Attended and voted at my first Fisheries committee today.
Can’t believe LibDem MEP
@ChrisDaviesLD
told me outside UK territorial waters belong to EU and we are not leaving.
He aggressively stuck his face in mine. Not the action of a British gentleman No surrender!
The European Fish Producers Organisations estimate a loss of €20 billion a year if they loose access to UK waters. Thats a lot more than the insignificant industry were portrayed to be. The EU have built new fleets and infrastructure off the back of access to our waters.
The Dutch have taken advantage of UK waters for far to long, Electric Pulse Fishing, Super Trawlers. ITV what about U.K. Coastal Communities that have had the heart ripped out of them, did the Dutch care about them NO.
I can't believe that after supporting
#UKfisheries
and
#coastalcommunities
,
@BorisJohnson
will abandon them to unchecked
#EU
control for 11 months. With less than two weeks to go before
#Brexit
, it is paramount we have an oversight mechanism on EU fisheries policy.

Anger as 'world's biggest' supertrawlers fish off Cornwall "scoops up everything that swims"dolphin populations could take a hammering.
@BorisJohnson
how can you sit back and let this happen.
Ben Habib is one of the most genuine and decent persons I have ever met.
He is smart, honest, hard working, great guy.
He is one of the only true Brexiteers that has stood by the fishing industry.
He is a superb candidate for Wellingborough he will serve the people well.
'I will stand in the Commons and hold this wretched government to account.'
Ben Habib has been selected as the Reform UK candidate to run in the Wellingborough by-election.

EU fishermen demand SAME access to UK waters in Brexit deal as system ‘working well’ What part of NO do you not understand. How on earth can the UK rebuild our Coastal Communities if we continue to allow the EU to take our resource.
@VictoriaPrentis
.
This is the first time I have come across this classy bird! Why will our fishing, farming, manufacturing be f..ked Emma ? The fishing industry will thrive once we leave the EU, we can rebuild deprived Coastal Communities that have suffered for years, & protect our waters.
Not on our watch! That is all I have to say to these French bullies - trying to intimidate us with their cheap threats. We want our fish back and if we have to stand up to these people, then we will. We are bringing fishing home, like it or lump it!
Change of tune, I wonder what your after
@EmmanuelMacron
? 🌊🐟 , no surrender
@BorisJohnson
, please for the sake of our Coastal Communities we must stand firm, thank you. 🇬🇧⚓️
It is time to break free from the Brussels stranglehold and protect our fisheries from these monster factory trawlers, yet
@BorisJohnson
’s deal will keep us in the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) for many years to come.
I love how the Irish are trying to talk up how they are going to 'protect' EU interests in the Irish sea. Just a suggestion, but wouldn't it be better to look at how they can best serve Irish fishing interests, rather than those of the EU.
@afneil
Free lunch is over Mr Macron, Im afraid the French, Dutch and the rest of the EU fishing ind will need to get used to cutting their cloth and fleet to reflect what is in their own waters. UK had to when Iceland took back control of their waters.
Brexit 'opportunity to ban supertrawlers from UK waters' This is Music to my ears, how on earth any government has allowed this to go on is beyond belief.
As Britain ATTEMPTS to take back control of its waters, wakey wakey
@SkyNews
WE ARE taking back control of our waters and the resource
@BorisJohnson
@DavidGHFrost
please have word.
The French fishing industry is worried about its future as Britain attempts to take back control of its waters after Brexit.
Get more on this story here:
If fishing is handed over to the EU it wouldn’t just be a betrayal, it would be one of the weakest strokes a government could pull.
@DavidGHFrost
@BorisJohnson
you must remain firm and true to your word.
The UK being sovereign, having total control of its laws, borders, cash and waters should never have been on the table.
There will be trouble if any of these are in the 40% being conceded.
@DavidGHFrost
@BorisJohnson
Almost choked on my coffee reading this one.
Macron is demanding EU access to UK fishing waters for 25 years!
Boris needs to tell the little Napoleon where to get off to be frank.
Full control of our fishing waters or WTO it is. An absolute red line!
"We want no part of your European empire."

This is not just about money, this is about our sovereignty. Fishing is the U.K’s most sustainable renewable resource. That GDP is everything to coastal communities. Our waters have been abused by the EU. UK will have a sustainable Ind, best in the world. Where do you live ? 🇬🇧⚓️
interesting Sunday reads on fish negotiations - useful context on quantum here - talking about 700k tonnes of fish worth half a billion £ a year fished by eu27 in Uk EEZ. So EU reportedly proposed restoring 18% to UK, others say UK wants 80% - argument over £300m of 🐠 0.01% GDP
Somebody has retweeted this speech I did in the EU. Seems a life time ago.

stand firm, please do not throw Coastal Communities to the wolves. 🇬🇧⚓️
@TheBluetrot
by my side, love him.
Sensational speech boss, thank you for giving me a platform for the Fishing Industry my love and respect to you. ⚓️🇬🇧 Coastal Communities have hope and you sir have given them that.
At last the government seem to be listening, thank you to all my followers who have helped me highlight this, we still have a way to go, but I see light on the horizon. Once we take FULL control of our waters, Fishing is coming home ! 🇬🇧⚓️🌊
Dear
@DavidGHFrost
, please could you give the Great British Public an update on where Fishing & Coastal Communities stand. I for one am fed up with the uncertainty, to have some reassurances before Christmas would be good tidings to all. Merry Christmas Sir. 🎄🇬🇧
Yes
@BorisJohnson
please get Brexit done, I plea with you not to slip through Mays horrendous Deal for the fourth time, as you well know this would be a disaster for the UK. The Fishing Industry and Coastal Communities will suffer badly, don't sell us out.

