Salmon Scotland, the trade body which represents the fish farms behind the UK’s largest food export, said the EU trade deal would “slash red tape” and cut export costs.

The organisation estimates that post-Brexit food export rules cost exporters around £3m a year, with France the sector’s biggest customer. The sector sold £844m worth of farmed salmon overseas last year, with £462m sent to France alone.

Tavish Scott, the chief executive of Salmon Scotland and former leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, is at a reception to celebrate the deal in London later. He said:

We congratulate the UK government on securing this deal with the EU, which will slash red tape and speed up the delivery of our premium salmon to market.

This breakthrough eases the burden on our farmers, processors and the communities they support, and we welcome efforts to implement it at pace. The withdrawal of physical checks is particularly welcome. It means lower costs and quicker deliveries for our customers.

List of loads of businesses who are all for the UK/EU reset deal and a list of three people who are against it (Badenoch, Farage and Swinney)

Plenty of people & businesses who are all for the UK/EU reset deal.

Maybe if Badenoch & Farage took time to talk to these businesses they might learn something, oh wait it doesn’t benefit their millionaire mates so they won’t!

Petition: Hold a referendum on re-joining the European Union I want the government to hold a referendum on whether the UK should Rejoin the European Union.

Things have changed A LOT since Labour published it's manifesto.
America is no longer a trusted ally.
It's clearly in our best interests to #RejoinEU
If they don't change tac then we'll vote tactically to get them OUT and @libdems.org.uk and TheGreenParty IN!

In the debate re rejoining the EU yesterday, the government claimed that the British public don't want to rejoin.
Let's make it clear they're dead wrong about that by signing & sharing this new petition. Can we get this over 100k to ensure another debate?

It’s unanimous: All GB constituencies favour trade with EU over US A massive new MRP poll has revealed that every constituency in Britain thinks the Government should prioritise trade with the EU over the USA and other countries.

It's unanimous.

A majority of voters in every constituency in England, Scotland and Wales think the government should prioritise trade with the EU over Trump's America or other countries.

It's even the most popular view in Clacton. (Sorry Nigel 🙃)
