Nigel Farage Warns: ‘End of UK Fishing Industry’ If Starmer’s EU Deal Stands | UK's U-Turn On BREXIT

Keir Starmer’s government is facing strong criticism after agreeing to a deal that allows EU fishing vessels continued access to UK waters for 12 more years. Scottish fishermen and politicians have slammed the agreement as a betrayal, calling it a “horror show” that endangers local communities and the fishing industry. The Scottish Government and opposition parties accuse UK ministers of ignoring devolved consent and sacrificing fishermen’s interests for political gain. Critics warn the deal risks harming coastal economies and undermines post-Brexit sovereignty. #KeirStarmer #FishingDeal #UKFishing #EUAccess #ScottishFishermen #Brexit #DevolvedNations #FisheryRights #ScottishGovernment #FishingIndustry #CoastalCommunities #UKPolitics #EUDeal #NigelFarage #LabourParty #ToryMSP #ScottishFisheries #PostBrexit #FishingQuota #MarinePolicy #UKWaters #FishingCrisis #SFF #PoliticalBacklash #FishingCommunities #StarmerControversy #UKGovt #TradeNegotiations #FishingRights #ScotlandPolitics #FishingDispute Also Read India, UK Sign Landmark Free Trade Agreement To Boost Bilateral Economic Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-uk-sign-landmark-free-trade-agreement-to-boost-bilateral-economic-ties-4145069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Signals Break From Globalisation Amid Trump's Tariff War: ‘We Need Different Path' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-signals-break-from-globalisation-amid-trumps-tariff-war-we-need-different-path-4116069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Embraces Zelensky At 10 Downing Street After Latter's Spat With Trump At White House | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-embraces-zelensky-at-10-downing-street-after-spat-with-trump-at-white-house-watch-4084385.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

UK Rejoins EU Power Bloc? Starmer’s $150Bn Deal STUNS Brexiteers | ‘Farage Calls It A Betrayal!’

Britain and the EU have announced a sweeping reset in their post-Brexit relationship, covering trade, defence, and mobility. The deal allows UK participation in a €150B EU defence program, cuts red tape on food exports, simplifies travel, and opens joint military procurement to firms like BAE and Rolls-Royce. Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls the agreement a step toward stability and prosperity, projecting a £9B boost to the UK economy by 2040. While critics like Nigel Farage slam it as a betrayal, the reset signals a pivot to practical cooperation over political division. #UK #EU #BrexitReset #TradeDeal #DefenceCooperation #KeirStarmer #EUUKDeal #PostBrexit #UKPolitics #GlobalTrade #BAE #RollsRoyce #MobilityScheme #ErasmusPlus #FoodExports #BorderChecks #FishingAgreement #YouthMobility #EuropeanUnion #UKNews #Diplomacy #BrexitUpdate #ForeignPolicy #TrumpEffect #MilitaryProcurement #EUDefence #UKEconomy #StarmerSpeech #GlobalUncertainty #InternationalRelations #PracticalBrexit Also Read India, UK Sign Landmark Free Trade Agreement To Boost Bilateral Economic Ties :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-uk-sign-landmark-free-trade-agreement-to-boost-bilateral-economic-ties-4145069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Signals Break From Globalisation Amid Trump's Tariff War: ‘We Need Different Path' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-signals-break-from-globalisation-amid-trumps-tariff-war-we-need-different-path-4116069.html?ref=DMDesc UK PM Starmer Embraces Zelensky At 10 Downing Street After Latter's Spat With Trump At White House | WATCH :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/uk-pm-starmer-embraces-zelensky-at-10-downing-street-after-spat-with-trump-at-white-house-watch-4084385.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~

Farage: Reform UK enjoyed PM's 'island of migrants' speech

Nigel Farage says Reform UK "very much enjoyed" Sir Keir Starmer's remarks on immigration and an 'island of migrants', which critics have likened to Enoch Powell's 'Rivers of Blood' speech in 1968. Reform's party leader urges the prime minister to declare the situation in the English Channel as a national security emergency. Starmer replies that the government's borders bill will allow law enforcement to take action "before crimes are committed", adding it is "extraordinary" that Farage "of all people, voted against it".
