Since #Brexit, the fishing industry has faced export delays, higher costs and an estimated loss of £80 million–£100 million in EU sales due to new regulatory hurdles. The deal could add £9 billion to the economy by 2040.

Opening remarks by PM Starmer: "Moving on from stale old debates, looking forward, not backwards, focusing on what we can do together to deliver in the national interest. That is what today is all about. We are agreeing a new strategic partnership fit for our times." ~AA #UKEUSummit

It sounds like the fishing part of the deal with the EU is trading off access to waters against access to markets
When so much of our shellfish is exported and deteriorates so rapidly this is clearly a deal worth doing
Such deals are the best we can hope for without EU membership

Remember folks, the Conservatives are the party of business and the only party that British people can trust to properly manage the UK economy.

Check out our new @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social blogpost (with @gesineweber.bsky.social ) on #UK foreign policy.
We suggest 🇬🇧 leaders could learn a thing or two from smaller states so as to design a smarter foreign policy to handle the 🇺🇸 under Trump. #ukeusummit

💡New! The UK remains vulnerable to Trump' turn away from its traditional European allies. But @meibauir.bsky.social and @gesineweber.bsky.social argue that International Relations theory offers useful toolkit for managing an unpredictable hegemon like Donald Trump.

Too bloody right & about bloody time! I would've gone much further, but I can see why the Govt didn't - because they're too afraid of losing votes to people who would rather go back to British Empire, stirred up by brood of vipers in Reform and Tories. #UKEUSummit
