Balancing the books?

This graph seems to sum up @_KateForbes approach to avoiding a funding gap

Protect and grow spending on priorities like NHS and social security, while flatlining cash available to other areas (equivalent to a cut) until near the end of this Holyrood term Image
Here’s what that means for local government for instance - no new money until 2026/27 Image
Looks like there’s a freeze on higher education funding and student support too… Image

I interrupt the eating of chocolate and watching of movies to bring you some fishing news 🐟 #Brexit

Here is page 909 of the UK-EU trade deal granting “full access” to each others waters until 30 June 2026
Continued access is subject to changes in quota shares over time

For instance, the EU fleet’s 47% share of the North Sea cod catch in 2021, reduces to 43% by 2026
What happens from 2026?

The quota tables envisage 2026 shares continuing into the future

These seem to be subject to “annual consultations” and a possible review of the overall agreement after 4 years (presumably 2030)

On fish @vonderleyen claims EU has secured 5.5 years of stable access to fishing waters, which @MichelBarnier describes as “reciprocal”

That does not sound like the fully independent coastal state status with annual quota negotiations that the UK side was targeting

MD: Govt in London must respect decision of Welsh Assembly which opposes withdrawal bill in current form

Opens way to decisive shift away from current social, environmental protections
