Theresa May is facing a Brexit backlash from Tory MPs over her "abject betrayal" of Britain's fishermen with rebels planning a fishing boat protest on the Thames.

Jacob Rees-Mogg, leader of a 60-strong group of Eurosceptic Conservative MPs, and others are due to board a boat and pass by Parliament throwing fish into the Thames in protest at the alleged “sellout”.

A Brexit transition deal agreed with Brussels allows the EU to maintain control of Britain’s territorial waters until the end of 2020, which protestors described as “a potential death sentence” for the British fishing fleet.

Ruth Davidson, the Scottish Conservatives leader, joined the growing rebellion as she warned Mrs May that the...

What is Jeremy's position I wonder?

See my earlier post on Jacob Rees-Mogg chucking fish in the Thames.

Your post on this repeats what I've already posted. :-)

Will Moggy's fish be dead or alive? Surely, there must either be a cruelty to animals issue, or a pollution issue with what he's doing?

Hopefully, they'll lock him up for it and throw away the key!

Yeah instead of fish he should round up a load of remainers and chuck them in instead.

I nominate Fred to be first :-)

More bad Brexit news...inflation is down and now at a 7 month low. If that wasn't enough, the pound is getting stronger.

I blame global warming .

Well it's certainly got nothing to do with Corby and his clowns.

National humiliation as post-Brexit passports set to be made by Franco-Dutch firm

Vicky and Jimbo will be frothing at the lips.

:o)

Not only Jimmy and Vic.

Yes. Not only Jimmy and Vic and Iturama.

It's bloody disgusting about the passport printing contract for the UK's new passports might be won by/given to a non-UK printer. And embarrassing too!

De La Rue said Thursday it missed out on the contract to print the UK's new post-Brexit blue passports but insisted that this would not have an impact on the performance of the current and next financial year.

The current 10-year contract with Her Majesty's Passport Office (HMPO) - due to expire in July 2019 - had a total value of roughly £400m.

'The company is disappointed with the outcome of the tender process and will now consider its options including an appeal,' De la Rue said.

Maybe time to chuck some passports in the Thames, I think. And let's get a properly/adequately licensed boat this time, too. All is not yet lost.

tells you something about DLR's pricing and/or productivity, for i think it was something like £50m cheaper to print in Europe, despite the comparative strength of €

why do you think the shipbuilding industry collapsed?
it wasn't just because it was strike-prone thanks to militant unions

Let's face it ladies, it hardly seems worth the hassle of leaving, does it?

:-)

Fortunately for me, my passport is getting ready for a renewal. I might just manage to get away paying for one new one.

Or will the blighters scam me for two.....?

Cynic? Where are you?

UK Should adopt the German method of quotation.

It the answer is Siemens. Then what is the question.

Works every time.

I have no problem with who makes our passports as long as they are blue and British .
Should get the Germans over here to do our roads as well ,bloody disgusting ,like a third world country now.

I think I'm right in saying that the price of passports is going up within the next few days. So be quick if it needs renewing!

I think also, that it's going to be cheaper to do it online than by post.
