Starmer denies claim ‘win-win’ UK-EU deal has sold out fishing sector
Keir Starmer has rejected claims he has sold out the fishing sector, saying the deal between the UK and the EU is 'good for fishing'. The last-minute agreement was reached early on Monday morning and will remove checks on agrifoods, add £9bn to the UK economy and lower food prices, according to No 10. The trade-off for the deal was fishing access and rights for an additional 12 years – more than the UK had offered – which is likely to lead to claims of betrayal from the industry
