Bad news for anyone in Scotland's fishing industries hoping for some action from the UK Government to help with that problem of getting their products to the European markets #BrexitChaos
It wasn't just me who got a negative response, either, @Stuart_McDonald and @neilgraysnp pressed for support for Scotland's fishing industry but the Tory Government still doesn't see the problem -

and hauliers are finding the UK Government's systems are just not fit for purpose - bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

It's the assurances that the Prime Minister gave so glibly to fishing communities that everything would go smoothly. This is the link to the video - vimeo.com/358261214?ref=…
