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~
