Boris Johnson insisted that the Brexit trade deal reached with the European Union last week would return full control of the waters to Scottish fishermen. SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford insisted that Scottish fishing communities, however, had been betrayed and reiterated his party’s commitment to rejoin the EU as an independent nation. But the prime minister criticized Blackford for the “spectacular hypocrisy” of the SNP, saying: “I feel I must correct it because we will not only regain control of our waters, but we will increase Scottish shares of all relevant actions.”
“And in five years, we will take control of all the spectacular marine wealth.
“It is only the Scottish nationalist party that would return control of the waters of this country with spectacular hypocrisy.”
Johnson said: “That is their policy and they plan to re-ensnare Scotland’s fishing fleet in the nets of the Common Fisheries Policy.
“And in the meantime, guess what they’re going to do today: they’re going to vote for a no-deal Brexit today.”

Johnson continued: “This deal was negotiated by a great team, and (SNP MP David Linden) should know about it, from all parts of our UK, and it serves the entire UK, most notably by protecting the integrity of the El UK single domestic market and Northern Ireland’s place in it “.
Johnson added: “As for the leader of the Opposition (Sir Keir Starmer), I am delighted that he found another position on Brexit and that he fell down all the dead ends and exhausted all possible alternatives, he has come to the conclusion correct – that is, to vote for this agreement that this Government has obtained. “
The SNP Westminster leader disagreed that the prime minister called his party “nationalist” and demanded a retraction, to which Johnson said he had been using the term “with a lowercase n”.

The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, signed the agreement before the debate that began in the British Parliament on Wednesday morning.
Reacting to the news, a UK government source told Express.co.uk: “This is a historic day for Britain.”
MEPs will debate the deal later on Wednesday and the deal is expected to be formally ratified by the EU Parliament later this month.
The occasion comes after EU governments approved the deal on Tuesday, paving the way for its provisional application from January 1, which will allow the deal to be introduced.
