Having considered the implications, I think I am happy with Starmer's deal. It is a step in the right direction anyway and the concessions over fishing rights will only affect an industry that has all but left these shores anyway. Trouble is, the Daily Heil will sell this to its readers as giving away our sovereignty and whip up another wave of xenophobia. I don't have much time for Starmer and his Tory lights but, in this case, he has my sympathy. Either do the right thing for the country or risk the moronic wrath of the brexiteers.
