RE: No deal- due to fish 20p is coming27 Nov 2020 21:03
Tory MP Andrew Bridgen claimed fishing - which has proved one of the biggest sticking points in negotiations between Britain and Brussels - is a distraction. The Brexiteer warned the EU will drop the issue and instead demand a compromise on the so-called level playing field, aimed at preventing unfair competition by cutting standards or increasing state subsidies.
Mr Bridgen tweeted: “Despite Macron’s faux rage, the fish issue is a Red Herring and will be ditched at the last minute, the EU will ask the UK to compromise on what they really want which is the so called ‘level playing field’.
“This would hamstring the UK forever with EU regulations.
“We must not surrender our red lines.”
Mr Bridgen's warning comes as face-to-face negotiations between chief negotiators Lord Frost and Michel Barnier are due to continue in London tomorrow.