Fish. Expect a row over fishing rights in UK waters after Brexit. 8 EU countries want quotas to continue. They’ll lobby to block EU market to UK fish if don’t get them. It’s a tiny part of UK economy (in stark contrast to services) but politically a scalding hot potato for PM /15
@JMPSimor
What about our Coastal Communities that have the heart ripped of of them. The French couldn’t give a damn about the U.K. They have had nearly 5 years notice. Do you live in the UK ? Serious question.
Well said James, when we leave the EU, we will need boats built, in Lowestoft where I live we had 2 of the biggest shipbuilding yards in the UK, employing hundreds of people, Engineers, Platers, Welders Joiners, administrators etc. all gone. Coastal and rural towns need jobs.
There are 186 Coastal MP’s who’s job it is to serve their constituents. Fishing is the natural industry in Coastal towns and villages, 40 years ago that resource was traded away by Ted Heath. It is paramount these MP’s fight for its return. ⚓️🇬🇧
As
@DavidGHFrost
enters negotiations next week he should be reminded of the representation made by the PM on 20 December 2019 that no fixed allocation of fishing would be made to the EU.
Do not budge on fishing!
@BorisJohnson
#UK
#coastalcommunities
have suffered long enough at the hands of the
#EU
and I say
#NoMore
! Taking back control of our fishing grounds will provide new opportunities, well-paid jobs and instil a forgotten sense of community pride.
The SNP has long contradicted itself by wanting EU membership and freedom from the CFP. However, following an embarrassing slip by a senior SNP official, it seems they actually intend to BETRAY Scottish fishers in exchange for EU membership!
Exactly, Sorry Monsieur Macron, our Coastal Communities will come first, for over forty years they have been abandoned, but no more, Fishing is coming home 🇬🇧⚓️
Just the 63rd consecutive weekend of huge nationwide protests against Macron.
With disapproval ratings hitting almost 70 % he would be wise to focus on his own problems instead of trying to bully the UK.
The less influence he has on us the better!
EU willing to allow UK to break from Common Fisheries Policy Dear Prime Minister, please stay strong, do not bow down to Mr Barnier threats. We will never rebuild our Coastal Communities if we do not take back full control.

. Pierre you have been in the job five minutes and think you are cock of the walk. The UK is taking back control of our waters, its our back garden and we want it back.
Sturgeon scolded by fishing chief for 'undermining' UK's position in Brexit trade talks Scotland is part of Great Britain ruled by Westminster, Ms Sturgeon should not be involved in any negotiations. The UK must take back full control, WATERS & THE FISH.
How about we get rid of the 1,70O EU vessels plundering our ocean daily, 8 of which are Super trawlers. These vessels are un policed we have no idea what they are catching. How many more times, we could be looking at a Grand Banks situation.
@BorisJohnson

I'm getting really hacked off with some MPs, Lord's, journalists saying Boris Johnson got Brexit done.
How can we be an independent coastal state when we don't control our waters.
Oil & Gas, Wind, Aggregates or Fish, rich resources the UK should be harvesting from OUR waters.
My Hero !, When we leave the EU on 31st October 2019, and take back full control of our waters, I will never forget who stood by the Fishing Communities

This is not just about fish, this is about Coastal Communities that have the heart ripped out of them. We have an opportunity to rebuild deprived towns and villages, creating 1000's of jobs. Fishing is the UK's most sustainable renewable resource, it is non - negotiable.

This is the kind of insults the fishing industry and Coastal Communities have to put up. Fishing the UK’s most renewable sustainable resource. A much needed food source. Our sovereign waters, the length and breath of Britain. 🇬🇧⚓️.

take back control.
Professor Danny Blanchflower economist & fisherman
NOt sure what all this fuss about fish is about? According to this there are 7000 workers employed in UK fishing
Wouldn't it be simpler to give them all say GBP100,000 each and let fishing disappear into the ether like VHS video stores What am I missing?
Well said

I just witnessed the French Navy escorting illegal migrants into British waters, despite the money we are paying them.
They even tried to prevent us from filming the handover, as you can see in the video.
This is an outrage and a scandal. Time for the government to get a grip.
Malcom has been fishing out of Lowestoft since he was 15, his knowledge and expertise is second to none. As you can see he is baiting up by hand. British fisherman believe in sustainable fishing !
This wonderful gentleman is baiting up his line for his next trip. He spoke eloquently about how his catch allowable quota (catch) has collapsed 80% and this discards are “forced” on him by the evil CFP. Others cheat, he said. We Brits have paperclip jobsworths enforcing rules.
Just a quick reminder of what we're fighting to repatriate. That it is worth £6-8bn to British coastal communities AND the bare minimum the government must deliver to avoid

@BorisJohnson
?
In 1971 the EEC insisted on equal access to UK fishing waters as a price for the UK joining. Now the UK's share off the Cornish coast is approximately 10% of haddock & 8% of cod, whereby French fishermen can snare 70% . This is why fish matters in any
