UK-EU deal tips Britain down path towards Swiss-style arrangement
Monday, 19 May 2025 () There's a trick to announcing trade agreements like the one unveiled by the prime minister on Monday: pluck out a big-sounding number and release it to the public with zero context in an effort to make this sound very impressive indeed.
Keir Starmer’s government is facing strong criticism after agreeing to a deal that allows EU fishing vessels continued access to UK waters for 12 more years. Scottish fishermen and politicians have slammed the agreement as a betrayal, calling it a “horror show” that endangers local communities and the fishing industry. The Scottish Government and opposition parties accuse UK ministers of ignoring devolved consent and sacrificing fishermen’s interests for political gain. Critics warn the deal risks harming coastal economies and undermines post-Brexit sovereignty.
