UK suspends trade talks with Israel as Lammy calls Gaza blockade ‘morally wrong’ and ‘unjustifiable’ – UK politics live

Foreign secretary tells parliament that the Israeli government's egregious actions and rhetoric' are isolating the country from its friends and partners

The Scottish secretary has said the new UK-EU trade deal provides 12 years of certainty and stability" for the fishing industry, amid criticism from the industry that the government has made too large a concession to the EU on fishing rights.

The Scottish Fishermen's Federation (SFF) has described the deal as a horror show", but Ian Murray said: I don't agree with that."

It gives 12 years of certainty and stability for the industry, it doesn't change any of the deal that was put in place in 2019, which is 25% more quotas for UK and Scottish trawlers and it gives wide access, of course to the new markets of the EU, in terms of pushing away all that red tape that was there before.

Not one more fish will be taken out of Scottish waters by an EU trawler as part of this deal and that provides that stability and certainty.

We should never trust Keir Starmer. You know, he's screwing things up domestically, so he gets on the international bandwagon.

He's selling us out, not just on Brexit, but on Chagos and ... we're hearing all sorts of things about Gibraltar. We'll hold them to account on this. Where Labour negotiates, Britain always seem to lose.
