Now it appears that Saint Theresa could be "on the brink" of "selling out" UK fishermen and the CFP would remain as part of a deal with the EU to broker a "backstop" customs border in NI. Well that won't "go down" too well in certain quarters if proved to be true!

According to the financial times it's true.

Fishing is not included in the backstop/ customs union which means if it put in place (and it will be: there won't be a unicorn miracle solution for the NI border in 2020), there will be up to 23% tariffs placed on fish and customs checks required (alongside SPS checks).

The scots tories are up in arms, but only because they know they will be out on their arses next time a vote comes up to the coastal parts of northern Scotland.
