You've been through that document there. Hold it up till the viewers can't see it
0:03
There's not just one. There are surrender documents after surrender documents that Keir Starmer and his appalling government have just signed us up to
0:11
And, Martin, you know what is so dreadful is the sheer dishonesty by the government
0:16
They've been working in silos for 10 months now. Behind the scenes, we've asked plaintive questions about what is going on
0:22
But they've just literally bent the knee, bent the knee when it comes to Brussels
0:27
and every single aspect of the way in which they've just sort of fallen
0:32
at the feet of Brussels to take us back in. It is a surrender deal, but ultimately it's a betrayal of Brexit
0:37
And I think I can use that language on the basis you know exactly where I was in 2016
0:43
along with so many others that stood up for the 17 million people that voted to leave
0:48
At the end of the day, that's a win for the EU. That's a win for the EU. That's a win for the EU
0:54
The list is endless. and then you've got Kirstama having the audacity
0:58
Chopper, you were in the room, to stand up and say, this is good for Britain
1:02
There's no evidence of that. There's no impact statements. There are no details whatsoever on the substance
1:08
But having gone through many of the documents today, and to be quite frank, I mean, you know
1:13
I've spent years reading EU Speak, so you then have to translate it. Martin, you've probably been there yourself
1:18
Yes, for my sins. We can absolutely see there is stuff in here where we are now going to be legislated on through the EU
1:26
So this is now the old-fashioned transportation of EU laws back into British laws
1:32
So Chopper your approach now and your line of questioning will be totally different when it comes to Parliament We going to have to go back to having some of the scrutiny that we used to have without having a committee
1:44
because these guys don't like democracy, they don't like transparency and the fact that Keir Starmer couldn't even
1:50
come to Parliament today to speak about this is equally as appalling. In terms of
1:54
the headlines, what leapt out greatest to you? A lot of people of course are talking about fishing
2:00
We've had fishermen on the show who feel really that they've reached the end of the line. This feels like for them the death knell
2:06
of the British fishing industry. So I absolutely think, look, I mean I look at this all from
2:10
UK PLC people, people and their livelihoods and we've known I mean, starmer and farmer
2:18
and farming and agriculture is just a shocking story. So absolutely farming, no question
2:24
about that, in terms of accepting EU food standards I mean, sorry, our standards are the best in the world
2:30
why are we going to compromise and be complicit in compromising and exposing our farmers, first of all
2:36
And on fishing, what I think has happened is an absolute disgrace. The fact that he even put fishing on the table for negotiation
2:43
with a 12-year sellout where we can't come back and question and interrogate
2:48
and stop EU countries from coming into our territorial waters is an outrage
2:53
He's fundamentally let this industry down. And fishermen, this is about their livelihoods
2:59
the security of their livelihoods in the future of UK fishing. That's outrageous
3:03
And, you know, he stood up on the stage today, didn't even think about that
3:07
And you can see he's totally insincere. It's just a press conference, it's statements
3:11
it's him groundstanding with the two presidents just back-slapping each other, saying how wonderful they are
3:17
and how wonderful this deal is
