Boris Johnson Accused of Sending UK Fishermen ‘Down the River’ Over Brexit Trade Deal.
Boris Johnson has been accused of ‘sacrificing’ the UK’s fishing industry in exchange for a Brexit trade deal. Industry leaders have called foul on a quota compromise that allows EU vessels to carry on fishing in UK waters for five years as politicians begin poring over the details of the Christmas Eve deal.
Just hours after finally brokering a trade agreement with the EU following a string of missed deadlines, Mr Johnson published a video to Twitter saying the 500-page document could serve as a “present for anyone who may be looking for something to read in that sleepy post-Christmas lunch moment”.
