UK AND EU Leaders in talks - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " Boris Johnson and Ursula von der Leyen held a secret phone call yesterday to discuss the state of the talks and as negotiators appeared to be inching towards a breakthrough on fishing rights.  "

Lets Get Real:

One can only hope that Boris has not sold the UK fishermen down the river, the French have shown that they would go to ANY means to thwart BREXIT, the latest the hold up in Dover, the ironic part is that most of the drivers it seems are EU citizens who want to go home.  That is not to say that the mutation of the COVID - 19 virus is not a major problem, it is, but its only the French who banned lorries.  This blog is of the firm view that the UK should go for a NO DEAL Brexit, cut links with the EU and start afresh, one only hopes that No 10 has its ears open to the views of the UK voter.

EU/UK talks still have problem over FISH - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Brexit: Signs deal still possible - but differences on fisheries 'remain difficult to bridge'...With just nine days to go until the end of the transition, Michel Barnier says the bloc is giving a "final push" to reach a deal. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus we are back to FISH again, the UK Government should demand a majority of fish caught in UK waters are caught by UK fishermen, or boats with a majority of UK owners.  If need be the UK should be willing to give monies to those EU fishermen who are out of business.  The idea that the French want to keep their fish concessions at its present level should be a no go area for the UK Government.  The idea that the talks should carry on after January 1st is a no go area for the UK Government, if not, it should be.  These talks are fast becoming a FARCE, the French are using Dover as way to hammer the UK, this is what you would expect from the French. Time to get a RESULT. 

Brexit Latest - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " The EU and UK are making a "final push" for a post-Brexit trade deal, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier has said. "

Lets Get Real:

These talks have lasted longer that some modern WARS, the First Gulf War lasted a hundred Hours before victory, the UK and EU delegations must be going over every word in detail.   One can only hope that the PM stands firm against the BAD COP policy of the French, from the delays in Dover to their demand for a large Fishing concession.  It is reported that MPs have been warned to come back to the House of Commons next week to vote on a Deal.  One hopes that the ERG will go through the DEAL in detail, let's see if Boris has made major concessions to the EU, and try to stop them.  On also hopes that the LABOUR PARTY can decide on a policy, and vote either way and not abstain.
