want to ship this vaccine to NI next year, there’ll be problems: by then NI medical imports will be under EU rules.

'So awful!' Furious Nigel Farage rages at Boris Johnson's deal as fishing uprising erupts https://t.co/jC2PzKWlvR Our Government didn't even secure the 6-12mile, our territorial waters. We must reinstate The 1988 Merchant Shipping Act, this is our only chance of survival.
One year on from Brexit, the speed with which the UK is seeking and striking global trade deals only serves to underline how ridiculous it was that we spent so long negotiating our exit - and how right the Gov. was to insist UK/EU FTA negotiations be concluded inside a year.
I would say well done but @pritipatel until you have stopped the boats from arriving and giving them hotel rooms this government has failed us completely.
China’s passed a law that obliges all Chinese citizens overseas to provide assistance to the country’s intelligence services if requested. If China’s Security ministry tells the boss of Huawei in Britain to do some spying, then he is obliged to obey. https://t.co/4CzwcD6CaD
The EU’s hot-headed envy and hostility towards the UK over vaccines shows why we must not let civil servants crash us into the EU’s Defence Fund and associated military policy.
The main people trying to do this are
• Foreign Office’s Euro-Atlantic Security Policy Unit
• ADS Ltd
Lest you forget.
The Johnson Government’s decision not to join the EU vaccine procurement programme was widely vilified at the time. Today’s Daily Mail has a useful catalogue of who said what when
eg The Observer: “Brexit means Covid vaccine will be slower to reach UK.”
We’re putting our manifesto commitment to tree lined streets into law.
All new developments will be expected to be lined with trees to make more beautiful neighbourhoods.🌳🌳🌳 https://t.co/7SWqofqvYr
