Front pages of Express and Mail appear to revel in threat of Navy in Channel to protect fish

The Daily Star front page said: "Shove your cake, Mr Macron. And your bloody croissants!”.

Four Royal Navy boats are on standby to patrol UK fishing waters in the event of a no-deal Brexit. Some of the national newspapers featured this story on their front pages.

The 80-metre vessels would guard British waters from EU trawlers in the event that there is no new agreement on fishing rights after December 31 when transitional arrangements end.

The confirmation of the move by the Ministry of Defence comes as Boris Johnson and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen warned on both sides of the Channel that a no-deal outcome looked more likely than an agreement in the trade negotiations.

On Friday afternoon Mr Johnson met with senior minister Michael Gove, whose has responsibility for Brexit planning, and other officials to “take stock” of Government plans for a no-deal exit.

Papers

Britain’s firing of a warning shot to Brussels over a no-deal Brexit leads many of the Saturday papers.

The Royal Navy will be given the power to arrest EU fishermen who illegally enter Britain’s waters if Boris Johnson fails to secure a Brexit deal, according to The Times, the Daily Express and the Daily Mail.
