Boris Johnson has offered Nicola Sturgeon a wet fish for Christmas.
The prime minister offered to fill a trawl, if not a Christmas stocking, after initially not knowing what to give the prime minister as a holiday gift.
At his Downing Street press conference, the prime minister was taken aback by the question and let medical director Chris Whitty answer a technical point while he gave an answer.
After some consideration, Johnson criticized the possibility of a Brexit deal on fishing that would give Scottish boats a higher quota quota in the New Year.

He said: “There are all kinds of things that will come naturally as the UK establishes a new relationship with our friends in the European Union.
“But one thing the Scots may be especially interested in is that they will become the proud possessors of hundreds of thousands of tons of fish, shellfish and crustaceans. I don’t know if Nicola is a huge fish eater, but she will have more than possibly could consume itself for a long, long time to come. “
A spokesman for the Prime Minister did not state his dietary preference, but said: “No amount of bluster from Boris Johnson can hide the fact that he is preparing a sale of Scotland’s fisheries sector.
“Any Brexit deal is likely not to deliver what the Conservatives promised, while a no-deal would be completely devastating to our broader fishing industry, putting tariffs and other barriers in the way of some of our most valuable exports.”
