Brexit: Keir Starmer discusses fishing rights in 2020
This video cannot be played because of a technical error. (Error Code: 102006)
Sir Keir Starmer is facing fury from Brexiteers over reports he is set to cave in to the EU in a fishing row. The Prime Minister will reportedly give Brussels more of the UK's fish in return for a defence deal.
The Sun reported that the “likely direction of travel” is that Britain will do a deal on fish in return for UK defence firms getting access to EU weapons contracts. An insider told the newspaper that if the choice is between a small industry like fish and a big industry like defence the government “should pick the big industry”.

Brexiteer Jacob Rees-Mogg said: “The EU ought to stop carping and pay us for defence while the government must not flounder by betraying our fisherman again.”

It comes after the EU's foreign policy chief last month suggested talks over fishing should not block a security deal.
Former Estonian prime minister Kaja Kallas said: "I'm actually surprised at how important the fish are, considering the security situation".
Meanwhile, European Council President António Costa in February insisted the two areas "cannot be put on the same level".
