Oh dear, Brussels! EU nations set to be 'crippled' without access to UK waters post-Brexit - Express.co.uk

June Mummery told Express.co.uk that France and the Netherlands will be crippled without access to the UK's fishing waters post-Brexit. The founder of community-led group Renaissance of the East Anglian Fisheries outlined that it is time for Britain to rebuild its own industry and create thousands of jobs in the fishing sector across the United Kingdom. 

Ms Mummery said regarding which European countries will be affected the most by a lack of access to UK waters: "The French and the Dutch.

"Oh dear, the Dutch, it will cripple them because they have pulsed fish.

"That will hurt the Dutch but at the end of the day, they have had years and years of abusing our waters.

"They have had years and years of making money off UK waters and now that is it.

"It is over, those days are done.

"We now need to rebuild our industry, creating thousands of jobs for the people in this country.

"They didn’t care about us, they have never worried were are industry has gone and those days are over."

Last week Michael Gove revealed staying in the European Union for another year could cost the UK between £20billion gross and £10billion net.

"There would be a new MFF.

"It would be decided by the EU 27 and we would not have a voice in that process.

"We would find that even the limited say we had in the setting of the MFF when we were a member of the EU would have gone.

"So, we can’t know preciously what bill we may be saddled with were we to agree to another year of continued transition."

Coronavirus: 'Stop squabbling' demand over opening schools - BBC News

The government and teachers' unions should "stop squabbling and agree a plan" to reopen schools safely, the Children's Commissioner for England has said.

Anne Longfield said many disadvantaged children were losing out from schools being closed for so long.

Teachers' unions and the Department for Education have been arguing over whether it is safe to return to school.

But Ms Longfield said schools needed to open "as quickly as possible".

This week the government set out plans to begin a phased reopening of primary schools in England from 1 June.

But they have faced criticism from a coalition of teachers' unions, which have said it is still not safe to return to school.

Teachers' leaders met the government's scientific advisers on Friday, but no agreement on opening schools was reached.

The British Medical Association has backed teachers' unions by saying Covid-19 infection rates are too high for England's schools to reopen.

It has said opening schools should not be considered "until we have got case numbers much lower".

But the children's commissioner has now issued her own call for the dispute to settled, and for stronger safety measures to be introduced, such as regular testing for pupils and teachers.

"I am disappointed that the debate about when some primary school kids can return has descended into a squabble between government and the teaching unions," said Ms Longfield.

"All sides need to show a greater will to work together in the interests of children."

Schools have been closed by the coronavirus since 20 March, with lessons from schools moving online.

But Ms Longfield said that the most deprived and vulnerable children were the most likely to be falling behind and there was a growing "disadvantage gap".

"We know that the longer schools are closed the greater the impact will be on social mobility and that many children are really struggling without seeing their friends and the structure that school brings.

"We need to face the reality that for a number of reasons there are hundreds of thousands of children who can't access meaningful education at home."

She backed plans to bring back children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.

"But we should have an aspiration that all children return to school in some form before the summer and that school buildings are used for activities, summer schools and family support over the holidays."

In response, Mary Bousted, co-leader of the National Education Union, said: "We all want schools to open, as soon as it is safe to do so."

She said the teachers' union would "look at the evidence" and "make an informed judgement" about the timing of reopening schools.

A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "Getting children back to school and nurseries is in their best interests and all those working in education have a duty to work together to do so.

"We welcome the children commissioner's support for a phased return of children to primary school with many of the measures she raises, like staggering drop-off and pick-up times, keeping children in smaller groups and regular hand washing, already in train."

Schools in Wales will not be going back on 1 June and it is not expected that schools in Scotland or Northern Ireland will go back before the summer break.

In other developments:

A further 384 coronavirus deaths were recorded in the UK on Friday, as it was revealed there were 8,312 deaths linked to coronavirus in care homes in England and Wales up to 1 May, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Some 133,784 coronavirus tests were recorded, with 69,590 people tested up to 09:00 on 15 May - 3,560 of whom tested positive.

Mahesh Sorathiya, 38, has been charged with assisting an offender on or before May 12, 2020.

Both have been remanded in custody to appear before Cheltenham Magistrates' Court via video link on Saturday.

Cops swooped down on the couple who were said to be driving suspiciously near Coleford, Gloucestershire.

The Sun understands there had been attempts to burn the body.

Officers later raided a property in Birmingham, West Midlands, and discovered the grisly murder scene which is said to have resembled an abattoir, The Sun understands.

Last night six detectives made door to door enquiries at the address.

Police have also searched a second property in the Midlands.
A source close to the investigation said: “Officers attended a nd they were horrified to find the place looking like an abattoir.

“It was like a bloodbath, they found a circular saw and the woman had been cut up the middle.

“Her legs had been split and went straight up the torso and then put both halves in two suitcases.”

On Thursday detectives were given an additional 36 hours to continue questioning the two suspects.

West Midlands Police said: "We've carried out searches at properties in Wolverhampton and Birmingham as part of the investigation."

A spokesman for the Gloucestershire force said: "A post-mortem examination yesterday was found to be inconclusive and further examinations are ongoing to establish the cause of death."

Gemma Greenway, who live in Coleford, said her husband David had spotted a man entering a lorry trailer yard near their home and called police.

The 37-year-old, who runs a grooming salon and breeds dogs with her husband, said she was "shaken".

She wrote on Facebook: "I’m just so glad that David spotted him acting suspiciously and reported it."
