@BorisJohnson fails to “take back control” for Britain’s fishing communities.
1/ With the end of the Brexit transition period on 1 Jan 2020 fast approaching, Britain’s fishermen face possible ruin as Johnson’s Govt fails to negotiate new fishing quotas with Norway.

2/ With much fanfare surrounding UK’s first fishing deal as an “independent coastal state” with Norway, there is currently no legal basis for UK Fisheries’ distant-waters vessels to fish cod from the end of this year.
3/ Meanwhile, the Norwegians, under their present fishing deal with the European Union, will continue to be able to fish for Arctic cod in the North Sea – bringing it ashore to the UK.
4/ To save the livelihoods of hundreds of families, the Government now has no choice but to strike a deal with Norway and other countries.
Last chance saloon for Britain’s fishing communities.
No more rhetoric. It’s as simple as that.

5/ Hundreds of families bought into the Leave ideal, they trusted @BorisJohnson to “take back control”
Their livelihoods hang by a thread, their futures & those of their children out of their hands riding on the hubris of a populist PM.
A spectacular failure of statecraft.
