Watch – This video explaining Brexit and the fishing industry must be viewed

"Brilliant as ever," said James O'Brien about the clip.

How is Brexit going? Well yesterday it was reported that sales of milk and cream to the European Union are down an astonishing 96 per cent – with chicken and beef not far behind – because of Brexit.

Trade barriers erected in Boris Johnson’s deal have cost exporters more than £1.1 billion since the start of the year, The Food and Drink Federation said.

With that in mind the fishing industry was one of the major issues during the lead up to Brexit and it remains so.

The Observer published an article on Sunday 25th April with the headline ‘It’s a betrayal’: Cornish fishing vote turns against Tories over Brexit deal.

Difficult

Additionally a Leave-voting fisherman expressed his regret after voting for Brexit on Danish TV this week, admitting “life has become very difficult” since.

Ian Perkes, a fish exporter from Brixham, in Devon, told broadcaster DR that he was “lied to” about the implications of leaving the EU and it has increased costs for his business.

He said: “Do you think I would have voted to leave if I’d known it was going to cost me another £80,000 a year? Of course not. Only a fool would have voted to go out, wouldn’t he, knowing that.”

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
