POLL OF THE DAY: Do you think the Government’s EU trade deal constitutes a betrayal of Brexit?

Sir Keir Starmer has struck a new deal with the European Union, which sees the UK sign up to follow EU rules and grants on trawlers access to British fishing waters for a further 12 years.

Under the deal struck with Brussels, more tourists will be able to use e-gates at airports in Europe, pet passports will be introduced for UK cats and dogs, and businesses can sell burgers and sausages into the bloc again.

The Government claimed the post-Brexit “reset” will cut red tape for travellers and businesses, boosting the economy by £9billion by 2040.

In addition, European fishing vessels will be given a further 12 years of access to British waters as part of the PM’s “reset” with Brussels.

There will be no change to current access to fish for coastal communities and no reduction in the British quota or increase in the quota the EU is allowed to catch, it is understood.

But the deal means European vessels will enjoy the same post-Brexit access they have had until 2038, 12 years after the current arrangement expires.

With that in mind, do you think the Government’s EU trade deal constitutes a betrayal of Brexit? Have your say by voting in the poll below.
