This is happening, so what discussion in Parliament? I have to think this is where the scrutiny function simply doesn't work - UK-EU trade is being subject to what at least two of my eminent trade twitter colleagues have called 'shock therapy' and... nothing? https://twitter.com/scotfoodjames/status/1348946076607373314
More on fish - this time with regard to the agreements not in place with Norway, Faroes, Greenland. More boats not at sea. And remember, this was supposed to be the UK priority in talks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-55621259
Those in Parliament who studied in detail every piece of EU legislation for any potential threat to the UK now seem uninterested in things that are affecting UK trade today. I'm sure officials are doing their best. But we needs MPs speaking up. And a Minister in charge.
TL:DR I cannot believe how relaxed MPs seem to be about UK trade declining in real time. And I include the leadership of both major parties in that.
To put it another way, I have friends working practically 24:7 to protect UK trade. I do not see UK politicians offering them any support. And I can scarcely believe how passive the debate is ("oh isn't it a shame that we're losing trade...")
Others are resorting to swearing. Can't blame them going full-Dunt really. https://twitter.com/vivamjm/status/1348950906382004224
