In today's brief: Boris promises to compensate fishermen as it is revealed fisheries minister was too 'busy' to read Brexit deal fine print on fish. Meanwhile, British suppliers continue to struggle to get food into NI and Brexit Britain carves out new foreign policy.Boris vows to compensate fishermen for delays: Fishermen are warning No. 10 that hold-ups due to bureaucracy, IT problems and confusion have caused them to lose out on business. The Scottish government has been criticised for not being prepared for the changes and exacerbating issues around seafood exports, but now fishermen are calling on Downing Street to sort out the delays.Boris Johnson has promised to compensate Scottish fishermen and said there were "teething problems" with the new arrangements, although this comment has sparked anger amongst some in the industry. Boris said he understood the reaction of the fishing community and pledged it would be a "temporary frustration", but insisted the deal presented "a massive opportunity for Scotland and the whole of the UK with the increase in quotas".However, it's not altogether clear whether the £100 million compensation fund is different from the £100 million investment fund for fishing... would be a major error if the two were found to be one and the same. Fisheries minister did not read Brexit deal: With UK Fisheries still warning about the future of the UK's distant-water fishing fleet and angry seafood exporters calling on Downing Street to sort out delays, the situation will not be helped by reports that the fisheries minister, Victoria Prentis was too 'busy' to read the Brexit deal. The minister has raised eyebrows after disclosing she was busy organising a nativity trail on Christmas Eve when the Brexit deal was agreed, and didn't read the fine print on fish. British suppliers are giving up on NI: Northern Ireland faces a "critical few months" amid fears supermarket shortages could get worse as British food suppliers give up on exports. Many British firms have said they will no longer send goods to Northern Ireland due to the new rules that were included in the Northern Ireland Protocol. Warnings of Northern Ireland being shut off from the rest of the UK had been coming for months, but with the government having kept the Withdrawal Agreement and Northern Ireland Protocol after meetings of the Joint Committee, the problems are expected to get worse. Food and Drink Federation chief executive Ian Wright warned that without changes to the deals, the industry would have to rethink its supply routes, leading to increased costs and delays. A UK Government spokesman said a dedicated team has been set up to work with the food industry on the issue and that the grace period for supermarkets was "working well" but yesterday when speaking to the Liaison Committee, Boris said he would exercise Article 16 of the Northern Ireland Protocol if "some piece of bureaucracy that's misapplied" caused serious problems.One of the world's biggest transport companies has suspended deliveries to Britain - blaming Brexit red tape. German-based DB Schenker said that several consignments had been stuck at Channel ports due to customers' paperwork not being properly filled out. The firm is not thought to move food from Europe so there are no fears that supply chains to supermarkets will be affected.Brexit Britain's foreign policy: In the Spectator, James Forsyth looks at Brexit Britain's new start on foreign policy and how it is standing up to China and putting principle before profit. This is no doubt something which the Americans will be taking note of, particularly whilst the EU is still pursuing Chinese investment at every opportunity. One cabinet minister told Forsyth that the EU deal with Beijing, heavily pushed by the Germans during their presidency of the EU Council, 'shows the EU isn't going in the same direction as us on China' and remarks that it'll be 'interesting to see what the Biden administration thinks about that'.He also talks about the UK's ambitions for a D10 alliance of democracies that share an interest in countering China and how the UK's accession to the CPTPP could also help boost other tech-savvy Asian countries, taking away from China's domination in this area. So it seems that Britain will look to the rest of the globe for its future alliances and will move closer towards the likes of Canada, the US and Australia as it looks to carve out its post-Brexit place in the world.Britain must not compromise on financial services: On our site today is an article by Professor of Economics, David Blake, who warns that in the forthcoming financial services agreement with the EU, Britain must avoid another disaster and not blindly accept that we follow EU rules in order to access its single market.

wasteof you know full well if you want to talk Lloyds, go to the other board instead of being pompous on this one.

[mikemichael2] 14/1/2021 11:34

I see Murray has it now, why don't we see charts telling us how these people who are sticking to the 3 rules are getting it??

[mikemichael2] 14/1/2021 11:30

I have no problem with poles, my best friend from school days is polish, they are very similar to our hard working responsible Brits, not the thicko scumbags we see.

Lefrene,

How is this relevant to Lloyds Bank?

"Here is an example of a blatant outright liar, you have to wonder who is rewarding him?"

Thanks

lefrene

You really are STUPID and cheshire thinks you are intelligent. Hilarious!

[lefrene] 14/1/2021 11:22

Here is an example of a blatant outright liar, you have to wonder who is rewarding him?

He claims to have listened to Trumps speech (a non inflammatory speech imo) at the Whitehouse and then walked down to the Capitol to force his way in. The problem with his lie is that the crowd began forcing their way in barely 2 minutes after Trump started speaking, and it's about two miles and thus a 45 minute walk from the Whitehouse to the Capitol, and the whole area was closed to vehicles, so no chance of a ride. His lies are on record now, I guess he's hoping that they won't catch up with him in the future, because if they do I bet his pay masters won't be there to help him.
